• Dosemu issue

    From Phil Taylor@1:275/201.1 to All on Wednesday, September 11, 2019 12:26:11
    I am trying to run stacken using Dosemu using the current version of Mystic running on the current version of debian. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue please?




    Command -> S
    Note that DOS needs 25 lines. You might want to enlarge your
    window before continuing.

    Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU or <Ctrl>C to cancel

    I am using this to run the door

    "/mystic/doors/stackem/stackem.bat" %3 /DOS

    I'm using almost the exact command line for dosemu under Debian. The only difference, is I don't have the -t in mine.

    I don't have the game Stackem running here, but if I get a chance, I'll give
    it a shot.

    Stackem.bat file

    c:
    c:\X00\xu port:%1:on
    cd d:\doors\stackem
    stackem.exe STACKEM.CFG \temp%1\doors.sys
    c:
    cd X00
    xu port:%1:off

    I'm using bnu here, and in my batch files, I just run 'bnu' from inside my doors directory.

    I don't remember why, but I do remember having to change to the drive on one line, then change the directory, such as:

    d:
    cd doors\stackem\

    I'm not sure if that helps much...

    dosemu -t -I"serial { com 1 virtual }" "/mystic/doors/stackem/stackem.bat" %3 /DOS

    I removed the -t and how do I stop this annoying message from being displayed please?

    I haven't seen that one before. I'm really not sure what to tell you...

    You might want to take a look at your dosemu.conf file, and see if there is a setting in there to force the window size to 25 lines. That's about all I can think of, off the top of my head...

    You need to precede your dosemu command with stty cols 80 rows 25. So your command should look like this:

    stty cols 80 rows 25 && dosemu -I"serial { com 1 virtual }" "game.bat %3" /DOS

    There is setting but I am not which one to use or what to change it to?

    # initial size factor for video mode 0x13 (320x200)

    # $_X_mode13fact = (2)

    # "x,y" of initial windows size (defaults to ""=float)

    # $_X_winsize = ""

    look at my paste link for my myemu script in the other echo where you posted...

    do not use a FOSSIL if you do not have to...


    @echo off
    CD \doors\stackem
    stackem stackem.cfg d:\temp%1\door.sys


    [edit]
    here's the paste link again so others can also have easy access to the script...

    Question do you have any in your dosemu.conf for the display size?

    put it in your script as you have already been pointed to numerous times... you
    have even been pointed to a working script to execute your DOS doors via... it
    operates in similar fashion to those door usage stats tools and one can use the log from the script to create door usage stats...
