I added a new Door game today to the BBS. When I load the Door the ansi doesn't load unless i hit "enter". I have to keep hitting enter for the whole ansi to load. A few lines of the ansi will load at a time when I hit "enter" Anyone know why this would be happening?
Hmmmm. What door game is it and... maybe I could come by and SEE. Its so hard to try and diagnose an issue, for me, without seeing it.
Why the heck would that happen tho - does the door use any software to talk to Mystic??

Paulie, If you go to the "Fun Section" on Lunatics and type "4" you'll
get to the door. It's a Putt Putt game. It's a hidden menu option. once
it loads the screen will be blank. Hit "enter" and some of the ansi will load. Each time you hit "enter" more of the ansi will load. I dod notice that if I give it time it will load on it's own but only a few lines at
a time and it takes forever.
It's uses NetFoss as the fossil. Other than that its just a menu command that loads a .bat file
Hmmm - well, it seems like you got it working??? Or, anyway; when I
pulled the door up it displayed the ANSI correctly. Lemme go test again, I'm logged into Lunatics right now...
Lol, well - it seems to be hanging after I exit the game and before Lunatics loads back up again. BUT the game did display correctly and I took a putt...

Wall E. Weasel helped me with this. He did get it to load and run, but like you said it hangs when you exit the door. Wall E. really dug in to this. His conclusion was that the door is using both FOSSIL and UART so
we used DOSEXTRN and got it to work. But something with ansi.com after
you exit the door is creating problems. So I will probably half to just deal with the ansi loading by hitting "Enter" numerous times.
Wall E. Weasel really helped me out a lot on this one. Spent hours with
me on the board to try and figure it out. Even though this is beyond my tech knowledge, I learn a few things.

Hi cozmo, I had a game do that to me as well it was ShadowBoard. I was using netfoss at he time to load the game, it never worked right. I then started loading my games with (DX) DOSXTRN instead of (DD) and the game loaded fine.
I assumed the fault was with netfoss. If you want to see my setup let me know.
Thanks Ratz. Wall E. Weasel was working on the problem with me. We did change to (DX) DOSXTRN. But started having problems with the game crashing. It was a little bit more involved than that. It's a bit above
my tech knowledge. But everthing is working great now. Wall E. Weasel could explain it better than me.
Paulie, I moved it to Local section of the Game Room. Give it a try. Take alittle bit to get the hang of it. The golf ball also moves kind of fast because its an older door. But it's a fun game.
