The only way I have ever gotten it to work, was to (in the doors menu) use the Telnet command to /addr=0.0.0.0 /port=2002, where 0.0.0.0 is the local address TW2002 is running on.

they're running the door, not the game server.

Are you loading netfoss before the batch file?

Yes..

Can you post that command line?

Is it registered? Are you trying from node 1? If it's not registered, I
don't think you can use any other node. Are other door games working?

I'd really suggest the game server vs. the door if you want more configurable games.

dosxtrn
netfoss

Trying to run it as a door. Here is my current batch file that works on RA and Proboard.

@echo off
c:
cd c:\mystic\doors\tw
TW2002 TWNODE=%1
exit

I have the node setup for the right directories in TEDIT.

Do you have hardware handshaking set to no and I/O Type set to Fossil? Port should be your normal port (I use 1) and node should be active. I use DOOR
as the dropfile type.

It runs on mine, but only NODE1. Could never get it to work on nodes 2-5.

Those instructions were for accessing a TW2002 server (already running) via
the Telnet command on Mystic. I see no sense in also running a 'Door'

ECHO OFF C: cd \doors\tw2002 tw2002.exe TWNODE=%1 cd\mystic\exit

So everyone has only got TW to work on the Windows version of Mystic? Just trying to confirm.

Thank you!! -Karl
