    Hi Wall E. Weasel



    What version of NetFoss are you using? There was previously an issue (fixed in 1.23R or sometime around there) which caused a false loss of carrier from time to time. Is BRE getting this situation every time
    the door loads or just on occasion? The NetFoss bug was pretty intermittent.


    Okay my netfoss version is 1.14R but for same reason it working now
    but what to use it without fossil if I can.

    I changed to D3 Exec /w DOSXTRN (Win32)
    Data c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3

    but after the no to enter bre it didnt enter jast came back to menu

    D3 is used to shell to 32 bit doors. It doesn't actually load DOSXTRN.
    You'll need to use DX instead. Also, have you manually installed DOSXTRN.EXE to the Mystic directory and SBBSEXEC.DLL to
    Windows\System32?

    Yes I notice I put it on D3 instead of DX but done now and downloaded DOSXTRN.rar from mysticbbs\downloads and put Mystic directory and SBBSEXEC.DLL to
    Windows\System32?


    Don't forget to stop loading NetFoss when using this option. DOSXTRN provides its own FOSSIL driver.

    okay is is my Data c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3 line


    To stop using FOSSIL support in BRE you'll need to edit the game's RESOURCE.DAT file and set the FOSSIL option to NO. Depending on your setup you might have more than one of the resource files to edit.

    okay, I have done that now

    I had a go at but doesn'y work for me, nothing happens after I press the no of bre on the menu

    so there must be same thing else I have todo, do I have to change mt data line ie

    c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3

    Thank you for your help

    Hi Wall E. Weasel


    Yes I notice I put it on D3 instead of DX but done now and downloaded DOSXTRN.rar from mysticbbs\downloads and put Mystic directory and SBBSEXEC.DLL to Windows\System32?

    I downloaded this version and tried it. This version of DOSXTRN does
    not have UART emulation. It does function as a FOSSIL driver, but
    that's what you're attempting to get rid of.

    Be patient for a day. A newer version may somehow appear on your BBS.

    Cool, I wait for the newer version.

    okay is is my Data c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3 line

    Can you post your BRE.BAT file if it isn't too huge? I don't think
    it's the problem but let's make sure.

    bre
    @echo off
    c:
    cd \bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre
    srdoor
    bre planetary
    bre
    c:
    cd \bbs\mystic
    mis poll 21:1/10
    exit



    I had a go at but doesn'y work for me, nothing happens after I press
    the no of bre on the menu

    What do you see in the BBS window for that node when it attempts to run the game?

    The graphic was all wierd menu all over the place

    Do you have a physical serial port at COM1 on the BBS machine? If so, BRE is using that if it runs with the Fossil option set to No. You should see the game running but with no data going to the remote user.

    I didn't thing so, I using hyper-v guest so really cannot answer that one


    If you don't have one I would expect the NTVDM to barf when BRE
    attempts to un.

    yes I got that NTVDM when I was using nefoss the first time.

    Thank you

    Cool, I wait for the newer version.

    Check your inbound directory for a newer copy along with the latest NetFoss.

    While reinstalling dosxtrn in my test machine I re-discovered something I didn't mention. If you are using a version of Windows later than XP you'll need to copy sbbsexec.dll to both the Mystic root directory AND the Windows System32 directory. Mystic won't launch DX doors unless it's in the Mystic directory but Windows needs it in the System32 directory.

    bre
    @echo off

    bre planetary
    bre
    c:
    cd \bbs\mystic
    mis poll 21:1/10
    exit

    There's an issue here but it's not likely the cause of your other problems. As it's set up now, BRE will use another player's data if someone runs the game from other than the first node. Let's get things set back up and running before tackling this one. It's an easy fix but tedious.

    If you don't have one I would expect the NTVDM to barf when BRE
    attempts to un.

    yes I got that NTVDM when I was using nefoss the first time.

    Was that with the FOSSIL option in BRE set to Yes? If so, there something more going on here.

    okay I did all that and YES it is working fine now useing dx and

    Now you fix DX, what do I have to do to fix my bat file

    yes I got that NTVDM when I was using nefoss the first time.

    Was that with the FOSSIL option in BRE set to Yes? If so, there
    something moregoing on here.

    okay it work now, so I am sure we don't have to do any thing about
    NTVDM, right.


    just another question about dx in linuk rasbperry os in mystic.
    or is it only Window.

    Thank you

    Hi Wall E. Weasel

    would I just change port to say 24 or would I have to insert it in
    another line with out the # save a reboot.

    You would either remove the # and change it to say "Port 24" or insert another line with only "Port 24". The # indicates the rest of the line is a comment so it's ignored by SSHD...

    Okay, I have changed sshd port to 2222 rebooted and using port 22
    for my mystic ssh server cool.

    I tend to always insert a new line with my configuration and leave the original commented one in. It helps me remember the default values
    when I'm messing with things.

    I all so did this

    It's just as easy to forward to port 2222 as it is 22.

    True.

    do you mean What I have done in mystic config server port 22 to 24
    and set the router up for port

    Yes, just have your router forward to whichever port you have set up instead of 22.

    That's cool all fixed now with your help thank you

    just a question in bre per mystic data command line
    mine is c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3

    is this setting okay to use for the node1 node2 node3 etc

    Thank you

    Hi Wall E. Weasel

    That's cool all fixed now with your help thank you

    Great! Glad it's working.

    Yes it is great.

    just a question in bre per mystic data command line
    mine is c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3

    is this setting okay to use for the node1 node2 node3 etc

    Yes, %3 passes the node # which is what you want to use. %N would also be fine.

    Cool, and thank you very much for the help with bre and ssh settings
    and have a nice day
