Hello everyone!

Question anyone running Galactic Dynasty on SBBS?

Sure would like to know the config for it. Only reason being I play it a lot.

It (Galactic Dynasty 1.0-dev) was pretty easy to install:

Name Galactic Dynasty
Internal Code GALACTIC
Start-up Directory ../xtrn/GalacticDynasty
Command Line GalacticDynasty%. -D %f
Clean-up Command Line
Execution Cost None
Access Requirements
Execution Requirements
Multiple Concurrent Users Yes
Intercept I/O No
Native Executable Yes
Use Shell to Execute No
Modify User Data No
Execute on Event No
Pause After Execution No
BBS Drop File Type Mystic DOOR32.SYS
Place Drop File In Node Directory

This configuration works for both Win32 and Linux Synchronet installs.

However (Apam, are you here?) if you run both OSes (as I do, with Vertrauen) for
some reason the user's created on the Win32 instances aren't seen/reused on the
Linux instances, even though both users appear in the created "users.db3" file.

Hey, thanks. funny thing - I setup a synchronet BBS yesterday and hooked

For those active nodes please look for a BBS.CFG in your inbound and update
to this new version. I have added notes to the file so we can track changes.

Hi all.

I have been working on adding Jan and UnderZaNet to the inter-league game.

There is a new BBS.CFG file being sent to you that should land in your inbox, please drop this in to your GD directory

Jan. You need to create a file box for the 21:1/10 echonode so packets placed in there by GD will be sent to the 1/10 HUB for processing.

You also need to set your galactic.ini file as follows

[snip]


[Main]
Turns Per Day = 20
Turns In Protection = 60
Log Path = c:\path\to\your\galactic\logs

[Interbbs]
Enabled = true
System Name = UnderZaNet BBS (21:2/108)
League Number = 21
Node Number = 5
File Inbox = c:\pathto\mystic\echomail\in
Default Outbox = c:\pathto\oubound\filebox\

[snip]

Andrew can correct me if I'm wrong.

You will also need to run maintenance on a regular basis.. check the docs for more info and/or sing out for help here and the guys will guide you :)

e.g. GalacticDynasty.exe maintenance

For now there will be GD game packets being created at 1/10 HUB for your
system but I will set them to HOLD so they will only come across to your BBS when you poll. I can CRASH them when you give the word.

Best, Paul

Ah small problem with that BBS.cfg you sent out,

You left the outboxes in it. not a biggie but we'll have to remove them for it to work, else we'll have to set up fileboxes for each node like the hub.

Hmm did I copy the wrong one?

Yep I did, whoops... have resent the correct one now.

Hehe, sounds like something I would do :D

BTW, I think this will be the first test of adding someone to an already running game with the new game_id code. Hopefully it will work! I have a
few ideas what might go wrong and if they do how to solve them, but as
long as no one is making packets with incorrect game_ids, it should got according to plan.

Welcome to the ongoing test, err, i mean game :)

OK coolio, let's give it a whirl.

I'm not sure what versions folks are running right now but from memory the inter-BBS version is build 100

Perhaps it's time to update soon?

Perhaps it's time to update soon?

Possibly, I just made some really big changes with sprockets and ore
instead of money for industrial and ore planets.

While I'm pretty keen to, and it seems to be working, maybe a few more
days just to see how the testing goes.

So far I'm liking the changes as it seems to make the game more
challenging, so you don't get tonnes of money anymore.

I've got the correct on in place here. :)

You also need to set your galactic.ini file as follows

Log Path = c:\path\to\your\galactic\logs

I'm glad you posted this. I didn't have that line in my galactic.ini file.
When I would upgrade the game, I would copy mine into the directory, so I wouldn't have to edit it again... :)

Somehow I missed that one... :) It is a great idea. The log files can get a
bit 'out of hand'...

Andrew is just an awesome, all-around guy! I just wish I had a portion of the programming knowledge he did... (and ANSI talent...) ;)

Yeah, Paul's good at coming up with ideas :) The log path is actually
optional, if it's commented out or not there it will just dump log files
in the current directory like it used to.

*blush* well thankyou. speaking of ansis did you get the one I sent you?
not sure if it worked as it might have been while your bbs was doing
strange things.

He really is good at it. :) As soon as I saw the message Paul posted, I added it to my galactic.ini file. There really are a lot of log files created...

Yes, I did get it. Thank you! I've never had someone make an ANSI screen for
me before... :)

Yeah, I make a new one each day, I did that on Magicka because they get
rather long with the built in webserver logging everything that's
accessed, and having them split up by day seemed to help find things. I
just copied the log code to galactic dynasty, which doesn't log as much,
I could switch it to use a single log file.

Yes, I did get it. Thank you! I've never had someone make an ANSI screen for me before... :)

Oh cool. I have to think up some more ansis to draw, I'm just doing it to practice, I did one for you, gary and paul. I get a bit nervous making
them for others, because I wonder if they might think that I think they
need new ansis (which I don't) They probably don't but I tend to over
think things a lot lol.

Avon,

I am under the impression that Galactic Dynasty is now a part of fsxNet (or at least support) and the game has gone InterBBSing. Is this correct? Pardon me, I have not been following along as I should be. It is very interesting that apam got his game to work InterBBSingly <g>. I too, at some would like my door game Legion RPG to support IBBS. Any leads would be great.

Hi Jon

I wrote up an article on fsx wiki a little while ago that sort of goes over what I did in galactic dynasty. There's no code in the article but you can always grab the galactic dynasty source off github if you want to see how it works closely.

the article is here:
