I am trying to run stacken using Dosemu using the current version of Mystic running on the current version of debian. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue please?




Command -> S
Note that DOS needs 25 lines. You might want to enlarge your
window before continuing.

Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU or <Ctrl>C to cancel

I am using this to run the door

dosemu -t -I"serial { com 1 virtual }"
"/mystic/doors/stackem/stackem.bat" %3 /DOS

I'm using almost the exact command line for dosemu under Debian. The only difference, is I don't have the -t in mine.

I don't have the game Stackem running here, but if I get a chance, I'll give
it a shot.

Stackem.bat file

c:
c:\X00\xu port:%1:on
cd d:\doors\stackem
stackem.exe STACKEM.CFG \temp%1\doors.sys
c:
cd X00
xu port:%1:off

I'm using bnu here, and in my batch files, I just run 'bnu' from inside my doors directory.

I don't remember why, but I do remember having to change to the drive on one line, then change the directory, such as:

d:
cd doors\stackem\

I'm not sure if that helps much...

dosemu -t -I"serial { com 1 virtual }" "/mystic/doors/stackem/stackem.bat" %3 /DOS

I removed the -t and how do I stop this annoying message from being displayed please?

I haven't seen that one before. I'm really not sure what to tell you...

You might want to take a look at your dosemu.conf file, and see if there is a setting in there to force the window size to 25 lines. That's about all I can think of, off the top of my head...

You need to precede your dosemu command with stty cols 80 rows 25. So your command should look like this:

stty cols 80 rows 25 && dosemu -I"serial { com 1 virtual }" "game.bat %3" /DOS

There is setting but I am not which one to use or what to change it to?

# initial size factor for video mode 0x13 (320x200)

# $_X_mode13fact = (2)

# "x,y" of initial windows size (defaults to ""=float)

# $_X_winsize = ""

look at my paste link for my myemu script in the other echo where you posted...

do not use a FOSSIL if you do not have to...


@echo off
CD \doors\stackem
stackem stackem.cfg d:\temp%1\door.sys


[edit]
here's the paste link again so others can also have easy access to the script...

Question do you have any in your dosemu.conf for the display size?

put it in your script as you have already been pointed to numerous times... you
have even been pointed to a working script to execute your DOS doors via... it operates in similar fashion to those door usage stats tools and one can use the
log from the script to create door usage stats...

I am stuck on trying to get any door to work with dosemu and the current version of Mystic BBs running under Linux. Can someone please give me a
example of there menus, dosemu configs and the your batch files so I can use them was a example to see what the issue is?

Thanks

Hi Phil,

I'll go through my setup that I have here for Arrowbridge, as that was the first one listed in my Games menu. :)

Mystic is set to:
Command
(DD) Exec external program
Data
dosemu -I"serial { com 1 virtual }" "d:\doors\ab.bat %3" %3 /DOS

Sorry, the wordwrap wasn't liking the data line, so I put it on its own line.

ab.bat
d:
cd \doors\
bnu
cd \doors\ab\
abridge.exe /LOCKED=38400 /NODE%1 /Pd:\mystic\temp%1\

As for dosemu, I'm running it stock on my system.

For my directory structure, I have Mystic installed in my home directory ~/mystic. The doors are all located in ~/doors, and I have bnu in ~/doors. I just run that before the door, if needed.

My dosemu autoexec.bat file looks like:

@echo off
rem autoexec.bat for DOSEMU + FreeDOS
path z:\bin;z:\gnu;z:\dosemu;d:\path
set HELPPATH=z:\help
set TEMP=c:\tmp
rem blaster
prompt $P$G
unix -s DOSDRIVE_D
if "%DOSDRIVE_D%" == "" goto nodrived
lredir del d: > nul
lredir d: linux\fs%DOSDRIVE_D%
SET PKUNZIP=-)
:nodrived
rem uncomment to load another bitmap font
rem loadhi display con=(vga,437,2)
rem mode con codepage prepare=((850) z:\cpi\ega.cpx)
rem mode con codepage select 850
rem chcp 850
rem lredir e: linux\fs/media/cdrom c
unix -s DOSEMU_VERSION
echo "Welcome to dosemu %DOSEMU_VERSION%!"
unix -e
share
d:\doors\bnu.com /L0:57600,8N1 /F

and my dosemu config.sys:

rem config.sys for DOSEMU + FreeDOS
rem note that the initial "D:" is set to "Z:" at the end
SWITCHES=/F
DOS=UMB,HIGH
dosdata=umb
lastdrive=Z
files=200
stacks=0
buffers=99
device=d:\dosemu\ems.sys d:\doors\bnu.sys
install=d:\dosemu\lredir.com z: linux\fs\${DOSEMU_LIB_DIR}/drive_z ro shellhigh=z:\command.com /e:1024 /p

Hope this helps...
