Hello, my name is KingD! I just want to say that I think Usurper is a great game. A question? I am setting up a BBs using Synchronet, but I am unable to get Usurper to work, the game will run locally only, I have tried several different configurations, but NOTHING will work. I am at a loss here.... I have tried Door.sys, Dorinfo, Chain, all of them but I keep getting an error when I try to run the game from inside the BBS... it says:
action: executing
object: c:\\sbbs\\xtrn\\usurper\\usurp /m1 /p#1
access: 16384 (0x4000)
then when I look at thr error log it says:
source: xtrn.cpp
line: 579
action: executing
object: c:\\sbbs\\xtrn\\usurper\\usurp /m1 /p#1
access: 16384 (0x4000)
errno: 2 (No such file or directory)
Winerror: 6 (0x6)
Confused here, any help with this would be great!
Thank you,
KingD
I have a problem..

Re: Help with Usurper setup on SBBS
Hi King,
I'm sorry but I'm not an expert on Synchronet. I know I have seen configurations posted on the Net. Have you looked around?

Usurper Help
Well I am no longer getting the error message that I posted before, but I still have a problem. I am using Synchronet BBs software. When I login to the game, the game will load in a separate window, NOT the telnet window....the game runs its maintenance after that I get a message about a missing parameter???? Anyone running Synchronet and Usurper who can help me figure this out, please let me know! Thank you

One thing I noticed in your post was in comment in you last message
being
|Start-up Directory: ..\\xtrn\\usurper
|
|Command Line: usurper /P%#
I wound up using full path names when trying to get Gamsrv working.
So that you may have to use:
Command line: c:\\sbbs\\xtrn\\usurper\\usurper.exe /m1 /p#1
( end of update )

Usurper under synchronet
Hi, I'm versed in Synchronet both under Win32 and Linux, and I've had Usurper running under both (and still currently under Linux).
So you're running Synchronet under Win32 I believe, right? Under Synchro version 3.10 or .11ish? Let's go over the basics...
You've got some doors running, but not Usurper. From the error message you first described it sounds like a problem bigger than Usurper being misconfigured. I'd suggest to do the following:
Set your start directory as c:\\sbbs\\xtrn\\usurper or whatever is appropriate.
Set your execution command to usurper.bat %#
Edit usurper.bat in \\sbbs\\xtrn\\usurper to say the following:
USURPER.EXE /N%1 /PC:\\SBBS\\NODE%1 /B57600
--note: the /B57600 may or may not be necessary...I actually don't think that's really needed
Set multiple users to yes
Set drop file to door.sys, real names is up to you, lower case doesn't matter (you may not even get that option under Windows, can't remember)
Edit the usurper config or .ctl or whichever and make sure it's looking for door.sys
If you want, add a line in your usurper.bat that says \"pause\" so it will pause...that way you atleast know you're running the batch file. If it doesn't do this you've got bigger problems.
Make sure your command shell file is properly calling usurper... make sure what your exec_xtrn line is referring to is the same as in the config.
It's getting late so I'm going to go to sleep. That's all I can think of right now anyway, what happens when you try that?
