Re: WTB: Major BBS v6.25 and Major BBS TCP
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2020 6:30 pm
OK guys I found some more bugs and this is what I'm troubleshootin. I really feel like I'm getting into the insides of this puppy. I used Major BBS a lot on the other stuff or at least I thought I did. MAN You guys got me going into places and seeing things I never seen before! LOL It's good I'm learning alot. I'm wondering if I should post these here in my WTB thread (I still want to buy Virecom working legal) or open a new thread on the Major BBS DOS section?
Anywho here's the two problems I see so far.
Major BBS GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT with ICO installed error (Prob #1):

In step 39 of Duckmans new instructions the last two things say:
Set continue after GP error to YES
Set reboot after GP error to NO
If I set continue after GP error to NO Major BBS writes out this in GP.OUT: https://pastebin.com/raw/1UMdpJyp
FTP Server crashes Major BBS with ICO (Prob #2):
I use the FTP server to upload files to Major BBS in the VM and get files from the VM (same with Virecom TCP) but with ICO the FTP server causes one of two crashes after I enter my password and press enter.
1st crash - Major BBS totally hangs and I have to reboot the VM for it to work again. When this happens it shows Fatal error 286:2140: Bad API call "MAJORBBS.975" at 2FBF:1FA2 at the BBS console and that makes it unresponsive.
2nd crash - Major BBS starts scrolling all kinds of errors on the screen raelly fast on the BBS console and I have to reboot the VM again to get it to stop.

I would get Questman a GP.OUT for this but since I have to turn on continue on GP error to get the ICO to work Major BBS doesn't make one and if I turn off continue on GP error then I can't get threw prob #1.
Not sure what to do for that?
Thanks again for everything you guys are the BEST and with just a little more work I think we can get IOC working GREAT!! I used to write programs in vidual basic and I was thinking of maybe trying to make a Major BBS VGA game like DOOM but more RPG like if we can get this working good. It would be more of a winter project than right now but it is something I think I might want to do. I need to work more on the programming side of Major BBS so I downloaded all of the programmer information from the website. Thanks for giving that out too!
