I am trying to install DDLM on my bbs, but I am showing 2 errors in the terminal server log in the control panel:

!JavaScript C:\sbbs\exec\loginDD.js line 5: SyntaxError: invalid regular expression flag D
4/5 03:31:33p Node 1 !ERROR[x1282] 2 (No such file or directory) (WinError 0) in exec.cpp line 649 (sbbs_t::js_execfile) compiling "C:\sbbs\exec\loginDD.js" access=0

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

At first I was going to ask if you could post your loginDD.js (due to the error about the invalid regular expression flag), but then, the next error seems to suggest you don't have a loginDD.js - do you?

I do have a loginDD.js

//login.js

//Login module for Synchronet BBS v3.1

load("../xtrn/DigDist/DDLoginMatrix.js", "digdist/answer");

I just realized I had 2 " after the 1st parenthesis, so I changed that. I also see that I don't really need the 1st 2 lines, but thought they wouldn't matter.

If there is something else I'm missing, please let me know. Thanks

I am no longer getting the 1st error, but I am still getting the error:
!ERROR in printfile.cpp line 291 (sbbs_t::menu) checking "C:\sbbs\text\menu\digdist\answer.msg" access=0

For the 2nd parameter, instead of "digdist/answer", if you change it to "answer", hopefully that should fix it. For "digdist/answer" to work, you'd need a directory in sbbs/text called "digdist", which I doubt you have. There should be an answer.msg in sbbs/text; it would display that answer message for non-ANSI users.

Thanks, Nightfox. I have now changed it to point to the correct place. Hopefully that will fix it.

Well that part is working, but now I get a different error.
!DDLoginMatrix: Failed to run image to sixel conversion program (c:\program files\imagemagick\magick.exe). Either the path is wrong of ImageMagick is not installed.

ImageMagick is installed where shown above. I think I must have something else is wrong in my setup. My current DDLoginMatrix.cfg concerning imagemagick is:

PathToImgToSixelConv=c:\program files\imagemagick\magick.exe

Greg, I'm getting the same error, did you ever find an answer? I've got the same setting as you for ImageMagick.

I fixed it by downloading version 6.9... of imagemagick and it seems to be working now. Also change "magick.exe" to convert.exe

On Linux, at least, the ImageMagick sixel converter is called convert. I honestly haven't tried the sixel stuff on Windows. I just looked it up and it sounds like recent versions of ImageMagick for Windows have replaced the convert with magick.exe. But it looks like during the installation, there is an option to install legacy tools such as convert - If you can, can you see if that option is available? If so, maybe you can use the convert that would get installed as part of that process.

My login matrix may need some updating to use magick.exe to convert sixels on Windows.

I run my BBS on Linux, and for Linux, the ImageMagick executable is called convert. It sounds like for Windows, recent versions of ImageMagick have replaced convert.exe with magick.exe, and I suspect it may have a different syntax which may be causing it to fail on Windows. I'll have to make an update to make it work with magick.exe.

I also saw that during installation of ImageMagick on Windows, there may be an option to install legacy tools such as convert.exe. If you have a chance, could you try re-installing ImageMagick and see if that option is available? If so, maybe the convert.exe will work on Windows.

I gave that a try, there is no "convert.exe" in the legacy tools. I do have it trying to run magick.exe, but still run into that error. Yeah and I am running Windows 11.

I clicked the checkbox to install legacy options, but it did not install cconvert.exe so I just downloaded an older version (6.9???)

I've made an update which should fix this (and includes support for the fully-pathed binary with spaces, at least on Windows for now). Try this:

http://www.digitaldistortionbbs.com/files/BBS/SYNC_JS/DDLM_128.zip


You should just need to replace the .js (DDLoginMatrix.js) on your system.
