Hi g00r00;

I've tried to figure this out on my own, and with the help of some other
Mystic SysOps, but I'm pretty stuck. Time to send it up the food chain, I guess! (^_^)

I'm having a little trouble with using IR commands to link directly to a door server's games. I can get the link to the server's main menu working, but any time I use /PROMPT or /term=xtrn=* causes the IR command to fail, and I'm not finding anything in the logs...

These same links (same games, same server) are working perfectly on other BBSes, so I'm fairly certain it's something I did, rather than a Mystic-wide bug. But I've no idea what. Could you give some insight or advice?

Yes, I know...I need to upgrade to a47...I've been delaying it, because I want to do a full rebuild of PiBBS at the same time, due to some mistakes I made when first setting it up. It's difficult to set aside a good amount of time
to do all that, lately. Unless you made some changes to the IR command,
though, I'm not sure that this would be an issue.

Thanks for all your hard work, all the same!

A46 does not have the /TERM option it was added in the A47 pre-alphas, so that is my first guess as to the problem :)

Okay...maybe being on a46 *is* the problem! =P Please excuse me while I
proceed to feel dumb...

Is it safe to assume that's also the case with /PROMPT ? This too is causing failures...

Thanks!

Yes they were both added between A46 and A47 releases.

Thank you. Do you happen to know how this was done previously? :)

Never mind. It's really time for me to get up-to-date anyway. The main menu link is working anyway, so I'm calling it a success!
