The Major BBS Forums

I have been trying to install the latest majorbbs v10 beta and keep getting this error betrieve open error 20 on file WGSMENU2.dat
I opened the menu editor and it all looks fine,i ran the offline utilities disable modules and there wasnt any that needed to be removed like in the text in the install
any help please

There is likely to be two reasons:

1 - You haven't set wgsappgo.exe to run as an administrator as required.

2 - The MKDE process is staying open for some reason after you shut the BBS down and try to re-open it. You can manually kill it via task manager.

I am banking on reason 1 which is commonly missed when setting up for the first time.

hello
yes you are right about the apgo and wow its been a long time since i setup a board from scratch.
now that its running it looks very simular to the 3.20 WG
Next i want to try to get mud working if I can find the installs and mod installs,will mud work on this version and my computer is 64 bit?
Thanks for your help

ok I got mud installed and working but with one problem in the config area there is no mmud showing so i can add my codes its in demo mode now and working fine
is there a file maybe thats missing that puts in the area for the codes? I was wondering is the area you put the codes in maybe in the mmud.dll?

Crash on me the first time I use it. Just shuts down and leaves the log window open.
After running as Admin, I got a boot screen with the main console the second time. A few minutes later it crashed again.
One thing is for sure the first fix I see is window scaling needs work. I try to make the window larger I get garbage.
My Old Version 1.01 works fine under Windows XP with Dan's Packet Driver. And I can go Fullscreen with ALT+Enter.
Good Luck with the Development of Version 10.

MMUD activation codes are entered in-game under the Sysop menu.

the mud codes cant be entered under the sysop menu ,thats for addon modules only
I found a messge about this from 2020 where the WGSCNF.exe wont show the mud code areas the reply was its under WGSCNF-L3 whatever that is

you can edit the file manually WGSMMUD.MSG and under LEVEL3 enter your game code and mmud-plus code if wgscnf is not giving it to you.

Hello
Thanks again
Editing the WGSMMUD.MGS worked.
Hopefully the problem with the mud configs no showing up can be fixed
