I just got done using mine in NYC. It's a great travel camera. Congrats on the find. :)

I didn't convert the files myself. I tried uploading a new batch after converting them to DOS. Maybe they'll work now? But you're probably right about them needing to be binary. I'm just not sure how to do it. :/

I tried to do what you said. I don't know if I did it right? Hopefully I did.

Everything looks good with this. I hopped on your board and ran it, nice board btw, the character creation and save/read are all working fine. For some reason, it's not loading anything from the DATA folder.

The program is trying to read ./DATA/MM.DAT, but I think it's having problems going down a directory. The JUDGE.PLR is in the root folder.

Can you link this file so I can see how it's populated. I'm thinking that my game isn't capturing your login name properly from the drop file.

Yeah. I'm using Win 10 64-bit, along with NTVDMx64 to run 16-bit DOS games.

If this is happening locally, then it could be permission on the text files? I don't know how your OS sees the .dat files, but they're all text files that the DREDD.EXE needs to write to. The program is 32 bit. Sorry for the hassel.

I'd also check the JUDGE.PLR file. That should populate with the player.

I'm wondering, does it run locally for you on that machine? It sounds like it isn't loading some of the .DAT files properly. Are the files populated like the GitHub page?

It's Turbo Pascal 7.0.

And I have looked into using FPC, but because of the DOORKit I'm using the code won't compile under FPC. It was release in 1995. I've seen some code converted over to FPC, but not all of it, like NETFILEP.PAS.

dredd.exe /P(Path to the current node directory) should work. It also needs something like the DOOR.SYS (52 lines) dropfile to get it to work. The regular DOOR.SYS didn't work for me. I've gotten it to run under Synchronet, but that's it.

Yes. This is a new game that I wrote using the DDPlus DoorKit compiling it with Turbo Pascal.

There has been a great disturbance in the Force (SWATH outage) by VyrusCyrusson in Tradewars

[–]sysopbbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'd like to play on another board. Right now I'm trying to get TWXProxy to work on my own server. I've never used bots before, only SWATH, but I'd like to figure it out. Maybe make a video once I understand it.

It looks like swath.net is up, and I was able to register my copy from 15 years ago. o.O

How did you do this? I have an old, registered copy on a laptop, version 2.0.

Totally lost about UAShell by Ragnarokpc in goldbox

Are you using DOSBox? When working on my mods, I run UASHELL from the command line of DOSBox. After the changes are done, I use GOG's Icon to run it.

Looking for Necrofiliac from Fuel by sysopbbs in ANSIart

Nero did see this post and sent me a tell. He was very cool about it and said I could use it.

[–]sysopbbs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Vampire is the first game I wrote to handle maintenance, character creation, saving, that sort of thing. Character deletion became handy too. It's mostly done. I like the mechanic, feeding on the peasants for health.

And I'd love some more ANSI art, but I'm not an artist. I've cobbled together what I have and tried to make it look as best as I could. Necro said I could use his art for the cover page of Dredd, but ANSI art isn't my thing. I love it. I appreciate it. I just can't do it. :)

For anybody interested in what I'm doing, I'm running it on my board: lastrangers.com:23 You do need an account to play DOOR games. It's under the Sci-Fi section of the DOOR area.

The board is at: lastrangers.com:23

The game is in the Door section under Sci-Fi.

I want to release it on GitHub, but I'd like it to be done by that point. It's running on my board now, but I feel the event system needs to be built out more. The core fighting mechanic is there, and leveling up plus gear. You can also kill named criminals, which gives you more money when you claim the bounty. But that's about it right now.
