  • Setting up door game server

    From Diamond Dave@VERT/DMINE to All on Friday, January 16, 2026 18:38:37
    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 quite helpful!)

    I set up the modopts.ini file as directed so it is supposed to go directly to the door menu. But before it does that, it displays the "splash" screen and also shows the bulletins. How can I stop those from appearing and just 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

    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. Why, are you seeing something different?

    So I added the line rlogin_xtrn_logon = false to the modopts.ini file

    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

    Whatever came stock with 3.20d - but I'll download the one you provided in the link.
