Hi everybody out there!
As I've just started with the TBBS software, I'm very curious to what's out
there of good doors.
When I saw the MovieMUI distribution had a TransAmiga door in it, I thought
that I might as well translate it to TechnoBBS. It was very easy, took me
only a couple of hours, and this is the result. I've drawn some nice
menu's instead of the old ones (I hate monocrome :-), and then I've tidyed
up in the code a bit, no need for multiple arexx commands on one line, it
just makes it more difficult to read.
To install it, just extract the archive in your BBS: drawer. I've assumed
you have a 'doors' drawer in it, but there's no reason why it couldn't go
anywhere else. In the top of the script, there's some configuration
settings. This tells the script where the menu's are, and whether it
should quit MovieMUI after use. The old script just quit MovieMUI if it
was set, but I use an environment variable to see if there are other users
(on a multiline BBS) that uses MovieMUI at the moment. You should also
configure where the script can find MovieMui, and what to call the temp
file it uses.
I've installed MovieMUI in my doors menu with this:
Command "movie" (N:1) {
dos("rx >NIL: Doors:mdb/mdb.rexx \(node())");
};
That's just about it, have fun...
