• Interstellar Annihilation

    From Thumper@1:218/602 to ALL on Wednesday, October 05, 2022 09:30:00
    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:

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

    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
