Um... upon exiting jsexec you get that error? Or there's some other error that constitutes a "barf"? Please elaborate.

as well as
Creating Players ...
!JavaScript /sbbs/exec/../xtrn/tw2/players.js line 904: TypeEr◙

What does 904 of that file look like? The one in CVS looks like this:
db.lock(Settings.DB,'players',LOCK_WRITE);

and of course attempting to play the game it barfs

ERROR: Configuration Invalid

any ideas?

Not immediately. Need more details.

I used the word barf because that is what line 3 of twint500.js says ... i Duece's words LOL

In the twint500.js config program ... as it exits to save it says

error 0 connecting to TCP port 10088 on server

once the script is complete the console error is line 904

yes, that is the same line I have

kinda thinking it may be a windows firewall issue

10088 is the port that the json-db service listens on normally. Do you have the following in your ctrl/services.ini file (or something similar)?

[JSON]
Enabled=true
Port=10088
Interface=127.0.0.1
Options=STATIC | LOOP
Command=json-service.js
JavaScriptTimeLimit=0

Yes, exactly the same, and (under windows) SBBS Control Panel shows JSON clients initialized all JSON databases and listening ...

I thought I would give it a go to see if I could set it up, I did not get the same error, this is what I get.
sorry DOS doors not supported on this node

I have a feeling I need to set up my nodes somehow, yes already went through the wiki on this but I guess since I have never actually set up a door on synchronet myself I missed something obvious.
my port 10088 is opened on the BBS computer, the services.ini file is good.
I will go back to the wiki and look for anything to do with setting up my nodes, I am trying to setup tw2 js just because this topic came up and I will use it as a learning opertunity.
thanks in advance to all that may reply.

It sounds like your command-line in SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs ... tw2, is wrong. If you don't use the '?' prefix, Synchronet will think you're trying to run an executable (not a script) and in this case, it thinks you're trying to run a 16-bit DOS prgoram which is not supported on your BBS. So, double-check your configuration in SCFG.

you

What do you have in your xtrn/tw2/server.ini file?

I don't see an xtrn/tw2/server.ini or one in cvs.synchro.net/xtrn/tw2/

I was able to get twint500.js to work by changing the Server Hostname to localhost from alleycat.synchro.net (and variations thereof)... not sure if that will interfere with interbbs or not

Right, the docs say:

That '*' is effectively the same as '?'. I'm guess you used neither.

Oh, I guess it doesn't use one. Most of those json-db games use a "server.ini" file.

No, it's not a DOS program, so the error is misleading. Try this configuration in SCFG, it works for me:

Name JavaScript Trade Wars

Start-up Directory ../xtrn/tw2
