./GalacticDynasty -D $GDYNDIR/odoors/DORINFO1.DEF
All the recent mention of Galactic Dynasty gave me some energy to try it out on my Mystic BBS. I have managed to get things going, but I am
certain that my setup is not what it should be. For one, I cannot create more than one nation. From what I understand, it should be possible for each user to create their own nation, and then go to attack other
nations. With my setup (latest version of GalDyn), only my initial
nation is available to whomever launches the door. Could somebody please help me troubleshoot?
I'm not 100% sure where mystic stores it's dropfiles, I think from memory it would be something like:
./GalacticDynasty -D $MYSTICDIR/temp$NODE/dorinfo1.def
Hopefully BP can help you out some more as he has it running with mystic on Linux as I am just guessing on the node directory and the case of the dropfile.
It was a bit of a pain to get it running... The other thing, is Mystic creates the dropfiles with uppercase, instead of lowercase. That was another thing that was messing me up

Hmm, perhaps there should be a mysticlnx.txt or something in the distribution, given that most people will probably be running mystic.
I might copy some of your other message down if thats ok and pop it in a text file?
Not a problem. If you'd like, I could write something up that looks a little more professional. :

Ooo, yes please :)
You got 'em! Take a look in your upload directory on Exotica. I updated the Windows version as well as adding the Linux version... :

Never offer to write documentation for a coder, you will soon have a full time job. <Laugh>

I thought about that after I had sent the message. By then it was too late... lol

In Mystic, I'm calling the script file with Command DD and data of:
~/doors/gdyn/gdyn.sh %PDORINFO1.DEF %3
Here is my script file that I'm using:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/doors/gdyn
./GalacticDynasty -D $1 -N $2
./GalacticDynasty maintenance
I hope this helps.

I think this is the problem, you want the DORINFO1.DEF file created by mystic, not the test one included with galactic dynasty.
The DORINFO1.DEF is like DOOR.SYS etc, which contain user information passed from the bbs. You appear to be using the same file each time, so
GD will think it's the same user if that makes sense.
Hopefully BP can help you out some more as he has it running with
mystic on Linux as I am just guessing on the node directory and the
case of the dropfile.
I hope this helps.
Thanks Dan, it sure did! It works perfectly. Next step is to get the inter-bbs thing to work, but that is now in the future.
