  • Rlogin door server?

    From tmcca@VERT to All on Thu Mar 9 03:17:15 2023
    I am trying to setup Synchronet as door server on my other pc and I call it like this ?rlogin myserverip TG_RLOGINSWAP

    however, when I do it ask if my terminal supports mouse reporting etc. Why is this happening?

    I have in my logon in modopts have rlogin_xtrn_menu = true

    what am I missing here?

    Thanks

    I am trying to setup Synchronet as door server on my other pc and I call it like this ?rlogin myserverip TG_RLOGINSWAP

    Is there a reason to swap the username and password?

    however, when I do it ask if my terminal supports mouse reporting etc. Why is this happening?

    Because a new user account is being created. The log output of sbbs should indicate this - have a look.

    I have in my logon in modopts have rlogin_xtrn_menu = true

    what am I missing here?

    Nothing. If you don't want new users to be prompted about mouse support, set that string to a blank ("") string in your ctrl/text.dat file.

    When I use ?rlogin myserverip xtrn=mydoor` !JavaScript rlogin.js line 17: ReferenceError: DARKNESS is not defined

    The correct order of parameters is:

    // usage: ?rlogin address[:port] [telnet_gateway_mode] [client-name] [server-name] [terminal-type]

    Where terminal-type would be your xtrn=DARKNESS or whatever and telnet_gateway_mode is something like TG_RLOGIN or TG_NONE.

    The proper syntax, from http://wiki.synchro.net/module:rlogin, is:

    ?rlogin <address>[:port] [mode] [client-name] [server-name] [terminal-type]

    You're passing "xtrn=mydoor" as the 2nd argumnet (mode) instead of the 5th argument (terminal-type).

    To specify the terminal-type argument, you must also specify the other argumnets. A mode value 0 is the default and should work fine.

    ok, in order to go to actual door game is to pass a username to rlogin? If thats the case how would new users play the same game? I tested it I sent ?rlogin myserverip Guest Guest xtrn=Darkness and goes to that game. Im confused

    Yes.

    If
    thats the case how would new users play the same game?

    You would use command-line specifiers (e.g. %a for user alias) to include that on the command-line.

    I tested it I sent
    ?rlogin myserverip Guest Guest xtrn=Darkness and goes to that game. Im confused

    I just updated rlogin.js (now v2.0) which supports simpler command-line syntax. I think if you just do the following (using the new rlogin.js), it'll do what you're wanting:

    ?rlogin myserverip -p -t xtrn=darkness

    That'll send user's alias and password on the client/connecting BBS to the RLogin Server and the "xtrn=darkness" as the terminal-type string to auto-execute the Darkness door game.

    This new rlogin.js command-line syntax is documented on the wiki now too.
