Franchise_24

just want to touch base on where we are/where we are headed:

Tele-Arena CLASSIC (WGNT) - Completed. this game is a replica of Tele-Arena GOLD, adding in the dwarven kingdom monsters and the stone passages, nothing else has been touched, it is exactly as it was when it was released in 1996 from ...

Franchise_24

Also The DarkSide BBS is running the current version of the game. Telnet to darkside.dtdns.net

Franchise_24

Thank you for this great guide. I will be trying this soon, and if I can do it, your guide is a success LOL.

Franchise_24

Any updates on the step by step tutorial to setup DNews?

Franchise_24

That sounds freaking awesome!!

Franchise_24

Send it my way, and I'll add it. Also send me the update for TA since you added the new BG features and whatnot...

Franchise_24

Send it my way so I can update for everyone playing....

Franchise_24

10 people online and playing right now. Very active. Been on all day and no crashes and no issues so far. I invite others to come check it out as well.

Franchise_24

Any update on DNews, or the availability of some other type of free software to use for DoveNet?

Franchise_24

I need more help testing this thing out. Dan is very quick at getting patches for issues I've found so far. I just can't do it all by myself.

Telnet to darkside.dtdns.net

Franchise_24

Got about 4 running the first arena now. Looking for more to join.

Franchise_24

Can I get an upgrade from v4 I bought? That's the one that had the wrong date when you did =td or whatever the command was.

Franchise_24

Isn't there some type of software we can use that's free or built in with WG? Seems kinda crazy to pay close to $100 just to get some linked message bases. The WordLink forums are already a joke. There's no activity, not many have added them, and half the forums don't work with the addresses they ...

Franchise_24

I don't believe that board has been online for quite some time now... About 2 years ago when I started it was down and he wasn't active on the forums...

Franchise_24

Thank you

Franchise_24

Now where did this version of TA come from?

Franchise_24

So Rick/Dan, what the heck do I do about the TA 5.6d that I purchased? I feel like I kinda got the shaft here. Now there is 20 other TA's being talked about, and I'm feeling left out in the cold. I was told I was going to be the official Beta Test site, and now I just really feel like I'm being ...

Franchise_24

Yep! I learned a lot I did wrong lol

Franchise_24

I want a stable reliable Mutants for WG 3.3. Dspain was making a clone, but I think it has long been forgot. There is 4.0 that Rick gave me, but it is loaded with bugs. That would be my #1 priority now that I have a working TA on WG3.3 (which I still need my update for Dan <G>)

Franchise_24

Now that I have my WorldLink Forums working, I'd like to be able to use QWK packets and I don't really see how you can set those up. I hit Q and go into the QWK section of the BBS, and when I go to download them it scans my HELLO forum and that is it. I don't see a way to set which conferences you ...

Franchise_24

Any updates on getting dove net working?

Franchise_24

Really? I'm almost positive I changed it over...lemme look and report back...

Edit:
Ok I checked it, and I *DID* switch over to the majorbbs Worldlink, but some how it was still connecting to netvillage?? GO figure. The only problem I saw was it didn't like to resolve worldlink.themajorbbs.com so I ...

Franchise_24

Ok, I'll ask again politely (bats eyes) can someone give me direction on setting up the world link forums? I created a new forum WGSysop for example. Got to the end where it asked to add an echo and added WF:wl.sysop.general and it adds it but I dont think my messages are going out. When I look at ...

Franchise_24

that's great, but I still don't know how to set them up, or send/receive. If I can get help getting it going I'm sure I can do the rest.

Franchise_24

Ok, well someone get ahold of me since you have my info so I can try to get this set up

Franchise_24

Sent my info to Rick. Still waiting for further info...

Franchise_24

Can you go into detail on how to set the Forums up through wordlink. That is all new to me. Thanks!

Franchise_24

Please do! I would be extremely interested in this. Linked forums are the one thing my WG system is desperately missing. When I ran Synchronet that was the nice thing being able to participate in the forums. That would be a big +1 for WG if we can do it.

What type of time frame are you thinking?

Franchise_24

I figured after all the moaning we've down in the last year about worldlink, this would be a good time to say Thank you to Rick for getting it back up and running. Is there a spot I can redownload the new files that are needed to make the Teleconference linkup work when you go in so youre in the ...

Franchise_24

Rick, my main question is how do you copyright monster names and room descriptions? Like a warlock or a ogre or a minotaur, or The Cave is dimly lit. How does all that go down?
I think there's wiggle room in copyright law for things like that.

If i made a game completely un-similar to TA, and ...

Franchise_24

I understand that maps are unique, I was more wondering about names and such. So basically you can use names and types of room descriptions, but when it gets to layout that's when things can get hairy.

So wait, Questmans Worldlink server is running again? LOFnL! I just switched to netvillage a few weeks back. What is the address again for the worldlink server?

By running are you referring to net villages world link?

Franchise_24

Could Dan or someone tell me what DLL file I need to revert back to so I can run Worldlink from Netvillages server? There are about 4 or 5 BBS's on there, and 1 BBS had 23 users, 1 had 10, I had about 18 on mine, but when I join TC there is no linked Teleconference because I changed a .DLL File to ...

Franchise_24

You 2 always seem at odds over TA. I thought you 2 were partners working together on this project?

I can find probably about 4 to 5 different people in this thread *alone* that have volunteered to host Wordlink for you................

Franchise_24

So when ya gonna release this?

Franchise_24

Post all the info for it then please. And won't things be screwy since we've updated a DLL file to work with Questmans WL?

*Edit
If the other one is constantly working, why don't we *ALL* just change over and then we will be good to go?

just use the original, or extract it from a vanilla install ...

Franchise_24

Just thought I'd chime in and say WorldLink has been down since about July of 2011. It sure is too bad we can't get this thing running again. People want to keep the hobby and community alive but seems no one does anything to get it running again....

Franchise_24

Can't wait to have the new beta online and running...then people will stop bugging me about it, and I get to quit bugging you LOL.

Check the new TA out on the beta system:

The DarkSide BBS
darkside.dtdns.net

Franchise_24

SO there is somewhere out there where I can point the BBS to rlogin into and connect to a TWGS server and my users can play off the main BBS instead of going to the Synchronet doors server I have set up?

The more options off the main BBS instead of going into a doors server the better. Would be ...

Franchise_24

Any updates on the WorldLink server back up or passing the "hubship" off to someone else?

Franchise_24

I still don't see why Rick doesn't do something about it. I understand the legal fees, but if it is truly his, why would he just let someone sell it. Hell I'd write up a stop order myself and send it to them or something. Basically I'd find some way to stop it.

Franchise_24

So what about people who have already purchased this game? You're saying it's illegal and needs to be taken down?

Franchise_24

Sounds good where do I get it?I looked at the symantec website

seems the one i have is discontinued but was replaced with this:

http://www.symantec.com/business/products/purchasing.jsp?pcid=pcat_security&pvid=endpt_prot_sbe_1&inid=US_biz_SAVMigration_SEPSBE

still not too expensive, 23-35 a ...

Franchise_24

I have it running on my system if anyone wants to check it out.

Can I download a demo to run?
