I have successfully compiled Duece's JSDoor in linux and gotten his
Javascript Lord conversion to run in Mystic.

For those of you who don't know what JSDoor is, it's a standalone piece
of software, or a shim, that allows you to run Synchronet Javascript
doors independently of Synchronet.

There are quite a few doors in Synchronet's source tree and so far I
have only tried, successfully I might add, the JS version of Lord.

If you want to see what it's like, I have it up on the Diskshop (bbs.diskshop.ca) under the Fantasy Doors menu.

Care to share details? :)

Sure, it's easy. Grab the sbbs src, in the sbbs3 directory simply run 'make jsdoor' and tada, you are done.

Then call the js doors with '/path/to/jsdoor /path/to/lord.js -D /path/to/door.sys'

The last time I talked with Deuce about this, games needed to be written (or updated) with JSDoor compatibility in mind. LORD should be fine, but other existing JS games may not run. (The situation may have improved since then; this was like four years ago.)

I have tried it with 5 different js games randomly and so far, LORD is the
only one that works.

Not surprised. Updating other games to work with it shouldn't be a huge effort, but we'd need to take the time to go through it. Having some documentation to work from would also be useful, and I don't think that exists.

Apart from a single line on how to compile it on Windows buried in the
Syncterm how-to file (I don't know why it is there) there is no
documentation.

I only figured out the proper command line usage by reading the sysop.doc
file in the lord-js source.

Sure, it's easy. Grab the sbbs src, in the sbbs3 directory simply run 'make jsdoor' and tada, you are done.

Then call the js doors with '/path/to/jsdoor /path/to/lord.js -D /path/to/door.sys'

Sweet, gonna give this a shot. Ugh...I'm on vacation in a little village in
the Alps in Switzerland and I'm building js shims...I'm a schmuck.
