Hello everyone!
Question anyone running Galactic Dynasty on SBBS?
Sure would like to know the config for it. Only reason being I play it a lot.
This configuration works for both Win32 and Linux Synchronet installs.
However (Apam, are you here?) if you run both OSes (as I do, withVertrauen)
for some reason the user's created on the Win32 instances aren'tseen/reused
on the Linux instances, even though both users appear in the created "users.db3" file.
I'll have a look at the user stuff, I can't remember how I do users, but if it's just sqlite dbs like you say it's very odd that they don't work across systems. A guess might be different sqlite versions, but I'll have a look more later today.

I'm here now :) Weird - I just set up synchronet again yesterday and hooked up dove net. Lots of nice new stuff since last time I used it :)

I can't promise any fixes though, if it's an sqlite thing it might be a bit beyond my skill set, and you do have a pretty unique setup :)

I had a look, I think it's an issue with the windows version, for some reason certain versions of MinGW gcc don't work properly with opendoors,
the ODControl structure doesn't work as it should. I *think* the windows version might have been putting in different values of the BBS name, which is username!handlejust
I also found I was adding a null character to each of my strings, causing TEXT fields to be seen as BLOBS, which I've now fixed.
Anyway, I think it should be fixed now, one of the symptoms of the MinGW thing is the intro screen has pauses in it, and the latest version I've
uploaded to Paul doesn't do that.
Okay, cool. Do you host your programs for download on a web-site or ftpsite
somewhere too?

I used to, but in shuffling things around a while ago I stopped. I uploaded them to you on vert.
I really should have them all on a website, so I started with Galactic Dynasty and will put up other binarys as i go.
Cool. Do mind if I move them to a public download area?
I tested the files you uploaded for both Win32 and Linux and it appears the user data is now compatible across both. :-)

You still have the git site for pulling and compiling your own, right?
The other reason for having binaries (and source zip files for linux) is that >'s a snapshot of a known point in time that works, and can be used for interbbs
leagues so they know they've got the same version.
For the interbbs stuff, I do try to use the source packets they send out over the file echos (provided I remember to look for them first!). :)
