• MRC for Renegade

    Someone should make MRC for Renegade so that Lux doesn't have to chat on somebody else's server. :P LoL j/k.

    This is the second one of these I've seen on this net. Anyone know what is killing these messages before they go out? The other was in the text adventure base.

    Yeah. <G> It's to keep people focused. Actually, it's just MRC being RLOGON'd to a mystic setup with only one command. Which I would LOVE to get rid of if someone would port this door to door.sys or door32.sys.

    It's not a door. It's a mod. All of the implementations of it ties directly with the BBS software. I'll see if anyone from Phenom feels ambitious enough to
    create a door version that runs on win32.

    As long as they make it console screen ... I hate how some of those Win32 doors that use OpenDoors and pop out into their own little window. Drives me nuts, when I got a perfectly good 80x25 window there I could use it on.

    ... Set. Spike. Dig. I do it in the sand.

    I've never noticed that it would create a popup? It must be older doors. Legion RPG(uses OpenDoor Library) opens in the existing console screen of a user's session.

    All of APAMs doors load up in a seperate window. But I can run say Mandoor telnet, or MannIRC, or tourament trivia and they are win32 doors, and they all stay in the existing window. It just drives me nuts. MY OCD! <G> ;)

    That's too much of a headache, plus I really only know DOS programming issues. Getting into Win32 is a bit beyond me. I doubt anything I make in Turbo Pascal 7 would work anyways. <G>

    Besides for the popup windows though, it's not affecting performance is it?

    Fair enough, I can see how Turbo Pascal 7 would be the wrong tool for that job.

    I don't personally use Pascal, but I don't think you have to rewrite ANY code, it's just the compiler.

    |12Hayes Zyxel |07if he switched from Turbo Pascal to
    Free Pascal would ANY code need to change?

    Some functions don't exist in different versions. Like if I wanted to switch to Free Pascal .... half of renegade won't work without a rewrite.

    I'm curious as to what DOS BBS software or Fido product you've written, maintained and/or contributed to its source code or community of users.

    Atreyu

    I have NEVER contributed to any DOS BBS software or Fido product, but have been
    programming since 1997. Programming is what I do for a living. My comment about Renegade evolving is based on it's lack of scalability and support on multiple OSes. It has no impact on whether the software will thrive or not. It'd be nice to see support for it on multi-platform. I for one used to run Renegade when it was first introduced in the early 90s (DOS version). I used to
    customize it to kingdom come till I found it's limits. That then led me to visit other BBS softwares that I could tinker with.

    I would love to create a BBS project if I had the time. I think it'd be fun. But right now, I'm having a ball making mods and door games.

    I know he's been working on little by little on his spare time.

    Yeah, and spare time is more sparse time than anything. Work have never been so high.

    However, this is coming along... stay tuned.
