• Interested in starting out

    From thunderoxx@21:2/150 to All on Thu Dec 1 13:56:25 2022
    Hello all!

    As I am almost in my early twenties, I did not have opportunity to see BBSes in their full glory.

    Luckily, scene still exists (no matter how big or small) and I would be interested to contribute as I have some nifty ideas atleast, but don't know with what language & lib to start.

    Paulie @20fB gave me some nudges, but we both figured it would be much better to ask here on fsxNet.

    You can usually find me hanging out on aBSiNTHE BBS or on 2o f0r beeRS.

    To help any responders, he was looking for any door kits; like RefDoor, but more in depth. I know there are several available, and forgot the main one to suggest...

    I think you'll find some responses here, thunderoxx. cheers, r0ckstar.

    Ah, gotcha. Yeah that makes sense :) But it would help to understand target platform. DOS/Windows games? Or linux? ..?

    jack phlash uses xdoor for darkness which is a DOS game, and apam has built something called magidoor which works fantastically for linux (and windows though I have only personally tested building linux things iwth it).

    Cool!

    Magidoor sounds cool to me, but I had tough time finding it, is it available online or can be found here on some BBS?

    Also, target platform has also been my dilemma, since there are many choices and I'm not sure which would be (most) appropriate for a simpler project to get the boots wet :D

    Thank you all for advice, it's really appreciated :)

    Magidoor isn't documented, as I really wrote it for my own use - you're
    welcome to use it though, it's here:

    https://gitlab.com/magickabbs/magidoor

    If you're writing in C or C++ though, OpenDoors is a much more feature
    full kit, and it's well documented. It also runs on linux / win32.

    My advice: don't. Look for *terminal kits* instead, and us stdio. This works in all the modern boards (and can be wrapped for any older softs easily). There are nice term kits for pretty much any language out there.

    With the above you end up with a 'door' that's generic enough to pretty much work on any system, but uses modern terminal kits and techniques making life easier there as well.

    ...ofc, if you want to do it oldschool for the true feel, I've had success with FPC and some of the Pascal kits floating around, but I can't remember their names :D

    pretty much work on any system, but uses modern terminal kits and
    techniques making life easier there as well.

    You could do that, but you'll have to implement dropfile handling,
    connection timeouts and time-left handling yourself.

    It's really the learning curve you want to go with, if it's something
    like ncurses, you can use the knowledge elsewhere.

    For magidoor, it's pretty much some convienence functions, dropfile
    handling and writing to either a socket or stdio depending on OS, plus
    the timeout handling - I wonder if you could then use ncurses on top of
    that for window drawing etc.

    Thank you both NuSkooler & apam, this is insightful!

    Now I understand why the languages can be used in such a variety (considering you know how to handle some things as well).

    I will definitely expand my programming language knowledge and hopefully I'll manage to build something!

    You've all been very helpful and I appreciate it the most, especially for such a niche/small(er) scene in today's world (who knows why that's good actually).

    Dropfiles are so basic, and many of the values don't make sense any longer (or are dummy values & ignored anyway), so I guess I don't see this as a blocker. Connection timeouts are generally handled by the BBS: If the connection drops, the board drops the door PID.

    Time left... I guess. I'm not sure who's actually using that any longer. Perhaps on older systems on original hardware where resources are very limited.

    I think I looked at ncurses. The biggest thing with that was getting a
    proper "termio" (terminal capabilities). There's some out there, ansi-bbs,
    but it didn't seem to work for me.

    Optimizing screen writes is what ncurses does very well, but it isn't a

    You could do that, but you'll have to implement dropfile handling, connection timeouts and time-left handling yourself.

    I take for granted doorkits handle all of this, which is nice. That said, stdio games seem to work as expected when the user drops carrier and they close. I suppose that's the bbs handling it somehow, I have no idea really.

    It's really the learning curve you want to go with, if it's something
    like ncurses, you can use the knowledge elsewhere.

    I will say that working with ncurses directly is like a step backwards in time, and not in a good way :P doorkits have /much/ better implementation strategies for the things we intend to do with writing characters and colors on a screen. ncurses is industry standard for good reason, but we've got some better optimized code for our purposes in doorkits.

    For magidoor, it's pretty much some convienence functions, dropfile handling and writing to either a socket or stdio depending on OS, plus
    the timeout handling - I wonder if you could then use ncurses on top of that for window drawing etc.

    I wrote a roguelike (very basic) in c over the past several days using ncurses. I've been thinking about porting it over to a very simple, lightweight, stay-out-of-your-way doorkit. I may experiment with magidoor as well as others and write up my experience.

    Nevertheless I think the doors /you/ have made, which use magidoor, all work quite well and feel snappy and seemingly run without any major issues. So kudos to you for that!

    Oh nice. I've wanted to make a rogue like in ages. Had been playing with libtcod but it doesn't seem to be very portable. Also had tried a rust tutorial, but still haven't got my head around that language (though haven't really done much lately).

    Absolutely. I have a couple "doors" on my board that do just that now. Find a Python TUI kit you like that is compatible with ANSI-BBS -- basically meaning you need to avoid certain ESC sequences that most BBS terms won't understand. A number of libraries let you control this stuff, or simply avoid it.

    Ah! Sorry, I forgot you're private. So is Red Green BBS!

    The embarrassment of having spams sent from my BBS was enough for me
    to lock new users with a password. If you don't have the time to actively monitor it, lock it down.

    I'll get Red Green reconfigured so new users can't post to the networks.
    I can handle local message base spam. That doesn't go very far.

    I also completely forgot about having door++ out there. That's what I
    based my go one on.

    To help any responders he was looking for any door kits; like RefDoor but more in depth. I know there are several available and forgot the main one to suggest...

    My advice: dont. Look for *terminal kits* instead and us stdio. This works in all the modern boards (and can be wrapped for any older softs easily). There are nice term kits for pretty much any language out there.

    With the above you end up with a door thats generic enough to pretty much work on any system but uses modern terminal kits and techniques making life easier there as well.

    ...ofc if you want to do it oldschool for the true feel Ive had success with FPC and some of the Pascal kits floating around but I cant remember their names :D

    I second this.... STDIO to the telnet port is the way to go.

    Ah! Sorry, I forgot you're private. So is Red Green BBS!
    The embarrassment of having spams sent from my BBS was enough for me
    to lock new users with a password. If you don't have the time to
    actively monitor it, lock it down.

    I'll get Red Green reconfigured so new users can't post to the networks.
    I can handle local message base spam. That doesn't go very far.

    I also completely forgot about having door++ out there. That's what I based my go one on.

    Wow so you actually had someone get signed up and then spam on your BBS? Seems like a lot of work to go to for a small audience.

    What did the do? local boards? nets? elaborate please.

    They setup 3 accounts. Used one to spam dove-net. I delete the account,
    but didn't think to check for others. About a week later, another spam
    into dove-net. I got the other two accounts deleted that time.

    The spam was links to a cracks site.

    Do anything you can to get links to your website, I guess.

    If you can, you might want to add the following CSS to your ftelnet index.html:


    <style>
    body {background:black;}red Doors!/50Nodes/No Time Use! Stay On!
    .fTelnetCrtCanvas {height:100vh !important;}
    </style>

    It will create a black background on the body, looks much nicer. And the second line streches the screen a bit more. You could make it 80vh if you dont like
    it too big ;).

    check www.thawk.nl/ftelnet/ for example..

    oP!

    Yeah I'm not much of a developer. I will have to see if I can figure out how to put this in. For the most part its some very basic HTML code that was generated by the fTelnet folks to make it work. If you would ever be up to help with that I would appreciate it. MRC or discord or Teamspeak or what ever you prefer

    Let me know

    Are you hosting the fTelnet code generated by the embed-v2.ftelnet.ca website? Im pretty sure you can copy paste the code above in the same generated block (top).

    Hit me up on Discord if it doesnt work (DonderMuis) on Arak/Phenom etc.

    oP!

    Cool I was able to get the black to work but when I put in the second line it makes it so small its impossible to read. On discord I need the numbers with the user name.

    I'm Claw22000#5812

    I do appreciate the help as I am not good with web code.

    You could do that, but you'll have to implement dropfile handling, connection timeouts and time-left handling yourself.

    Dropfiles are so basic, and many of the values don't make sense any longer (or are dummy values & ignored anyway), so I guess I don't see this as a blocker. Connection timeouts are generally handled by the BBS: If the connection drops, the board drops the door PID.

    Which could be bad if the stdio door needs to save state information to disk. Synchronet (on *nix) first sends a HUP signal, then if the process doesn't gracefully self-terminate within 5 seconds, sends a TERM signal. If the TERM signal doesn't do it (gracefully terminate the door), then sbbs'll kill it. This works pretty good for *nix doors, but Windows stdio doors don't have the equivalent facility available to them (or if they do, I'm not aware of it).
