hmm what errors? i just installed a clean copy of taedit 1.0m then applied the gold database update and have been using that to pull data from as i make my new wg 2.0 ta engine.

give me the play by play from the time you install it til you get your first error.

Well I was in meltdown mode ...

Montroze

Since I cannot get my TA editor fixed (without Sean) and the main reason why I bought WG 2.0 or to find a completly clean editor (thanks Dan, but it was with errors) I will ask my Son if he wants all the goodies and if not I think I will just trash everything, don't feel like selling or ebaying it ...

Montroze

That would be awesome TKS !

Montroze

i have clean editor files for the standard 5.6 releases and the added gold stuff.

you mean the DBF/DBT files right? if you are gonna revert that way just install a clean editor save the MCV files and move em to your wg dir, boom fresh vanilla data.

That would be awesome could you shoot me a ...

Stock rooms 3096.

Would anyone happen to have a clean editor, taking out Sean's Red X'ed cells and possibly empty cells. Have to start over seeing I may have a spare 5 years! lol (yep back to 3096)

Well i guess this is impossible. Guess its back to emulating and typing =b on the users screen and send a message.

its a double edged sword of trust... you just want to say something, but it creates a lot of suspicion over time... its usually best to never use it, most things can be handled ...

Awesome it worked, many thanks !

You can't leave it blank. If it's blank, everyone has all sysop functions. Leave SYSOPKEY set to sysop. Change GAMOPKEY to whatever key you want to assign the game-op powers to (I used wccgameop). The .ini file will then let you limit which game-op powers they actually have rather than giving ...

Montroze

Wondering if their is a sysop only utility to bypass users busy signal, without having to go to the emulation screen and type on the users screen? Would be handy to get a message to the user with some kind of util. to bypass all busy's.

Montroze

This way I can go back to any date or time things were done...

That sounds like a good idea. Dan wasn't sure what you meant, setup as outlined in the manual windows 98 screen flashs and loads the board.
Yes I tried running both in DOSmode and win98 command prompt and it didnt run.

Now here's ...

Running WG2.0 DOS flavor.

Montroze

Damm, I thought that was the problem, still getting ' incorrect dos version' any ideas

Montroze

I think I know the answer, I made the .bat file on another computer. (I may need that brain transplant yet)

Montroze

I have had this going for years and it worked great, since my last switch of servers I get a "incorrect DOS version" when the server hits the bbsclean.bat
something like this,

xcopy c:\wgserv *.* /s d:\wgserv

The server has DOS 6.22 on it and also win98se.

Any suggestions?

Montroze

Create a text file called wccmmud.ini and any the following lines you wish to use to it:

SYS_DISABLE_GANGS=SYSOP
SYS_RESET_ROOMS=SYSOP
EXP_IN_TOPGANG=1
SYS_MAP_KEY=NORMAL
SYS_GOTO_KEY=wccgameop
SYS_GOTO_SIL=wccgameop <---
SYS_GOTO_NEW=wccgameop
SYS_GOTO_KHAZ=wccgameop
SYS_GOTO_LOST=wccgameop

Tried this tonight and the player has all the sys options, that was using the first .ini list in this thread, I will try your .ini tommorrow.

Montroze

Well I was able to pull up a posting from the old forumsHQ using the waybackmachine - it actually still let me link to post, It mentions clearing out the gameop or wccgameop and leaving that blank, could that possibly be why it didnt work for me ?

Montroze

For some reason that didn't work. I just changed the goto's for areas and map and used my GAMES key. Logging in an account without master and tried and did nothing buy say "sysop goto silvermere" checked that account key ring and it already had the GAMES key. ?

Montroze

Thank you, will try this out today.

Montroze

Running a very old version 1.1s - WG 2.0 DOS flavor, anyone else running the old dos version that has changed these settings for users to have just those 2 options? goto and map....Thanks

Montroze

The few MM players I have told me they can no longer purchase Minor healing potions, the shop no longer list's them. ??? I'm running a very old version (off hand not sure whay it is) could that be the problem? Can anyone list the versions to do updates (wg2.0 Dos) from the beginning, and a possible ...

Montroze

Anyone happen to have a demo of this, it was for MBBS/WG. I contacted Seth Able and he could not find the module other then a door version he did.

Montroze

Ahh, got it, has to be taken away when going into a room <slap> montroze</slap>

Whats the differance between them. Also forgot about editing the .dbf files, altho I'm not sure what I am looking for? maybe black fields, delete them and edit the list file for as many as I take out?

Montroze

Well this might be asking the obvious, but have you updated the IP address associated with your no-ip.com domain name using their little update utility for your account?

Perhaps try switching your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 which is google's free dns server and see if that makes a difference in ...

Anyone else noticing the slow loading of the forums? Thought it might have been from my wireless laptop, but on mainputer still slow ??

My editor is fuged and would like to know the best way of back dating it.(I started with a clean editor last night and made 5 rooms and said that was enough!) I have a lot of different mcv saves from over the years. Which would be the prefered way of doing this.
1) copy the mcv's into a stock editor ...

Montroze

Well that worked using the IP of the server, it just doesn't work with my no-ip address (?) but this should be ok doing it this way, at least I can use the programs. Thanks

Montroze

This has been ongoing for some time (at least 6 months) and wondering on a fix. No matter what client I try to use - ZOC, Putty, putty portable, kitty it opens up as if to connect and stops at that. The only way I can connect to my server is in windows and using the IP of the server. Ex - telnet ...

Where can this be grabbed from and what is the charge?

Well I'm not so lucky and am basically broke, I guess if I opened these type of emails I couldbe set for life...but I never open this garbage and delete it.!
I don't open spam.

Yeah Im running the 'ol WG2.0 DOS version, and just trying to block access. Doesn't matter about the message they get or logged to the audit, but at some point I may use the option for the message.

As I have been adding IP's to a deny.txt file, uploading it and downloading it into my wgserv <DIR> (at least 10 a day with 10 or more connections) I see 3 or 4 get a message - while access denied to this * is all i can read in the audit trail.
It would be cool if something could be whipped up so ...

Montroze

Yeah just the file name worked, I took the top ten with 10 or more logins and put them in the file, was good all night, well from 9-midnight. Most likely have to add more today. Not sure if these can be wildcarded, but just a few as my IP starts with 24. also. Thats where most of the offenders IP's ...

Montroze

under security and accounting and tcp/ip settings you should have a "HOSTDENY" file you can name... then add ip addresses to block. (well at least in my wg3.2)

Yes that option is in WG2.0 also, so I take it I make a file called deny.txt and drop that into the BBS directory and it will be found ...

Montroze

Anyone else get a pile of these connections that don't register or login? The audit trail is filled with these, every 2 to 4 minutes and all are close IP's to each other, I assume the dup. IP addon is only good for when people actually logon. Too bad or is their a way to grab their IP and the first ...

i had alot of issues with 3.15b so i went with 3.14a and everything went smoothly.
you can also install x00 fossil, rename x00.sys to x00.com and load/unload from command line.

Montroze

Well it seems that the version of SBBS I was running 3.13 needs to be upgraded to 3.15. I found a sysop who shot me his config. for this door, so should be good to go - something about the fossil not working in 3.13 with w2k.

no the javascript is still in development, i have a ton of old door games i been porting to WG ill release a list soon.

Do you have this to d/load in your file lib. if so whats you addy.

Montroze

Anyone running syncro. as a door server? Mines been running good but have a problem with one door game - The Lost Temple 1.0. I cant seem to get it running. That would be the old, as some say, telearena door game.
