• Buccaneer Door Game...

    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Sunday, March 10, 2024 22:53:00
    Could someone zip up a working directory for me? I'd like to see if for some reason my game isn't creating the necessary files and not just choking on the buck.cfg file. It's not the drop files, I'm using /L and it still gives me
    an RTE100 error right after entering my user name and security level. It creates its own dorinfo1.def file in its directory correctly. This is NOT an RTE200 issue, it has something to do with the game reading a file past its
    end. I've got the stock buck.cfg (and have added C:\ELE\NODE1\ to the first line) and have even added an additional blank line to the end of that file. This is really frustrating and I, yet again, appear to be the only one
    having a problem...

    Did you figure this out already or did anybody provide a zip of their working directory?

    I have BUCK-AM.ZIP in my 'new files' area (#1) on my BBS at another.tel - I zipped up the existing Buccaneer directory from my BBS. I am starting the door by calling START.BAT <node #> the node # is just used with a program to set the user's status on my BBS (Buccaneer doesn't need the node #). Buccaneer itself is running with 'buck210 /n'.

    I included a DORINFO1.DEF file in BUCK-AM.ZIP, this is the dropfile created by my BBS, usually it is in C:\BBS\MAX\ (this is where BUCK.CFG points). I have the Buccaneer files in D:\BBS\BUCK\.

    Thanks, I'll grab that and see if it helps!

    Odd. I was hoping it was something that wasn't being created, but if this is from an existing game, I'm still getting RTE100 after entering my username
    and security level from BUCK210 /L

    That's a copy of an existing game running on my BBS - complete with active players and my sunken ship. :)

    So strange that this game is giving you so much trouble! I haven't been able to recreate that error on my system either (DOSBox-X).

    If your system didn't work with akacastor's working setup, that makes me
    think it is something with your setup. What OS are you trying to run it
    under? I have it working here in a linux 3.x VM running dosemu.
