  • Game Server Question

    From Rick V@VERT to Digital Man on Thursday, May 08, 2025 08:50:06
    Hello Digital Man.
    My Modopts.ini -

    ; Set rlogin_xtrn_menu to true if you want your RLogin server to act as a door game server only
    rlogin_xtrn_menu = false
    ; Set rlogin_auto_xtrn to true if you want your RLogin server to support direct-to-door request
    ; (e.g. Web Externals)
    rlogin_auto_xtrn = True

    My Rlogin is 192.1687.0.2368 -d games
    I get this error -

    Thu May 8 06:29:18 2025 HEAD/c97145bc
    term Node 1 <Rick V> !JavaScript C:\sbbs\exec\logon.js line 67: Error: Invalid external program specified

    When I change my Rlogin to go into a specific game -
    192.168.0.238 -d doorprty
    It goes right into Doorparty.

    Is it not possible to go to the "games" and display all my games?

    I don't recoginize that as a valid IP address or rlogin command-line. What rlogin client is this? What does the '-d' option do?

    I get this error -

    Yes, it is possible. The client has to specify "xtrn_sec=games" in the terminal field in that case. I don't know what rlogin client you're using, so I can't really tell you how to achieve that from the client side.
