I simply want to start doors from rlogin connections. They're all .js.

.js written for Synchronet specifically?

I can't figure out any of this.

Did you read https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:game_server ?

The whole logon sequence appears even though
I disabled most of it.

Where?

The games don't start, I get an error that it's not
found due to the way I've got the path and door game name separate.

What's the error message?

Do I need to start them with jsexec?

No.

I've got tons of questions and couldn't

If you want an rlogin client to go *directly* to a specific door game, then the rlogin *client* needs to specify the internal code of that door (xtrn) in the Rlogin terminal string, as documented in the above wiki page.

If you want all rlogin clients to go directly to your door game menu, that's also described on that wiki page.

I should be able to
figure it out from there. Plus how to disable all of the new user messages and prompting...

Can you be more specific? Some new user messages/prompts can be disabled in SCFG->System->New User Prompts, some are disabled through text string customization (e.g. via ctrl/text.ini file), others via JS modifications or modopts settings.

Yes.

modopts.ini

Still, I think we'd like to know what the error message was.

I had jsexec followed by the .js script loading after the path. Simple user error.

Do I need to start them with jsexec?

No.

I've got tons of questions and couldn't find any answers on the

wiki

3.20d I

I added that and it still does the same thing. I gave up and am using an external server. This was quite unpleasant. I followed the instructions

The rlogin_xtrn_logon = false support was added 8 months ago: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/3cd0394caaee67343bd1a58091b0df19

Your version of Synchronet (and specifically, your exec/logon.js file) is older than that.

I agree: you've been quite unpleasant to deal with. Good riddance.

if you had to deal with yourself, would you be happy with your error
reporting ablilities?

what you should do when having an issue is report what os you are running, what version of the software you are running, and provide screen captures
of your configuration.

your problems weren't really that bad. if you would have ran the latest version of synchronet and toggled off what you didn't want to see, it would have worked.

you dont want to get it working.

Have you never dealt with a neuro-divergent individual? We can be difficult, but we totally mean well. Our brains don't work like normal people's, we
don't think coherently or cohesively, but we can be highly intelligent.
That's the only way we remain semi-lucid. I didn't mean to cause you difficulty, I just don't deal well when things don't work the way they are supposed to. In my case, it's the new user procedure that needs to be disabled. Every time I connect, it's as a new user and the real name isn't accepted as the same as the handle (sbbs simply reports that it's either a
dupe or invalid) as I think it's only 1 word. I'd love to be able to get
this to work, but until then I'll be semi-satisfied with using the anet
online game server for individual games.

Of course I have.

And I told you how to disable that real name prompt.

If you connect a second time with the same name, that wouldn't be another new user either, so "every time" sounds incorrect as well.

I'd love to be able to get
this to work, but until then I'll be semi-satisfied with using the anet online game server for individual games.

Cool. I've never heard of it. Looks like it's running Synchronet: a-net-online.lol
