Hi Andrew,

I'm forking the thread here, hope you don't mind. I worked out how to get it running with Synchronet. I started reliving my BBS days with Mystic but found Synchronet filled my needs differently.

Feel free to toss this in your Readme. I can email you the text file if it'll be easier to copy/paste.

-+- Synchronet setup ---
Unzip to Synchronet BBS xtrn directory, e.g.:
C:\sbbs\xtrn\galdyn2

-[START.BAT]-------------------------------------
@echo off
C:
cd \sbbs\xtrn\galdyn2
GalacticDynasty2.exe %1

-------------------------------------------------
Configure door menu item:

Open SCFG >
External Programs >
Online Programs (Doors) >
[menu of choice] >
Available Online Programs... >
press <END> to go to blank space >
press <ENTER>

Fill prompts:
Online Program Name: Galactic Dynasty 2
Internal Code: GD2

Press <ENTER> on new menu entry and fill fields accordingly.

Press <ESC> until all the way out of the menu systems, and it will prompt to save.
Exit SCFG, and if logged into board, log out.
Wait a few minutes before logging in for cached Command Shell session to clear.

Take care,

Thankyou!

If you have any issues with the game, please let me know. I sent you a
message with my email address in it also.

Just so you know, the most recent version of Galactic Dynasty (and
Galactic Dynasty 2) no longer use the -D before the drop file.

So, that line would be

GalacticDynasty%. %f

Start-up Directory ../xtrn/GalacticDynasty

line of the day.. mystic doesn't (1) have this feature and it drives me bonkers. i end up with a line like:

c:\mystic\netfoss\nf.bat /N%3 /H%0 c:\mystic\doors\123\123.bat %3

.. and 123.bat hast to switch to c:\mystic\doors\123

it's .. bonkers. again.

(1) the docs aren't great so this feature MIGHT be in there somewhere. just not in the wiki, nor in mystic.txt. perhaps in a echo somewhere long lost.

Okay, cool. What version number for Galactic Dynasty would that be? I guess I need to upgrade.

Are you including an install-xtrn.ini file now? That should make it a piece of cake for Synchronet-sysops to install correctly and quickly.

Yes, there is one in the repo. You sent it to me :) I edited it for the
new syntax, hopefully I didn't break it :)

I don't know about this making things easy for sysops :P it should be
hard! Isn't figuring it out half the fun?? (J/K)
