Hello Digital Man!

I'm trying to auto install ALL the Solomoriah's War games, but only get the War on Earth one only. How do I get the rest of them? Synchronet 3.21e Linux.

Thanks,
Sabre

Hello Digital Man!

I'm trying to auto install ALL the Solomoriah's War games, but only get the War on Earth one only. How do I get the rest of them? Synchronet 3.21e Linux.

If you install it using the install-xtrn.js module, it'll prompt for each "version" of the game:

$ jsexec -C install-xtrn war/install-xtrn.ini

JSexec v3.21f-Linux master/bb760f200 Debug - Execute Synchronet JavaScript Module

Install Solomoriah's WAR! on Earth into Games section (Y/n)? y
External Program (Solomoriah's WAR! on Earth) installed successfully
Install External Program: Solomoriah's WAR! on Alderon (Y/n)?

I think the issue might just be that xtrn-setup.js doesn't support multiple games ("progs") per xtrn/install-xtrn.ini file. I'll have to try that way too.

jsexec -C install-xtrn c:\sbbs\xtrn\war/install-xtrn.ini

I ran this and it did load all the games, both on my Windows and Linux systems. Thanks!
