    Anyone have the door settings for this doorgame?

    Try this:

    Command D3
    CD<C:\Doors\LEGION>LEGION.EXE -D %PDOOR32.SYS -N %N

    Replace the directory in <> with wherever you have installed the game but do include the brackets. Do not insert a space between %P and DOOR32.SYS.

    I'm running it on Ele/32, but whenever I go the the tavern and try to look at the legion scrolls, it crashes and doesn't recover, bringing that whole node down and not letting that user back in until I correct it. Because of that, it's disabled for now. Anyone else having that happen?

    I am running it on my Synchronet BBS on linux. Although not at that
    particular juncture, I have at times had it crash and drop my connection.

    My first thought was file corruption. But I tried corrupting the "SCROLL.DAT" file all sorts of ways and it just gets re-written. Maybe try deleting or renaming the file in the \Data subdirectory if nothing else works.

    I was, however, able to get the game to crash while trying to read the scrolls each and every time if the file exists and can't be opened read/write. Double check your file permissions to see if something odd has made its way in there.

    I just tried it here (Synchronet on Win32), and it definitely crashes the game with a "legion.exe has stopped working" error message. I then have to click OK on the message in order to unlock the node, same as you. I've gone ahead and removed the game since I don't want it happening when I'm away.

    Looks like a bug to me. The game is (or at least was) in active developement through Phenom Productions (https://www.phenomprod.com/Doors). However, the author's own site & BBS seem to be down (http://vintagebbsing.com/legion.ssjs), hopefully temporarily.

    That worked. It no longer crashes. When I read the scrolls, there is some garbage at the top of the screen, but they display properly other than that. For people having a problem with reading the legion scrolls in the tavern,
    try this and it should be stable!
