I'm in the process of setting up a dedicated door game server with Synchronet, using the directions on the Wiki page (which are actually qui

te

helpful!)

I set up the modopts.ini file as directed so it is supposed to go directl

y

to the door menu. But before it does that, it displays the "splash" scree

n

and also shows the bulletins. How can I stop those from appearing and jus

t

have the user go straight to the door menu?

Yes, that's what the [logon] rlogin_xtrn_logon modopts setting controls. https://wiki.synchro.net/module:logon

Does that also turn off Bullseye bulletins? Or is that a separate thing I need to turn off?

It turns off all the logon event stuff, that includes Bullseye Bulletins. Wh

y,

are you seeing something different?

So I added the line rlogin_xtrn_logon = false to the modopts.ini file (because it didn't exist) and it still displays the logon sequence.

I did disable the bullseye in the external events by setting the event from "logon" to "no" and that stopped that from displaying.

But a partial logon sequence runs before sending you to the doors menu.

In the [logon] section?

(because it didn't exist) and it still displays the logon sequence.

What version of logon.js do you have?

The rlogin_xtrn_logon option was added 9 months ago: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/3cd0394caaee67343bd1a58091b0df
