Hello everybody!

I've switched to net2bbs and that's working great now. Also able to get the old MannIRC door operating again, no problems.

However the Telnet door is proving to be a challange (and that's the one I want so I can join BBSLink and be done with door game maintance).

I've made sure the RMLib is the current version and there is only one of them
on my system, when attempting to launch it via the commandline "TelnetDoor -L" (To test in local mode) the program closes and creates an "Ex.log" in the current directory:


==== Begin "ex.log" ====
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
at RandM.RMLib.Door.Startup()
at RandM.TelnetDoor.Program.Main(String[] args)

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

==== End "ex.log" ====

Any ideas where I've gone wrong? This is on Windows XP 32 bit.

i've been using both bbslink.exe and telnetdoor.exe for sometime, both are in different folders \doors\bbslink\bbslink.exe size 11,264 date 04/01/2015 RMLib.dll size 189,440 date 03/14/2015 it only shows an error.log that output System.Exception: Usage
at RandM.RMLib.RMDoor.DefaultOnUsage()
at RandM.RMLib.RMDoor.Startup()
at RandM.RMLib.RMDoor..ctor()
at ArchaicBinary.BBSlink.Program.Main(String[] args)
my run batch looks like Echo on
set host=(games.bbslink.net)
set syscode=(fluph)
set authcode=(xxxxxxxxxxxx)
set schemecode=(xxxxxxxxxxx)
bbslink.exe -W%host% -X%syscode% -Y%authcode% -Z%schemecode%
set host=
set syscode=
set authcode=
set schemecode=

I've made sure the RMLib is the current version and there is only
one of them on my system, when attempting to launch it via the
commandline "TelnetDoor -L" (To test in local mode) the program closes
and creates an "Ex.log" in the current directory:

My \doors\CBnet\telnetdoor.exe size 11,246 date 10/13/2015 is only used for combatnet league 441 and it has ex.log showing an output.. showing System.Exception: Idle Time Limit Exceeded
at RandM.RMLib.RMDoor.DefaultOnTimeOut()
at RandM.RMLib.RMDoor.DoEvents()
at RandM.RMLib.RMDoor.KeyPressed()
at RandM.TelnetDoor.Program.Connect()
at RandM.TelnetDoor.Program.Main(String[] args)

The RMLib.dll size 197,632 date 10/13/15 also my mystic stuff shows

Both the bbslink.exe and the telnetdoor.exe work great over here in WINXP SP3. Not really sure why your is having issues tiny. I do think the both are the same program using the same RMlib maybe someone just renamed telnetdoor to bbslink plus i thing mine are different version builds of the same software.

I'll keep at it. :) I'm sure it's just a system setting somewhere as this is
a pretty old windows XP install.

i don't think they can simply be renames but it is possible... i think the key is different folders and different dlls... if they are the same, perhaps it is the different version builds that's the difference i spotted... if that's the case, then the author would be the one that renamed them, right?

\doors\bbslink\bbslink.exe size 11,264 date 04/01/2015
RMLib.dll size 189,440 date 03/14/2015

\doors\CBnet\telnetdoor.exe size 11,246 date 10/13/2015
RMLib.dll size 197,632 date 10/13/15

11264 - 11246 = 18 bytes difference between telenetdoor.exe and bbslink.exe with bbslink being the larger and older...

197632 - 189440 = 8192 bytes difference between the two RMLib.dlls with the telnetdoor one being both larger and newer...

i note also the specifying of the information is done differently with one seemingly having () around each parameter and the other not... comparing the two shows the different formats as well as the different command line parameters being fed to the programs... -X and -Y are certainly used differently...

set host=(games.bbslink.net)
set syscode=(fluph)
set authcode=(xxxxxxxxxxxx)
set schemecode=(xxxxxxxxxxx)
bbslink.exe -W%host% -X%syscode% -Y%authcode% -Z%schemecode%

set BBSNAME=XXXXXX
set PASSCODE=XXXXXXX
set SERVER=server.name.net
set PORT=XXXX
set DROPFILE=%1%DROPTYPE%
TelnetDoor -D%DROPFILE% -R -S%SERVER% -P%PORT% -Y%BBSNAME%%2 -X%PASSCODE%
