  • Setting up door game server

    From Diamond Dave@1:103/705 to All on Fri Jan 16 18:38:37 2026
    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

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