    When trying to set up this door, I keep getting this error:

    1/16 21:36:15 term Node 2 <Grease> running external program: Solomoriah's War 1/16 21:36:15 term Node 2 <Grease> !JavaScript /sbbs/xtrn/war/war.js line 2418: Error: No filename specified

    Which filename is it looking for?

    what is line 2418 of that file on your system?

    Which filename is it looking for?

    AFAICT, it isn't looking for a file... it is trying to create a file object to work with...

    what is line 2418 of that file on your system?

    I don't know. I was seeing if someone else ran into this problem before and would reply, just do this. I would do it, and it would work.

    If not, then I would have to dig deeper and see if I wanted to fix it or work on something else.

    On 2020 Jan 17 10:28:10, you wrote to me:

    I don't know. I was seeing if someone else ran into this problem before
    and
    would reply, just do this. I would do it, and it would work.

    i asked for a specific reason... you didn't quote the rest of my message that states that it appears that line is trying to create a new file object...

    If not, then I would have to dig deeper and see if I wanted to fix it
    or work on something else.

    i have the game running on another sbbs system being hosted here... from a quick look, it appears that the war.js i have on sestar is the same as the one on this other system... i'm not aware of any coding work done on the game since i first saw it and we set it up...

    i don't recall running into this specific problem you are seeing because the game was set up back in like 2014 and has been running ever since... AFAIK, it hasn't had any problems but that board is very little used and was an experimental system spun up for a friend of mine...

    IIRC this game has a scheduled event that also runs to maintain the files and perform the player's movements... it may be that that event has to run first to create some needed file(s) for the first time and then players may join... i really don't recall as it was so long ago...

    i just popped into that game on that system and it is still running... i don't remember how to play it, though, and it appears that many of my troops abandoned me LUL

    Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

    I set up the nightly WAR update and also there is one for the player turns. I have it set to do one an hour, instead of a minute. Checked today, and still same error.
    So, I guess I'll dig a little deeper.
