Has anyone heard from Questman lately, or have any way of contacting him? I've been trying to email him about purchasing a DupeIP license since January and haven't been able to get in touch with him. I know he gets busy with his real job, and is tough to get hold of sometimes. But I'm trying to give ...

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 ...

You have to set it up in your CNF under WCCMMUD, where it says has sys command, leave it blank.

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.

The CS manager is good for editing the menu tree online. I still use it for that today, rather than taking the board down to make changes. I think that's about the only thing that can't be done otherwise.

Arctic Trivia is about to be released, v1.00 is a terminal mode only app and unlike far west it comes with both empty question and action databases, sorry ya gotta make your own, however as 1.00 is being checked out im gonna be hard at work on v2.00 which adds active-html web mode as well as a more ...

I like it! A nice contemporary twist on the typical mud games. Need to post "Zombie Kill of the Week". Can't wait to try it out

Ragtop

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 ...

Looks like we have a winner here. I successfully sent several messages from the board to my regular email address without any problems. Just make sure to set it to send on a non-ssl port. I initially used ssl port 465, and it couldn't send on that, so I switched to my isp's alternate non-ssl port ...

I tried connecting, I posted the pics here for the dialer. The connection times out.

Is there other settings besides the scheduler/dialup I need to set up?

thanks

Reverse the time settings. You have it connecting from 11:59 til 12:00 ...

Is this finally working. I would like to join this, I still run the largest BBS and have about 60 24/7 users. I believe some of them will like it. We talk about the old char system from time to time. My top user base has increased lately with the closing of a lot of boards that have gotten ...

Actually, the first time, you have to set it to display a file or it won't do it. Once you've done that, you can edit it as you please.

I see that setting in the menu editor. I started using ansi screens in WG 1.0 (MBBS actually, but I didn't set that one up) and never had to set that. Maybe the ...

OK, next problem. CONTROL 5.62 (after updating it) immediately causes WG 3.3 to crash if I try to load it. Something about an unrecognized errorlevel (-1073741819) returned from WGSERVER.EXE. It doesn't happen when I disable CONTROL 5.62. Any ideas? I even removed and re-installed CONTROL in case ...

Actually, there is an option if you edit it with WGSDRAW to pick what gets dimmed or not by menu option if you highlight areas with the ALT-M option. ALT-K shows what you've highlighted already. Just draw it out ahead of time, edit as needed, then re-save it. Make sure that you use wgsrunmt to ...

I'm having a really odd problem with Worldgroup 3.3. If I assign a user class to someone that has certain keys in it, the BBS ignores the keys. :? Even if I give those keys to the user specifically, it still ignores them. The only thing that gives access to a user is a MASTER key, and of course ...

Since you asked nice :)

I just logged onto your board. The first thing I noticed is you're connected to worldlink, but not to our worldlink hub. Go into your worldlink schedule configuration and change the address to worldlink.themajorbbs.com and reconnect. My guess is you're connecting to the ...

Ragtop

That's what I thought. Was just hoping it could be a simple modification to have it go through another module instead of teleconference. Maybe trivia or some other game could be added to the worldlink dll.

We need to come up with something that will draw people into the tele rather than just ...

Ragtop

Can Worldlink be configured to run through the Farwest Trivia telecconference rather than Worldlink teleconference? It would be pretty cool to have linked trivia games running if it's possible.

Ragtop

Nope. Majorbbs worldlink is running again

Ragtop

Wonderful to see Worldlink is up and running! Let's get everyone connected now. We're a community again!!

Ragtop

It seems to be running fine now. Maybe something screwy happened during the original install. I haven't had any issues for a little over a week.

Still no FTP though. When it tries to connect to the WG FTP server, it gets rejected. I can connect to the server with Filezilla FTP client but Turbo ...

Ragtop

Dan, I emailed this to you a couple days ago, but I've been having problems with my email. Did you get it? It seems to be running ok again for now. I had to delete and reinstall the program and copy the config files over it. Still no luck with getting ftp to work.

Ragtop

It's running now. Figured out a workaround to the FTP problem. Not perfect but it's updating the pages as it should.

Well, it's running but it isn't terribly stable. It will run fine for a while, then start getting errors while building the webpages and quit working. I'm trying to isolate what ...

Hey Mal! Long time no see!

I remember all the problems you were having. It sucks when that sort of thing makes you almost hate your hobby. Maybe you should consider reopening Nostalgia, but keep it small. Don't try to be everything to everybody. You can run it all on one server. Pick a few things ...

I noticed that turbosentry has been connecting to my bbs and was wondering who now runs it and the webpage to see the results it displays.
Anyone know?

Yes, I do have it running. It's connecting to the boards and updating the webpages on my end. Currently having issues getting it to FTP the pages ...

Ragtop

well lets pass the word and get quite a few on there.

It's worldlink.netvillage.com. I've been connecting to it since the other one went down. Only a few other boards on it right now though.

Guess we'll need to give a new name then. Or at least a new address

Ragtop

I normally see him 3 or 4 times a week. I'll let you know.

Just to get it back up and running would be nice but ultimately someone needs to sit down and completely rethink/recode the way that the program works. Your description earlier was pretty spot on for how it works but there are much ...

No exporter was used. As stated it just logged in and ran the top lists into capture files. I have the ...

I'm wondering if anyone else has any interest in trying to create a new centralized leaderboard, like Turbosentry, for our games?

I guess we're no closer to having worldlink working again? It's been offline six months now. Come on, Rick. If you aren't going to do it, pass it off to someone who will!

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

Thier was a post a few days back about the server is being repaied but it seems to have vanished.

I was curious if 2-3 of us could run as hubs, kind of interconnected with offset matenance times. That way ...

Dspain's latest smtp server allows you to switch the sending port, but does not have authentication. If he can add that, all my email problems go away :)

While Questman's WL server has been down, I've been connecting to the netvillage server (don't judge me :) ) I've noticed that all day long, boards connect to it for a couple minutes and then log off. The way it's happening looks like connecting, sending mail and disconnecting. So I think the ...

Ragtop

The way they are currently set up, when you are connected to one, you don't see anything about the other. And that may be how it has to be. There are options for multiple servers to connect to but you can only connect to one at a time (as far as I know), and it doesn't seem to scroll through them if ...

Ragtop

I agree 100%. It doesn't take much to run these things, and other than checking occasionally to make sure it hasn't crashed, require almost no attention if you didn't want to mess with it. I was just suggesting multiple servers as an option in case one does crash/die/whatever. Just wasn't sure if it ...
