Only if there's an IGM to run it. <G>

Speaking of IGN's, Is there a document running around out there somewhere that tells how to make them? Have an idea for one, but no idea how to go about making it.

While I am not aware of one, there are a few open-source ones (in
javascript) that are distributed along with LORD-JS as a part of Synchronet.

You might be able to look at those and figure out how to change them to what you want, and they'd at least work with Synchronet's LORD.

That would be all well and good if I was still running an SBBS board. :)

Couple of things -

1. I think there are ways to make LORD-JS work on other BBSes other than Synchronet. I don't exactly know how per se (because I run Synchronet), but I know many of the modules can be run outside of Synchonet (the IRC Server, for example), I think the easiest way would be to install Synchronet just to get jsexec and then have the BBS run jsexec as a door.

2. I'd run through the stuff on http://lord.lordlegacy.com/downloads/
There were lots of LORD IGM "construction kits" back in the day. Most all of the IGMs were written in Pascal, and Seth provided the formats of the files to devs - I think lots of that stuff is still around on Lord Legacy.

Good luck-

Tom

Deuce specifically made a thing called 'jsdoor' to run LORD-JS (and LORD2-JS) under non-Synchronet BBSes. http://doors.bbsdev.net/

I think there is a shim that lets you run the SBBS JS doors on other
systems. I cannot remember what it is called, though... maybe JSDOOR?

Thanks Tom, I'll check it out.

Yes, that's exactly what it's called:
