• Original Planets:TEOS problem

    From sintrigue@21:2/147 to All on Friday, October 19, 2018 11:27:28
    I've been trying for a few days to get version 1.12 of the Planet:TEOS game
    to run on Mystic, but with no success. I'm using netfoss, and I've followed
    the directions (best I can tell) from the TEOS docs file.

    Here is the door entry on Mystic:
    c:\mystic\netfoss\nf.bat /N%3 /H%0 c:\mystic\doors\planets\planets.bat

    And here is the planets.bat file:
    C:\MYSTIC\DOORS\PLANETS\PLANETS.EXE /pc:\mystic /N%3

    Does anyone have any idea what I have incorrect? Version 2.02 runs just fine. Thanks very much for any help!

    Per your examples, and running 2.01b myself, I'm not sure if the original
    batch file for 1.12 wasn't like all of Seth's doors. Yours looks custom, so
    I'd suggest:

    Here is the door entry on Mystic:
    c:\mystic\netfoss\nf.bat /N%3 /H%0 c:\mystic\doors\planets\planets.bat

    Add a space and a %3 at the end of your menu command.

    And here is the planets.bat file:
    C:\MYSTIC\DOORS\PLANETS\PLANETS.EXE /pc:\mystic /N%3

    And change the

    /pc:\mystic /N%3

    to

    /pc:\mystic\temp%1 /N%1

    Should work. If it doesn't, try making \temp%1 into \temp%1\

    Sometimes the older doors needed the backslash at the end of the path for the dropfile.
