• Mystic DoorParty

    From maskreet@21:1/114 to All on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 14:24:47
    Just wanted to share with everyone here that DoorParty is running 100% on Mystic BBS now. It's been a dream of mine to do this for years now, and I'm stoked as hell that it's an actuality. Even more stoked because I can actually program in MPY, so I can mod the hell out of it with anything I can think of. Woo! Thank you, g00r00 for the amazing BBS software.

    Also means I can natively run MPY and MPS scripts, so if anyone has any doors or mods written in either of those, submit 'em! Doors will always get added, mods I'll have to see if they fit the theme of DoorParty. I'll add a submission option to the main menu for anyone that wants to.

    Also, looking for feedback on literally *anything* with the new server. Jump on, poke around, then hit @ at the main DoorParty menu and lemme know. Good, bad, anything.

    See ya there!

    I hadn't heard about this switch - I'll have to login directly to DP to see the changes. I always thought that Synchronet was the more secure/safe choice for door networks, but st0ked to come see the changes.

    Dude; I'm sure you can code with the quickness, but you have to check out Cursor AI Code Editor; I fed it the MPS/MPY documentation from xq and g00r00 - and its really flipping good. It'll help make your coding easier.

    Also means I can natively run MPY and MPS scripts, so if anyone has any doors or mods written in either of those, submit 'em! Doors will always get added, mods I'll have to see if they fit the theme of DoorParty.
    I'll add a submission option to the main menu for anyone that wants to.

    Dude - this pumps me up; Lets make DP r0ck with animations and other effects that the retro cats will hate b/c Telix can't sniff out the wizardry - settle down, Paulie... :P

    Also, looking for feedback on literally *anything* with the new server. Jump on, poke around, then hit @ at the main DoorParty menu and lemme know. Good, bad, anything.

    I'm gonna come by and checkout the changes. Thanks for jumping on the <DP DOWN 11/13/24> so quickly - <3 <3 <3!

    Hey Maskreet! Congrats on the move, it's gotta feel great having so many new familiar tools at your disposal.

    One mod that Black Panther wrote, under RCS Mods, is an 80x25 and 132x37 door menu mod for Door Party, BBSlink, any local game, etc... Can be customized with any ANSI. The nice thing about it is adding new doors and menus using .ini files and in mass as opposed to one at a time. While I don't think you'd need / want it for Door Party, it might be a fun one to look as it was written to make it easier for new SysOps to connect to servers and install games. It's here along with other mods RCS wrote.

    Again, congrats!

    That is outstanding!! I have always wanted to move my door server off of SynchroNet to Mystic but never had the time to sit down and move 150 plus doors!! I will logon now to check it out!

    Wow, just got off of DoorParty! A LOT more responsive and quicker. Logging in and it feels like you are just hitting D from the prompt. It definitely will make new BBS' which don't have any doors on them feel like they are local doors.. Hell I can see a sysOp just changing D in the main menu to go straight to DoorParty and be done with doors completely. Nice setup!!

    Hey Maskreet! Congrats on the move, it's gotta feel great having so

    Agreed. Freakin' fantastic, Maskreet. Gold standard door server!!

    On another note, I really do appreciate the work Rob has put into
    Synchronet Door Server mode, and would love to see more
    speed/transparency built in to that experience as well. It can be jarring
    to see connection details, copyrights, etc., when the Sysop really wants
    it to feel like a local thing (IMHO). The SBBS game server mode has lots
    of modding opportunities w/javascript as well.

    Love to see innovation here!

    I started working on a "door of doors" ahem, door, a while back with the intention of unifying all the door servers into one UI to launch them.
    E,g, you want to play LORD? Here are all the places you can play. Needs a
    lot more work...

    Thanks! Yeah, there's a Mystic DoorParty menu generator included with every custom connect package. It'll pull the door codes and everything, set them all up as a generic lightbar/grid menu, you just have to select which doors you want to setup.

    Yeah, it wasn't fun. But it was also less painful than initially setting them all up, and I wrangled ChatGPT into making custom Python scripts to read door CFG files and autocreate the other 49 I needed for a lot of game instead of what I had to do back in the day, which was manually copying/pasting, renaming, and then editing all 50. Oof.

    Very nice, I had not seen that, then again I've been set up for a while. I'll have to check it out.

    Thank you! Here's something though...

    I got feedback from a user saying the LORD IGMs weren't working. I totally forgot to set all 150+ of those suckers up too, so I was resigned to setting up the configs for all of them over the next few days. Then I realized all I had to do was set SUBST to the original drive from when they were running on Synchronet and Linux, and it took me two seconds and worked! THEEEEENNNN I realized I could've done that for all of the door games I took 3-4 days to setup as well. =\

    Thanks so much for operating and maintaining DoorParty. It's a great
    way for Sysops to easily add a lot of great doors to their BBS,
