• GOLD MINE Community Game Server

    From aLPHA@21:4/158 to All on Fri Mar 11 14:29:12 2022
    Does the world need *another* door game server? Probably not! But I
    started one anyway!

    The goals are simple: preserve the past, showcase the future, and make it frictionless to join. GOLD MINE is in its infancy, but there's over 100
    games, including newer/current game like LEGION RPG and WORDLE.

    I've automated the sign-up process, so even when I'm away, it's easy to
    hook up to your BBS.

    Just hit [J] JOIN GOLD MINE from AlphaComplex.us:2323 Main Menu. Pop in
    your BBS's domain name (no port) and it'll be queued to be added to the
    next firewall whitelist update (every 20 minutes).

    There's also an mRC door, in case you wan't to join weekly meatups but
    aren't running Mystic.

    ** Also, please check out other door gamer servers like DoorParty,
    BBSLink, CombatNet, and Black Country Rock game servers. They're all good choices. Hell, join them all! **

    Detailed info here, including instructions and a game list:

    Cheers, and game on!

    It has long been an annoyance that PiBBS has no door games. You can be sure I will be looking into yours soon. (^_^)

    Awesome! I, personally, am overjoyed to see another (familiar) SysOp join a game server that I've joined. However, I'm not at all certain that my users will agree...especially when they find themselves being smote by people they never expected to exist... (\(>_<t)

    To be clear, I am definitely not the only user on PiBBS, which can be found
    by telnet at pibbs.sytes.net on port 23. Though, there are times when I feel the need to make (not very)subtle advertisements... (o_-)

    Loving that enthusiasm, paulie!

    Can I suggest Exitilus? It needs to be clear that there are some literal player-wiping bugs in that game, but it's still one of my favorites. Or,
    maybe Legion? I hear that game is pretty great, and my own experience with it agrees!

    I've heard of some Exitilus bugs, BUT... haven't played that door yet. :P Legion is fun, and since cr1mson actively works on it finding bugs or issues might be helpful in the next version.

    At any rate, hoping more ops come to GM and we can chat about blazing one or two doors up.

    Quite literally, one can press the wrong button on some screens, and totally wipe the player data. Or, in my case, spill coffee on your keyboard at the wrong time...

    I later found out that this was repeatable with button mashing.

    :P Legion is fun, and since cr1mson actively works on it finding bugs or issues might be helpful in the next version.

    Active dev support is very much a problem for BBS games, and why I got
    excited when you mentioned Legion over in 2oforbeers!

    At any rate, hoping more ops come to GM and we can chat about blazing
    one or two doors up.

    I've already got one game I'd like to see added to the list: Usurper

    Seems like Operation Overkill is stuck. Even if I'm the only person
    connected, OOII says it's in use.

    That might actually be my fault. I had a hard d/c while playing it a couple
    of days ago...and, like many humans, perhaps the program just couldn't let me go... (o_-)

    I hadn't actually tried to play OOII since.

    Nice! And if there's a game anyone wants added, just hit me up. Hardest
    part is usually just tracking down the right keygen or code if it's
    obscure and/or abandonware :)

    If you are on linux and your BBS system doesn't support RLOGIN out, let
    me know. I wrote a small door script that could help. And on Win,
    TelnetDoor works gerat for connecting.

    Personally, I'm addicted to GuTTeRBoWL RN -- but I suck at it...

    Would be cool to get a game of the month going...

    I *think* I fixed this... It was looking in the wrong dir for the drop
    file (my fault).

    Usurper plz...I might have binaries, and I know I can find 'em. I do believe
    it was never shareware, so no code.

    Not a bad idea. Especially if you have new games to 'advertise', but also to breathe new life into less popular titles...

    Thank you for the correction. The end result is the same, but I wasn't 100% certain, which is why I said 'believe'.
