Re: Totally Confused...

I added that and it still does the same thing. I gave up and am
using
an
external server. This was quite unpleasant. I followed the
instructions
to the letter and it didn't work as stated.
I agree: you've been quite unpleasant to deal with. Good riddance.

Have you never dealt with a neuro-divergent individual?
Of course I have.
We can be difficult, but we totally mean well. Our brains don't work like normal people's, we don't think coherently or cohesively,
but we can be highly intelligent. That's the only way we remain semi-lucid. I didn't mean to cause you difficulty, I just don't
deal well when things don't work the way they
are
supposed to. In my case, it's the new user procedure that needs to be disabled. Every time I connect, it's as a new user and the real name
isn't
accepted as the same as the handle (sbbs simply reports that it's
either a
dupe or invalid) as I think it's only 1 word.
And I told you how to disable that real name prompt.
Ok, I just went through every message from you to me and didn't see that.
Could you please tell me again?
If you connect a second time with the same name, that wouldn't be another new user either, so "every time" sounds incorrect as well.
It is forcing me to create a new user each time I connect because the real
name is invalid or duplicate. It doesn't say which. I have multiple users with the same handle and different real names... That on it's own is confusing.
I'd love to be able to get this to work, but until then I'll be semi-satisfied with using the anet online game server for individual games.
Cool. I've never heard of it. Looks like it's running Synchronet: a-net-online.lol -- digital man (rob)
Yep, he's got it working so I can use that until I can manage this. I would love to work with you on this and will try to calm down my idiosynchracies (sorry I couldn't remember how to spell that) so that I'm easier to deal
with. He spent about 2 years to get his to the state that it's at. Rob
McGee (x-bit) also has a game server. His just asks for username and
location as well as mouse reporting and ansi on new user connection. I was hoping to get to that state. Exodus also has one set up so that people can access sbbs games from his Renegade. If that many people can use it, it shouldn't be as difficult as I've experienced. Perhaps they all used a newer version. I just went to the synchronet website, which seemed the logical
place to get the latest version. I did read the game server wiki (thanks to Stringray for pointing me to that) and follow it's instructions before I had
my melt-down.
