• Mega Slots Game

    From Argos@77:1/125 to All on Tue Dec 8 13:56:22 2020
    I am setting up the Door Game Mega slots currently local just to get it working. In the Mystic Config. for door games I have the game set up as
    DD ( Exec external program ) and the data line calls the path to a batch file mega77.bat %3

    Now in the batch file I have..... mega.exe c:\mystic\temp%1\door.sys

    So, the issue is the door runs just fine on Node 1, however id someone is on node 2 it does not work. I am guessing is because I am calling the drop file only from the node 1 temp directory.

    If anyone is running Mega Slots, can you tell me what your setting are in Mystic Config for the game and what your Batch File is to call and run the game?

    That is exactley how I have it setup and have no issues running it
    across multiple nodes, I just tested it.

    What are you seeing in Mystic's logs when you try to run it and get
    dropped back?

    Your setup looks right if you just wanted to run it locally so I am not sure exactly what is happening.

    I am assuming you're using Windows 32 -bit based on the .bat file and that Mega Slots is a FOSSIL door? If you wanted to complete the setup for local/remote/all nodes it'd probably look like this:

    Command: DX (Exec w/ DOSXTRN)
    Data: cd<c:\doors\mega> mega.exe %Pdoor.sys

    This assumes you're using Version 1.12 A47 though and you have copied the DOSXTRN files into your root directory.

    This basically tells Mystic to switch to the c:\doors\mega directory and then run "mega.exe %Pdoor.sys" where %P is replaced by the path where that node's drop files will be created. No batch files or anything else needed.

    I don't know the MegaSlots door in particular so I am just typing this based on what I read in your message.

    As long as you are passing the node number in the .bat file you should be working fine,

    i.e. start.bat %N

    or skip the batch all together and just run the command mega.exe %Pdoor.sys .

    Good catch. It is totally a fossil door.
