linux is kinda beyond me, looks like all the exe are .js files. The wiki is confusing as Ive come into this with a prebuilt BBS in Linux and dont know hoe much is installed already as far as DOSEMU goes atleast.
oad/7-bbs/57-space-q uest-2112, or in my BBS Files section at outland.synchronetbbs.org.
I just dont know much about DOSEMU to even start. The BBS came pre-installed with a bunch of games all that look to be running with .js extensions. I was able to get it extracted into a squest folder in my sbbs/doors but I read that most get installed in the sbbs/xtrn folder. I can get as far as that but then running the setup.exe and configuring the multiple .exe files in linux is kinda beyond me, looks like all the exe are .js files.

Reading the documentation, Space Quest provides its own FOSSIL driver which is going to cause an issue. To test, it would work using neither FOSSIL or UART and it looks crap when using Standard. It displays the dosemu startup text and the graphics are all out.

that's why you should run a system at home and get it working and then upload it to your host.
do you even have shell access? can you even check what packages are installed and can you install whatever you need? really you should talk with marissa about this stuff.
Re: Anyone want to get this DOS DOOR working in Linux for m
I create a /sbbs/bin directory and put it in my path. It's useful for dumping any non js scripts that you might want to run and keep them separate from the sbbs system itself.
I setup a script de (for dos environment).does the script get an extension .something, i forgot.
I create a /sbbs/bin directory and put it in my path. It's useful forim not sure if you are refering to a autoexec.bat path or some linux path, sorry :( i havent really explored too to much about the server the bbs is running on.

I asked around at Door Party and BBS-Link but havent heard back on it, which is understandable to be honest and I dont get many callers after my initial friends and family lol. But I really want to get SPACE QUEST 2112 working and I really dont know where to begin to even learn how to do it.

With assistance from Nightfox, I was able to get dosemu2 working with Space Quest, also TW2002 works fine, and Yankee Trader, which was having issues. I'm sure it still doesn't display properly but it's getting there.
SQ2112GS is typically a win32 application that runs as a server in the background. Wine should be able to handle it, then you telnet to that port locally. I know there is a dos version as well, but I've not ran that, so this may or may not be of any help.

wOW! Thats exciting, nice job!
I havent had time to set up the environment from your lasy message yet, but I will work on that this weekend. Linux scripts has .sh as the extension right?
Can you elaborate on where I would put the path? Is that a DOSEMU path or Linux path? sorry.
Linux paths have forward slashes, dos paths have backslases, I think I explained that already. You'd put it in your .profile or .bashrc or whatever your using for a shell.

If you want to give this a go, please give it a try
https://www.endofthelinebbs.com/dosemu2.txt
It'd be interesting to see if you can follow the instructions and if the end result is that it works for you. It sounds like you have dosemu2 installed
so why do you have a different entire drive for these
paths?
D: is /sbbs/node1
E: is /sbbs/xtrn
F: is /sbbs/ctrl
G: is /sbbs/data
H: is /sbbs/exec

From my understanding, that's normally how dosemu works.. In order to access a directory on the host OS from dosemu, it has to be mapped to a drive letter.

you cant access sub dirs? that's really stupid if that's true.
i played around with dosemu many years ago but can't remember anything.

You can access subdirs. In the examples of how to set up dosemu for Synchronet, I just tend to see it set up that way. I guess I'm not entirely sure why.

i'd rather use dosbox emulation.
As for why every single sbbs subdir is a different drive letter, you'd have to ask the original author of the Synchronet DOSemu patch, runderwo: http://www.icequake.net/bbs/syncmods/
DOSbox adds a lot of limitations on DOS door support.
