Hello all,
I'm new to OpenDoors and BBS door programming, and have a question regarding multi-node drop files. I have a Synchronet 3.14 test bbs. I am able to compile/link/run source code for OpenDoors 6.2 when I choose to have the drop file (door32.sys) go to the startup directory.
However, If I try to put the drop file in the node directory to enable multi-node support, I cannot get the program to run (errors on cannot find drop file). I've tried to specify (even hard coded) such as:
strncpy(od_control.info_path,"e:\sbbs\node1",59);
I tried another test where I put the drop file to the start-up directory, and ran the door from two simultaneous nodes. A sample of od_control.user_name shows correctly (even for the first node after the second node connects).
This doesn't seem like a good way to do this - I'm not sure if the program will ever need to refresh the information from this file during the
execution.
I read Rob Swindell's odoors62.txt readme file and he mentioned he made changes to support door32.sys. I'm not sure if the option to point od_control.info_path to another location is supported.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks!
