      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:129/215 72463fb9       REPLY: 1:229/426.52 5179bd06       TZUTC: -0400        AG> I've decided to try GameServ for my door hosting and was wondering how        AG> does one get Mystic to create a door drop file if we're telnetting over        AG> to the GameServ. I tried to add a command before the telnet command but        AG> the drop file gets delet ed before the telnet session loads.              I think you would use a door command but then have it run a script that would       copy the drop files from the node's temp directory to wherever it has to go       for GameServ to read it.              I've never used GameServ so I am curious what it does that would be appealing       to use? Mystic for example already does the same door I/O redirection and can       auto login/create accounts via RLOGIN/SSH. Is it just to have a centralized       thing that isn't built around a specific BBS software?              To be clear I am not trying to question the decision or something like that,       I'm just trying to pick your brain to get inspiration! I have a bunch of       ideas of my own to revamp Mystic's own door system that I've been meaning to       do for years now, but its always good to collect insight from as many people       as I can!              (Oddly enough Mystic 2.0 demo from 2001-2004 time period has a lot of the door       stuff I wanted to do and that stuff is STILL not in Mystic 1.x in 2021 lol)              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/05/02 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 | Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 106/127 120/340 457 616 123/10 131 129/215       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/105 757 802 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 220/80       SEEN-BY: 220/90 221/6 226/30 227/114 201 702 229/101 310 424 426 452       SEEN-BY: 229/550 664 700 981 1016 1017 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400       SEEN-BY: 261/38 280/464 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3 322/757 342/17       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280 770/1 3634/12       PATH: 129/215 154/10 221/6 153/757 229/664 426           |
