Well at first, I was installing it in Windows, and after configuring it all up it wouldn't send or receive network echos. Kept giving me a unzip error, NuSkooler made mention that it might be a Windows issue to try Linux.. Trust me I am no Linux pro! I get the bug to do away with
Windows everyt once in a while and install Linux in a VM play with it
for 10 minutes say I am crazy and go back to windows! I installed
Ubuntu, followed his instructions for a manual install and was up and running but still having network issues. I put my config.hjson on
wastebin or pastebin whatever it is called and he asked me what I was using to edit it? Notepad++ of course! He then asked if I was using the HJSON plug in? Huh??? LOL I started over from scratch, downloaded Visual Studio and edited it with that in Linux and bam! Works like a charm, having some issues where some echos don't seem to hook up but I will figure it out..
Ahh yes, that was a good spot by NuSkooler, yeah Notepad++ and other Windowsy editors I think put hidden characters in the files, if you enable the show
all characters thing (i forgot what it's actually labelled as) they probably are the little ^M you see at the end of all lines. I think that's what caused it to go wangy, or another hidden character somewhere. Nice job getting that resolved.
As for the software, I'm liking it! I am going to dumb down the graphics this week because I suck at graphics and put it online for all to make
fun of my new BBS probably next week. It's up now but I haven't
advertised it. I like being in on the ground floor of something. Reminds
When you get it advertised lemme know so I can have a nosey =)
me of my days when I beta tested for Symantec, when I think it was
called Norton One first came out, the first beta was horrible!! I threw some pointers to the head of that beta and he relayed it to the writers and the 2nd beta was a lot better.. So I don't mind things that don't
Wow cool! I remember Norton stuffs, I think Norton change directory and
Norton defrag were the first things I used of theirs back in the day. I used
to enjoy watching the little characters flashing across the screen while
Norton defragged my hard disk, I don't miss those days though haha!
work or things that don't exist (killing messages in the message bases) but it's cool. I am not installing doors, I hooked up to the big ones
and added my own (I have a door server with about 50 doors so far) and I am not doing the File Base, so I set the File option to go straight to
my File Server which has about 13 CD's and a ton of Commodore/Amiga stuff... Anyways, this message is dragging on..
Sounds like you have some awesome projects, the CD's definitely will add a
lot of good stuff, I should think about putting more on my ENiGMA 1/2 board,
I don't really use it much at all.
I made it as I was intrigued on how to install it and configure one, did
that, used it a little, but Mystsic is my daily driver so to speak. I occasionally use the ENiGMA board for MRC... but mostly it's just sitting
there waiting for the odd caller to come see. It's totally stock too, but I kinda really enjoy it's stock look.
