  • BBS Door game Plinko Version 1.14

    From Rixter@VERT/RICKSBBS to all on Friday, August 30, 2024 08:52:45
    I have recently set up a door game on my BBS called Plinko V1.14 from Carlton
    Software. I got it from the bbsfiles.com section. I really like this game. I
    noticed whether you win or lose it disconnects rather than going back to the
    door menu. Does anyone have this issue as well? I know there are some logoff
    games if you lose but this game was not advertised as a log off game. I was
    curious to learn if anyone else has this issue. Maybe it is not an issue. 99.9
    percent of door games return to the doors menu instead of disconnecting the
    caller. At the end if even notifies that it is returning to the BBS. Then it
    disconnects the caller. It is a fun game though.

    The Synchronet Virtual UART/FOSSIL driver is configurable in regards to allowing the external program to disconnect or not. See https://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbsexec.ini
    for details.
    Tip: Set CanDisconnect=false
