  • Re: Doors and .cfg files

    I'm trying to get an old door to work . It uses filename.exe
    filename.cfg in the menu command. I need to have a .cfg file for each node. How do I get Mystic to recognize which .cfg file to use based on whatever node the user has logged in on? The .cfg file won't accept the temp%1 for the directory. So I can't use the same .cfg file for all the nodes, it has to be temp1, temp2 in the .cfg file etc.

    door.exe temp%N.cfg where %N is the current node number.

    C:\MYSTIC\NETFOSS\NF.BAT /N%N /H%H C:\DOORS\GAME\GAME.BAT %N
    The NetFoss batch file would then call GAME.BAT with the node number as parameter %1. GAME.BAT then converts that parameter as the configuration filename:
    C:
    CD \DOORS\GAME
    GAME.EXE node%1.cfg

    Last night APAM helped me out on this. Had me do exactly what you are suggesting. Worked like a charm :) I was close when I tried my batch file but was off.

    Thanks for the reply.
