To connect to goldmine bbs door server
Name or IP may be used:
goldminedoors.com 143.198.58.173
Port 2513 must be specified.
Use rlogin in external program definition
[tag] is a unique 3-character tag that identifies
your bbs when your users connect.
This will get you to the main menu
?rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 -s [tag]%A -c %A
?rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 -s [tag]%A -c %A
Hello Errol (and anyone else)... The above command line gets me to the main menu of the door server, but the %A part doesn't put in the username. It just displays the "current gamer" as [tag]%A. The %A isn't being "expanded" to a user name. Can you check/clarify that?
I'm able to get to the main menu just fine, and play the doors, with
just the command line:
?rlogin 143.198.58.173:2513 -p
But... this doesn't show the [tag] in front of the user name
displayed. I'm not sure how important that is, but it seems that most others who are logging in have that working. So, what command line
are you Synchronet BBS operators using to connect to the Gold Mine
server?

I believe it is working for me; I think I may also have -q on my
command line now.
Just logged in and my tag is displayed in front of my user name. At top
of menu on Gold Mine.
I know there was working rlogin to add some arguments, so don't know if
I have a later version of the rlogin.js I keep things pretty updated.
Aug 17 th is the date on my rlogin module.

Are you using Synchronet w/Windows? I haven't documented that, so would
be great to add to goldminebbs.com documentation site once we have a working example. I'm running Linux and i use an .sh script to grab the user name directly from the dropfile (e.g. pass the node number):
#!/bin/bash
# Get the node number and door code from the arguments passed NODE_NUMBER=$1
BBS="TAG" # Change this to your tag
DOOR_CODE=$2
# Define the path to the sbbs DOOR32.SYS file DOOR32_SYS_PATH=/sbbs/node${NODE_NUMBER}/DOOR32.SYS
# Extract the alias from line 7
USER_ALIAS=$(sed -n '7p'
"$DOOR32_SYS_PATH" | tr ' ' '-') # replace spaces
# Run the rsh-redone-client command
if [ -n "$DOOR_CODE" ]; then
TERM_PARAM="xtrn=$DOOR_CODE"
TERM=$TERM_PARAM rlogin -p 2513 -l "$USER_ALIAS" goldminedoors.com else
rlogin -p 2513 -l "$USER_ALIAS" goldminedoors.com
fi
I update fairly often too, my rlogin.js is dated Aug 10. Not likely to
be the issue here.
Are you on Windows? I'm on Linux and wonder if that might have an
effect.
Re: Re: GoldMine - Connecting from Synchronet BBSI said -A I mean -s. Looking at gitlab 8/10 was when -s and -S were added
Okay, but I doubt anyone else is doing that, and they have a [TAG] displayed in front of their Username. Just wondering why mine isn't working, and what other (Synchronet) users are using for their command line...
Is the [TAG] importaint in some way? Do you care if it's included in
the user's login?

Re: Re: GoldMine - Connecting from Synchronet BBS
I said -A I mean -s. Looking at gitlab 8/10 was when -s and -S were
added to telgate and/or rlogin.
So you check and confirm that your code has that option since it was
added on the same date, you said your file was modified. Or hopefully
you do have it, but something to check.
Let me know if I can test anything else for you...

Goldmine requires you send [TAG] from whatever BBS system you use ("require" is used loosley here as I don't prevent you from connecting, but it helps identifies what BBS you and your users are connecting
from).

Yeah, it creates a uniformity in terms of stats. I purposely set it up
as an "open" system and I don't require sign ups or approvals, I don't lock down by IP address, etc. I'm sure there's a native sbbs solution,
but the code i posted does work for sbbs w/linnux.
Happy to help in whatever way!
