Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to setup Lemon Aid Stand v4.20 on my system and I recieve the following error when running the programs utility function.

LEMON UTILITY

When I pass UTILITY into the exe I get the following error.

-+-
c:\sbbs\xtrn\LEMON42>LEMON UTILITY

Input past end of file in line No line number in module UTILITY at address 0ABA:02C4

Hit any key to return to system
-+-

Anyone familar with this error and knows how to resolve it?

Thanks,
Electrosys

That usually means you have something wrong in the config file for the door. Go reread your docs, and check your work.

That was exactly it. I was missing the last name for the sysop in the cfg file. Once I added the last name into the config file I was able to run the utility.

I reviewed the docs pretty thoroughly and I'm still having some trouble getting the door to run. I've included my cfg, bat and SCFG for the door. Can you point out anything else that I may be missing?

I get an ERROR Overflow aborted when running with the config below.

Why complicate things with the batch file?

Just make your command-line "lemon lemon.cfg /fd". Synchronet automatically sets those PCB environment variables (if the door actually needs them).
http://wiki.synchro.net/config:env#automatic

You don't need a batch file the vast majority of the time.

I updated the config as suggested but I still get the "Overflow Error". It seems that the game is able to find the DOOR.SYS file as I have tried other combinations and recieved a "File not Found error" but it seems when I pass the correct path for the DOOR.SYS file, I get an overflow error.

Any insights as to why I continue to recieve the overflow error?

P.S. I tried using the pcboard drop file type (PCBOARD.SYS) but when I used that seeting it seemed to make the problem worse as I was not able to get the game to be able to find that file at all.

Also note that when I use the following path in the cfg file which I think is actually the correct way I still recieve the same overflow error:

You may have to get rid of all the pcb stuff, and use an actual path. some doors don't like replaceable perameters. Try just using multiple cfg files like lemon1.cfg, lemon2.cfg etc, one for each node and callell it by
"lemon lemon1.cfg /fd, and it will prob work. I don't run that door, but if you still have problems, send me a copy, and I will try to get it running for you.

I tried hardcoding the path to the DOOR.SYS file using c:\sbbs\node1\door.sys while I was logged on to the board and the file was avialble, but I still recieved the same error. I think the game is actually able to find the file. Maybe there is some data within the file that the game is not expecting?


This appears to be the same file that I'm using on my board.

I was suggesting the simplification of your setup but not using a batch file. I wasn't meaning to imply that would somehow solve the "Overflow Error".

My guess is something in the drop file (door.sys) that it doesn't like. It worked for me, however (both with and withOUT the /FD option):

lemon.cfg:

I couldn't get the door to work with PCBOARD.SYS or USERS.SYS either (always reported "File not found"). You could try other drop file formats however as the door game seems to also support dorinfo#.def and callinfo.dat (though I didn't test those).

BBS Drop File Type RBBS/QuickBBS DORINFO1.DEF

I changed to using the DORINFO1.DEF file and it works fine for me now. It
would be interesting to go through and figure out why the DOOR.SYS file isn't working but I'm happy I was able to get the door working with the DORINFO1.DEF file.

I'ts a pretty fun game.

Thanks!

Electrosys

P.S. Maybe tomorrow or sometimes this week ill try to diff your DOOR.SYS file with mine.

This is my DOOR.SYS file - I notice first hand that some of my values are quite higher than some of your values, maybe one of those values is overflowing.

Yeah, your minute credits (line 42 of door.sys) was 449632, which apparently needs to be <= 32767 to be compatible with the door library (DoorFrame) used to write this door.

I found line 52 (posted messages) had the same limitation. I'll be making a commit to limit those door.sys lines to those values.
