I run Mystic BBS on a Windows XP system.
I do not know what is required to run this as a door...
Do I copy the drop files from the BBS into the Door Directory before starting? Are there any Parameters I need? How does this work with other BBS's?
I just do not know how to implement this...

If it's Not a door game... then I'm barking up the wrong tree and should go hide back in my cave...

I guess I'm just looking for a little insight...

Many Thanks and please forgive the n00b questions...

Sorry, I really need to write some documentation :)

You need to write a batch file that you call from mystic that changes
the working directory to the galactic dynasty directory, and calls
galactic dynasty something like this (I'm going to use %N for node, I
don't know what the correct argument is in mystic, you may need to
change it)

Batch file:

@echo off
cd \path\to\galacticdynasty
GalacticDynasty -D C:\Mystic\Dropfiles\Node%1\door32.sys

Now you would call galactic dynasty:

C:\path\to\batchfile.bat %N

Please note, this is just an example, in mystic you will need to change
the path to drop file to the correct one and the %N to whatever switch
means node number in mystic.

If someone more familiar with mystic wants to write up an instructions
text file I would be more than happy to include it in the distribution :)

Here is what I have setup running Mystic under Windows.

(D3) Exec DOOR32 program
c:\bbs\doors\gdyn\start.bat %P\door32.sys %3 %0

%P - passes the node temporary directory for dropfiles
%3 - passes the node number
%0 - passes the socket handle on Windows (I added this due to an issue)

The batch file that I'm using is simply:

c:
cd \bbs\doors\gdyn\
galacticdynasty.exe -D %1 -N %2 -SOCKET %3

Hope this helps some people out a bit.

That's great :) Do you mind if I copy and past your email and put it in
a mystic.txt file in the distribution?

Not a problem. You could probably leave the -SOCKET off of it, as I don't
think it would be needed for everyone.
