• GoldMine - Connecting from Synchronet BBS

    From Errol Casey@21:1/182 to All on Sat Aug 3 00:48:28 2024
    Thanks to echicken and JA for there help with
    figuring this out!

    NOTE: there are two hostnames involved with
    Gold Mine BBS goldminebbs.com and goldminedoors.com
    although obvious, they have different purposes and
    goldminebbs.com doesn't work for the DOOR -- LOL

    To connect to goldmine bbs door server

    Name or IP may be used:
    goldminedoors.com 143.198.58.173

    Port 2513 must be specified.

    Use rlogin in external program definition

    [tag] is a unique 3-character tag that identifies
    your bbs when your users connect.

    This will get you to the main menu

    ?rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 -s [tag]%A -c %A

    This will quiet some of the output (about ctrl-] menu)

    ?rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 -s [tag]%A -c %A -q

    To call a game directly
    ?rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 -s [tag]%A -c %A -t xtrn=WORDLE -q

    Game CODE words can be found on the documentation site http://goldminebbs.com

    rlogin module is defined in the wiki https://wiki.synchro.net/module:rlogin
    %A is defined in the wiki https://wiki.synchro.net/config:cmdline

    Enjoy!

    Thank you JA for providing the Game Door Server!

    To connect to goldmine bbs door server

    Name or IP may be used:
    goldminedoors.com 143.198.58.173

    Port 2513 must be specified.

    Use rlogin in external program definition

    [tag] is a unique 3-character tag that identifies
    your bbs when your users connect.

    This will get you to the main menu

    ?rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 -s [tag]%A -c %A

    Hello Errol (and anyone else)... The above command line gets me to the main menu of the door server, but the %A part doesn't put in the username. It just displays the "current gamer" as [tag]%A. The %A isn't being "expanded" to a user name. Can you check/clarify that?

    I'm able to get to the main menu just fine, and play the doors, with just the command line:

    ?rlogin 143.198.58.173:2513 -p

    But... this doesn't show the [tag] in front of the user name displayed. I'm not sure how important that is, but it seems that most others who are logging in have that working. So, what command line are you Synchronet BBS operators using to connect to the Gold Mine server?

    Thanks!

    I believe it is working for me; I think I may also have -q on my command line now.

    Just logged in and my tag is displayed in front of my user name. At top
    of menu on Gold Mine.

    I know there was working rlogin to add some arguments, so don't know if I have a later version of the rlogin.js I keep things pretty updated.

    Aug 17 th is the date on my rlogin module.

    Are you using Synchronet w/Windows? I haven't documented that, so would be great to add to goldminebbs.com documentation site once we have a working example. I'm running Linux and i use an .sh script to grab the user name directly from the dropfile (e.g. pass the node number):

    ----

    #!/bin/bash

    # Get the node number and door code from the arguments passed
    NODE_NUMBER=$1
    BBS="TAG" # Change this to your tag
    DOOR_CODE=$2

    # Define the path to the sbbs DOOR32.SYS file DOOR32_SYS_PATH=/sbbs/node${NODE_NUMBER}/DOOR32.SYS

    # Extract the alias from line 7
    USER_ALIAS=$(sed -n '7p'
    "$DOOR32_SYS_PATH" | tr ' ' '-') # replace spaces

    # Run the rsh-redone-client command
    if [ -n "$DOOR_CODE" ]; then

    I update fairly often too, my rlogin.js is dated Aug 10. Not likely to
    be the issue here.

    Are you on Windows? I'm on Linux and wonder if that might have an
    effect.

    Is the [TAG] importaint in some way? Do you care if it's included in

    I'm on Linux 3.20a.
    rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 -s [TLB]%A -c %A -q ▄█████▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀██████████████████████████████████████████████████████▄

    █ ▀ █ ▀
    So using the above parameters for the external program it is passing the label and username.

    It does seem I have the -q option, not sure that is required.

    No reviewing the -q is just to avoid some output about the connection.

    I don't see -A in rlogin or telnet wiki pages. I think this was added to the module. Let me search emails.

    But i'm not sure why it would work for me and not you unless, it was a difference in the code.

    Re: Re: GoldMine - Connecting from Synchronet BBS
    I said -A I mean -s. Looking at gitlab 8/10 was when -s and -S were added
    to telgate and/or rlogin.

    So you check and confirm that your code has that option since it was added on the same date, you said your file was modified. Or hopefully you do have it, but something to check.

    Let me know if I can test anything else for you...

    Okay, but I doubt anyone else is doing that, and they have a [TAG] displayed in front of their Username. Just wondering why mine isn't working, and what other (Synchronet) users are using for their command line...

    Goldmine requires you send [TAG] from whatever BBS system you use
    ("require" is used loosley here as I don't prevent you from connecting,
    but it helps identifies what BBS you and your users are connecting from).

    Is the [TAG] importaint in some way? Do you care if it's included in
    the user's login?

    Yeah, it creates a uniformity in terms of stats. I purposely set it up as
    an "open" system and I don't require sign ups or approvals, I don't lock
    down by IP address, etc. I'm sure there's a native sbbs solution, but the
    code i posted does work for sbbs w/linnux.

    Happy to help in whatever way!

    I said -A I mean -s. Looking at gitlab 8/10 was when -s and -S were
    added to telgate and/or rlogin.

    I don't understand what you mean. In your other message you said you
    use this command line:

    rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 -s [TLB]%A -c %A -q

    I don't see a "-A" there, I see a "%A".

    The -s and the -c I understand, but I'm asking how you are getting the USERNAME (I think your other message showed that to be "amr") to show up
    after your TAG (which shows as "TLB".

    So you check and confirm that your code has that option since it was
    added on the same date, you said your file was modified. Or hopefully
    you do have it, but something to check.

    Yes, it has the -s option in it, if that's what you mean.

    Let me know if I can test anything else for you...

    Well, I'm just trying to get this issue explained, for now.

    Yes, understood, and I'm trying to get it to do that. Just to be sure
    of something - this [TAG] isn't something I have to set up (manually)
    once on your system before connecting from my BBS, right? It's just
    something that should be included on the callout command line when a
    user connects to GoldMine from my BBS... is that correct?

    Is the [TAG] importaint in some way? Do you care if it's included in
    the user's login?

    Yeah, it creates a uniformity in terms of stats. I purposely set it up
    as an "open" system and I don't require sign ups or approvals, I don't lock down by IP address, etc. I'm sure there's a native sbbs solution,
    but the code i posted does work for sbbs w/linnux.

    Understood again, and I'm currently trying to get things straight with
    another SBBS user, hopefully figured out soon.

    Happy to help in whatever way!

    Thanks, and thank you for operating GoldMine Doors!

    For anyone else's benefit, on Synchronet the working command line is:

    ?rlogin goldminedoors.com:2513 -s [TAG]%a

    Does that work with multi-word user aliases? You might have to do something like this to be compatible with multi-word aliases:
    "[TAG]%A" - the capitalize the 'A' to prevent the auto-quoting and add quotes around the entire name with the [TAG] part.

    Yeah, that's actually the reason why i ended up writing a shell script to
    grab the name directly from the drop file, as I have a two-word alias.
    I'll add the above to the docs if that's the solution... Cheers.

    For anyone else's benefit, on Synchronet the working command line is:

    - the capitalize the 'A' to prevent the auto-quoting and add quotes

    It does NOT work with multi-word alias, unless the quotes are also used.
    Then it gets a little weird... When using the quotes, neither %a nor %A expand to the user's alias, they just show as "%a" or "%A".

    Without the quotes, the %a or %A work, but only with a single-word
    [TAG].

    Does that work with multi-word user aliases? You might have to do something like this to be compatible with multi-word aliases: "[TAG]%A" - the capitalize the 'A' to prevent the auto-quoting and add quotes around the entire name with the [TAG] part.

    It does NOT work with multi-word alias, unless the quotes are also used. Then it gets a little weird... When using the quotes, neither %a nor %A expand to the user's alias, they just show as "%a" or "%A".

    Yeah, I'm not surprised. The additional quotes was just an idea, but looking at the source code now, I see there's no special handling of quotes on command-lines within SBBS.

    Without the quotes, the %a or %A work, but only with a single-word
    [TAG].

    Yup, I can see how that'd be the case.

    Yup, I can see how that'd be the case.

    I just committed a trivial update to rlogin.js that'll allow you to specify the -s (or -c) option multiple times to build up the auth string, e.g.

    ?rlogin server -s[TAG] -s %a

    But the other way (with the quotes and no spaces) should work too.

    Thanks for the update. Both ways do indeed work now, with this
    difference:

    If I define either of those methods as the command line for my external event/door, it works as expected, and produces this output on the
    Goldmine site as the current user: [PAL]Gamgee

    If I run either of those command lines while sitting at a prompt on my
    BBS, using the ;EXEC command and then typing the command line, I get
    this output on the site: [PAL]%A

    So for some reason the alias variable is not being evaluated when run "manually".

    Is the case of the %a or %A significant? Both show as "%A" on the
    output if that means anything.

    Thanks!

    It sounds like you're using a command shell that is converting the input to all-caps. Here's how it works for me using default.js and the updated str_cmds.js (and demonstrates the difference between %a and %A):

    ■ Main ■ 0:07:22 [4] fsxNet [11] FSX BBS: ;exec
    Command-line: ?showargs %a
    argc = 1
    argv[0] = 'Digital Man'

    Command-line: ?showargs %A
    argc = 2
    argv[0] = 'Digital'
    argv[1] = 'Man'

    showargs.js is just this (for test/demo purposes):
    print("argc = " + argc);
    for(i=0;i<argv.length;i++)
    printf("argv[%d] = '%s'\r\n",i,argv[i].toString());

    Ahhh, OK, thank you again. For a single-word alias I'll just use the lowercase one then.

    The only changes though are that some commands have been disabled, and
    some modified to use the DDMsgReader/DDAreaChooser mods. No changes
    made to anything related to case/caps. The display on the remote

    I gave you 2 solutions, one using %A and one using %a:

    ?rlogin somehost "-s[TAG]%A"
    and
    ?rlogin somehost -s [TAG] -s %a

    Hopefully you'd use the same solution (pick one, either should work) for all aliases, regardless of how many words are in the alias.

    The only changes though are that some commands have been disabled, and
    some modified to use the DDMsgReader/DDAreaChooser mods. No changes

    Old versions of default.src converted string input (after the ;) to uppercase. That was changed (to leave original case) 4 years ago:
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/d62930c3107a9cc15a5aa83e4a6a

    Your modified copy of default.src must be at least 4 years old in that case.

    If you just type ";EXEC" and hit enter, it should prompt you for the command to execute and allow lowercase input.

    The display on the remote
    website that always showed the capitalized "A" might have been something
    on that end, I would guess.

    We're talking about terminal, not website, but no, it has to do with your command shell.

    Anyhow, things are all good now with the
    command line for opening that game server door. Appreciate it.

    Cool. And in the future, you'll find quicker, more accurate answers to Synchronet support questions in the official support channels.

    Is the [TAG] importaint in some way? Do you care if it's included in

    I am trying to set up a connection with goldmine bbs doors. I need to know if it is run from a batch file or do i just put this string ?rlogin 143.198.58.173:2513 -p in the command line of the door execution section of scfg? Does it launch like a door? with a batch file or does it run like bbs link of doorparty? Do i need any extra scripts to connect. no matter which way i work it I get an 's' value not defined. I would like to connect. I love these inter BBS games a lot.

    By: Errol Casey to All on Sat Aug 03 2024 12:48 am

    Hello Errol (and anyone else)... The above command line gets me to the main menu of the door server, but the %A part doesn't put in the username. It just displays the "current gamer" as [tag]%A. The %A isn't being "expanded" to a user name. Can you check/clarify that?

    I'm able to get to the main menu just fine, and play the doors, with just the command line:

    ?rlogin 143.198.58.173:2513 -p

    But... this doesn't show the [tag] in front of the user name displayed. I'm not sure how important that is, but it seems that most others who are logging in have that working. So, what command line are you Synchronet BBS operators using to connect to the Gold Mine server?

    Thanks!

No matter what i do I get a lot of undefined value errors so I am guessing there is something i need to update in rlogin.js? s is not defined, a is not defined, p is not defined. Where do I define them? Thanks for writing back. What is the startup directory in scfg as well what door file type do i pick? or do I? lol.

    Here's the refernce for the ?rlogin command:

    https://wiki.synchro.net/module:rlogin

    important ?rlogin switches are:
    -p (which sends user alias & pw in the order Gold Mine expects)
    -q (optional, quiet mode, e.g. no banner or pause prompt)
    -t (optional, allows you to send a direct launch XTRN code, like -t
    xtrn=MRC)

    ./scfg is located in the exec/ dir, so probably sbbs/exec.
    Direct launch codes are listed at goldminebbs.com.

    I cannot use any -x (pipe commands without getting errors) so i just left them out and used this line
    ?rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 only and now my callers can get to your bbs. I just experimented with and without combinations of pipes and all -s -a [AAA] additions caused errors. so just using ?rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 works great
    Thanks and have a great day. I put a notice on my BBS to direct my callers there. I hope to spend a lot of time enjoying the Goldmine! Have great day. Rixter

    Here's the refernce for the ?rlogin command:

    https://wiki.synchro.net/module:rlogin

    important ?rlogin switches are:
    -p (which sends user alias & pw in the order Gold Mine expects)
    -q (optional, quiet mode, e.g. no banner or pause prompt)
    -t (optional, allows you to send a direct launch XTRN code, like -t xtrn=MRC)

    ./scfg is located in the exec/ dir, so probably sbbs/exec.
    Direct launch codes are listed at goldminebbs.com.


    This looks very cool. Going to give it a go this weekend!

    No, I am on Linux.

    Okay, but I doubt anyone else is doing that, and they have a [TAG] displayed in front of their Username. Just wondering why mine isn't working, and what other (Synchronet) users are using for their command line...

    I am running synchronet 3.19b and when i try this command i get Javascript rlogin.js line 7:reference error: P is not defined.

    You're just running an old rlogin.js.

    are there changes somewhere else I need to make? to define the s and p values? In the scfg what are the settings for startup directory

    The startup directory doesn't matter (has no impact) when running .js scripts from SBBS.

    and using
    native executables and such. I tried using the other command string in the scfg rlogin.js 143.198.58.173:2513 -s [TLB]%A -c %A -q and i get similar error messages that q or a is not defined. Where do i define them?

    You don't define them, the script defines them. I'm not sure why you have multiple %A values on that command-line. That doesn't look right.

    that would be great thank you. No matter what i do I get a lot of undefined value errors so I am guessing there is something i need to update in rlogin.js? s is not defined, a is not defined, p is not defined. Where do I define them? Thanks for writing back. What is the startup directory in scfg as well what door file type do i pick? or do I? lol.

    You don't define them, the script defines them. You need an updated version of the scrit. And the startup directory and "door file type" don't matter (aren't used) for JS scripts.

    I believe it is working for me; I think I may also have -q on my command line now.

    Just logged in and my tag is displayed in front of my user name. At top
    of menu on Gold Mine.

    I know there was working rlogin to add some arguments, so don't know if I have a later version of the rlogin.js I keep things pretty updated.

    Aug 17 th is the date on my rlogin module.

    Errol,
    Do you notice that when you try to open some of the doors on the Goldmine that the door does not open but instead goes back to the door selection menu on the goldmine? I tried it on your BBS tonight and noticed it does the same thing on my BBS. I had one of my callers point this out to me. I hope you are doing well. Let me know if you noticed this too.

    I did see it on area 2 game 2 I believe. So i does happen from my bbs also.

    So probably need to inquire with the maintainer of Gold Mine. No certain if he monitors this echo or not; have so many I cannot recall which I have seen him in recently.

    I'll check my emails, and if I have his email will email him directly.

    And what door codes you are using? You can also reach me on Netmail.

    Hi,
    They look like callers from my bbs. I am Rixter-ricky sutphin. Every thing is working great now. Thanks! I cannot use the [tag] option because anything after the port number in the launch command comes back to me as undefined and it terminates the connection with goldmine. My version of r login doesn’t allow tag or -a -p -etc command pipe. They are all undefined. Previously about half the doors on the gold mine would just not open and would instantly go back to the goldmine door menu. Now they all work. Thanks. Every thing is ok now.

    Try "xtrn=" in lower case. I've noticed that perhaps something may have changed in a recent commit - not 100% sure but changing everything to lower case when passing this seems to work. I'll dig in more!

    FYI, nothing has changed in Synchronet. looking at the docs, it's always
    been lower case "xtrn=". I'm running the latest pull from the repo and
    it's all working as expected.

    I think the biggest stumbling point for setting up GM is if you don't have
    a BBS built-in menu action that provides rlogin, and you need to use a
    shell script or door. Windows has the excellent RMDOOR with Rlogin mode
    (WWIV, Renegade, etc.). Linux has old insecure RLOGIN or
    rsh-redone-client, which i find a bit wonky.

    Doing more testing on a custom/native linux connector, hope to make that available in usable form soon so it's an out-of-the-box experience,
    end-to-end.

    Someone else will probably remember the name of the git.. but git the source code manager was written because someone copied perforce (a proprietary source code management tool that Linus was using for the Linux kernel, on the condition no one made a opensource free version of it) I think it was the guy of samba fame? that did it, but perforce got mad and Linus put together git in a hurry to replace it - I think it was called git because of the guy who made the opensource perforce tool.

    My memory isn't as good as it used to be, but I think that was what happened.. a google search would probably correct me :P
