• Arrorbridge is will not load using emudos

    From plt@VERT/SBBS to All on Thu Nov 26 02:55:24 2020
    Hello

    I am having a issue with trying to get arrowbridge to run under emudos. I would like to try and use both the command line and a
    batch file to load the doors in case the cmd does not work


    Command Line being used ab.bat

    /sbbs/xtrn/doors/test$ more ab.bat
    c:\xoo
    c:\ansi
    cd e:\doors\test
    bnu.com /L0:57600,9N1 /f
    ABRIDGE /LOCKED=38400 /NODE%SBBSNNUM% /P%SBBSNODE%
    c:\xoo
    c:\ansi
    cd e:\doors\test
    bnu.com /L0:57600,9N1 /f
    ABRIDGE /LOCKED=38400 /NODE%SBBSNNUM% /P%SBBSNODE%

    I also tried using for the command line ab.bat but it tries to run, blank screen and returns back to the door menu.

    cd e:\doors\test

    You do realize that trying to cd to e:\doors\test is the equivalent of /sbbs/xtrn/doors/test/doors/test right?
    E:\ in this case = /sbbs/xtrn/doors/test

    From the wiki: http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:dosemu
    E: - Under this drive, the parent of the door's startup directory will be mounted. Example: E:\LORD

    I didn't even look at the rest, tbh.

    In Linux

    mkdir /sbbs/xtrn/arrow
    cd /sbbs/xtrn/arrow
    drop ab1v140.zip (That's the version I found anyway)
    unzip ab1v140.zip

    Now you need to run DOSEMU to configure the game

    /usr/bin/env QUIET=1 HOME=/sbbs/ctrl/ DOSDRIVE_D=/sbbs/node1/ /usr/bin/dosemu.bin -f/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf

    WHen it's running, paste all these lines to be nice and safe.

    set DSZLOG=D:\PROTOCOL.LOG
    set SBBSNODE=D:
    set SBBSNNUM=1
    set SBBSCTRL=F:
    set SBBSDATA=G:
    set SBBSEXEC=H:
    set PCBNODE=1
    set PCBDRIVE=D:
    set PCBDIR=\
    lredir E: linux\fs\sbbs
    lredir F: linux\fs\sbbs\ctrl
    lredir G: linux\fs\sbbs\data
    lredir H: linux\fs\sbbs\exec
    E:
    cd \arrow

    Now you'll run the setup tools.

    ABTOOLS SETUP
    Menu option B. Enter A & B and select 1 for D
    Menu option P. enter E:\ARROW for option A
    Menu option G. Change the season y/n to your liking
    Save changes

    Now create the game files with

    ABTOOLS CREATE

    You're done, you can exit with exitemu

    Now run scfg and configure your game accordingly.

    16: BBS Drop File Type GAP door.sys
    17: Place Drop File In Node Directory
    18: Time Options...

    For the drop file, it doesn't matter if you use realname or not and upper or lower case, though it's usually best to stick with one. I usually make mine lowercase since that's linux, and DOS can still read it.

    Save and recycle. Enjoy.

    Oh, you may need a fossel driver but I think I saw you loaded one, so you should be good to go.

    Imagine trying to start a car by sticking the key in the trunk...
