I don't know what is going on with LORD but no answers come back
from the developer, the "This version of LordCfg is not meant for
your version of Lord" message and the "Internal error #38019" when
doing a Lord /L really suck. 4.06 works but I can't use the key I
just paid for on 4.06, only on the crapped out 4.07 both the
developer and gameport have available for download.
Solution? Run 4.06. 4.07 is a piece of crap right now and from what it loo like, will continue to be. Contact me via netmail or email and I'll get you working version of 4.06 (the same I'm running). I, too, registered LORD 4.0 and got screwed without the benefit of a reacharound.
How the hell do you get 4.07 to work in DOS when:
a - it appears the zip file was foobarred and has the wrong executables in i or b - there is a bug in the program and the developer has decided
to bail on i

well, if your issue is only linux related, and his release of lord was only meant for 'dos, then that is your fault for:
[1] using linux to run your bbs
[2] for not checking out lord 4.07 before you bought it. it IS 'try before you buy'
really, if this is only a linux issue, i dont see how the author is responsible for making the game work on a platform it wasnt designed for.
BTW, first email bounced so I'll send you my email via netmail.
Boards only been in place about a week so I'm nowhere near ready
to do Fido yet. Still have my old tossers and whanot, just not
ready to deal with figuring out how it all works under Synchronet.
think that's hard, they should try setting up Squish and Maximus-all text-ba configs :).
did you download it from http://lord.lordlegacy.com/downloads/index.php
if not, get it from there.

Especially when there is a Linux version of LORD (4.07) already ported to th platform.

Yes, from there and from gameport, neither of them work in DOSEMU, only in Windows CMD shell. For your information Windows CMD shell is NOT DOS.
Especially when there is a Linux version of LORD (4.07) already ported to platform.
Don't you think that if I could find the Linux version I'd be using it? Try the autoresponder that used to send the fiels out or try sending an email to Michael to get it. Maybe you might get a resposne but a lot of other people haven't.
Unfortunately he appears not to grasp the fact that when you contract to wor on something it is no longer a hobby. If he's not making any money on it then he negotiated a lousy contract, his fault not ours. But once a programmer contracts to continue the devleopment and maintenance of a produc it is no longer a hobby it is a responsibility. If he can't deal with it he needs to sever the contract so gameport can find a new developer.

Synchronet isn't hard to do Fido. Just follow the manual and it'll work. I one of the easier BBSes to set up Fido in, believe it or not. I ran Synchro before and I disagree with people that say it's hard to configure (if they

We can't all be Windows fanboys.

Don't expect a nice answer if you can't be unbiased when you reply. 've bee
i know people who have lord working with dosemu.

Perhaps not. But if you ask around you might find someone who does have a copy of it and is willing to share.

lord 4.07 beta for linux. took me a few minutes to get it.
it is confirmed as working, and with igms.
Its nice of you Jason to post that BETA for others to use for several reason 1. No one seems to be able to get Preslar to send them *ANY* betas of LORD i

I'm trying to keep out of this "Preslar abandoned LORD" issue, since I keep putting my foot in my mouth a lot as a result. But I just felt that the "Linux Lord works with IGMs" topic needed a response. Donald.

well that igms comment was just an after thought.
i MEANT it worked with jay's lord linux igms.
does someone have it working with regular 16 bit igms? i'm sure someone is doing it. Is it impossible to get it working with 16bit igms?
Anything is possible, but skiing through a revolving door.

I have no firsthand knowledge of the 32-bit igms situation other than for thefiles
Lord/32 game's usage of them. All of the LORD versions use the same data
names, but in different ways. They all use a 3rdparty.dat file, but only DOS
LORD and LORD/32 can actually RUN an igm that is listed in one.
DOS LORD can not run a LORD/32 igm, and vice-versa.
The structures for DOS(LORD/32).
LORD use one set of variable names and variable types, whereas LORD/32 has to
use a different set. One was designed for Turbo/Borland Pascal by Seth Robinson (DOS Lord), and the other was designed by Preslar to only work with Free Pascal v2.00, Virtual Pascal v2.19, and I think Borland Delphi
Preslar gave me instructions in June 2006 for compiling a 32-bit LORD igm, however, they don't work for me since my Windows XP system installation ofFree
Pascal v2.00 refuses to compile the Manndoor Toolkit component files.
The 3rdparty.dat file format is reversed in LORD/32 where the IGM Title line comes first, then the command line is listed. And it integrates the INFOnode
1. No one seems to be able to get Preslar to send them *ANY* betas of LORD in
the last six+ months - that I have ever heard of.
Until Michael stopped responding to email inquiries about LORD,
he personally had told me in summer 2006 that he did NOT know yet how to get Lord/X to run igms. LORD for OS/2 is unable to run igms also. You can ONLYrun
igms with DOS LORD and with LORD for Windows. If that situation has changed,I
need to know who exactly wants Linux Lord IGms, and is interested in making them.
releases, whereas mine is in inactive development due to lack of feedback on how it works.
This entire "Preslar is dead" storyline is a waste of everyone's time. I've been assured by at least two people that he is still alive. I think its time
for people to drop the "he's dead" topic.
The publicly available version of 4.07 may be called the DOS version but it won't run on it.
