Hello all,

Been trying to set up Interstellar Annihilation, one of my favorite Doorgames, in Gameserver but can't seem to get the config right. Anyone out there have any ideas or maybe already have it set up?

Thanks,

Hello all,

Been trying to set up Interstellar Annihilation, one of my favorite Doorgames, in Gameserver but can't seem to get the config right. Anyone out there have any ideas or maybe already have it set up?

Thanks,

post your settings.

Here is my settings in Gamesrv:

[DOOR]
Name=Interstellar Annihilation
Command=DOORS\ISA\STARTISA.BAT
Parameters=*NODE
LocalOutput=True
Native=False

and here is my startisa.bat:

REM Call this batchfile as ISASTART.BAT "NodeNumber": IE: STARTISA.BAT 1
REM Switches to proper DIR
REM Change these to match your ISA startup directory.

C:
CD gamesrv\isa

IF "%1" == "L" GOTO LOCALMODE
IF "%1x" == "x" GOTO NOSTART

IF EXIST DATA\USER%1.OUT DEL DATA\USER%1.OUT
IF EXIST DATA\USER%1.IN DEL DATA\USER%1.IN

REM Loads Fossil driver
REM Edit as needed, REM Out if using a BBS with internal FOSSIL
REM
REM E:\fossil\adf\adf.exe COM1 3F8 4 115200 8192 8192 8

:BEGIN
REM Next Line for The NEW ISA (16 Bit)
REM Edit parameters as needed.
REM
ISA.EXE /H%2 /C C:\gamesrv\doors\isa\NODE%1.CFG
IF ERRORLEVEL 255 GOTO DONE
IF ERRORLEVEL 254 GOTO DOIGM
GOTO DONE

:LOCALMODE
REM Runs ISA in local mode
ISA.EXE
IF ERRORLEVEL 255 GOTO DONE
IF ERRORLEVEL 254 GOTO DOIGMLOCAL
GOTO DONE

:DOIGM
REM Runs the IGM. Do not edit this line!
CALL DOIGM%1.BAT /H%2 /C E:\CODING\ISA\DOS\NODE%1.CFG
GOTO BEGIN

:DOIGMLOCAL
REM Runs the IGM. Do not edit this line!
REM Edit parameters as needed. Should match the ISA.EXE line under BEGIN
CALL DOIGM0.BAT
GOTO LOCALMODE

:NOSTART
ECHO INCORRECT STARTING PARAMETERS!!
GOTO REALDONE

:DONE
REM Next Line shuts down the fossil driver
REM Edit as needed, REM Out if using a BBS with internal FOSSIL
REM
REM E:\FOSSIL\ADF\ADF.EXE UNLOAD

REM Next line run's ISASCORE to create scores
ISASCORE

REM UnRem and Edit next line(s) if you wish to copy the
REM ISA Score files somewhere
REM Copy DATA\ISASCORE.ANS C:\BBS\BULLS\
REM Copy DATA\ISASCORE.ASC C:\BBS\BULLS\
REM Copy DATA\ISASCORE.HTM C:\WEB\BULLS\

IF EXIST USER%1.OUT DEL USER%1.OUT
IF EXIST USER%1.IN DEL USER%1.IN

:REALDONE

Here is my settings in Gamesrv:
Command=DOORS\ISA\STARTISA.BAT

and here is my startisa.bat:
C:
CD gamesrv\isa

^^^^^^^^^^^
Two things here.

1. I find it's generally unwise to change to relative directories in door batch files.

2. Based on your line in the Gamesrv config, I don't think this is what you want to do. Try this in startisa.bat, adjusting the gamesrv directory as needed:

C:
CD \GAMESRV\DOORS\ISA

Well... still nothing but I did finally catch the error. For some reason the batch file cannot
change to the c:\gamesrv\doors\ISA directory. Says it doesn't exist when it does! I'll
have to work with it more.....
