Telnet/Rlogin question
I have a question about the telnet and rlogin clients in WG 3.2. Is there any way to assign a name to the connection so that the destination shows up in the user list instead of just saying"Telnet client"? I know with Vircom you could add #modname to the command line and thats what would show up, but that doesn't seem to work with the 3.2.

the ICO package i been working on actually has its own listing interface that shows whatever you have it set to display.
You mean to change the application name in the mdf file? That would change the module name for all connections, right? That's not what I mean. I want to be able to show where the user is rlogined into. For example, if they are rlogined into the Tradewars server, I want it to say Tradewars. If its the Mud server, I want it to say MajorMUD. It was easy with Vircom. You just add #Tradewars to the command line and it will show Tradewars in the userlist. But that doesn't work with ICO.
Questman wrote me back and said there is not currently any way to do that, but it's something that could change in the future (unless you know something he doesn't

)Yeah, I believe questman is correct here. I tried to actually make an individual rlogin application and change the name to each one, using a trick dspain told me about how people could get multiple copies of the same module with a different name on each, it just didn't seem to want to work on this application, unless I did something wrong.......
So, basically what I did was just change the name of the most used connection from rlogin to door game server.
It'd be great if questman can find a way.
Even the DMA client on wg nt doesn't work with the name feature like it does on dos.

this can be changed by writing a similiar command line in the GALRLGN module example -M<text>, i already wrote similiar tweaks to it which allowed different username to be supplied, optional ports, adding a module string would be easy example:Ragtop wrote:You mean to change the application name in the mdf file?

192.168.1.100 -P 2323 -MTradeWars
then adding a replacement to the /# global to use a different method for returning current module.
if you add it as a global command in the rlogin module it would actually take precedence over the core one.
if would have to be added that way to prevent users needing to use a modified wgserver.exe which is where the /# api is stored.
yeah that was a generic quick way never tested it, the way mentioned above will work, just code a command line option.Malakai wrote:Yeah, I believe questman is correct here.

ill play with it when i get a free second.
actually now that i think about it i HAVE tested that method, it just dawned on me, few years ago i took the GALRLGN client filesMalakai wrote:Yeah, I believe questman is correct here.

GALRLGN.DLL GALRLGN.MSG GGALRLGN.DOC GALRLGN.MDF
renamed em all to GALDOOR*.*
edited GALDOOR.MDF to be called Door Games
made a menu page and linked option D from games menu to call module page "Door Games" had it run command line 192.168.1.100 which was a machine with a synchronet server on it.
when typing /# people saw
00 Sysop ........ Door Games
now that wasnt too bad with only wanting to do it with door games
for multiple servers like tw, etc, etc, it would be a huge headache.
but doable.
ill work on the new command system tonight when i get a sec and let ya know, shouldnt take no more than an hour.

ok i just compiled and tested this and it works great!
add this command line to the rlogin client :
-M <text of module, one line>
also can enter an alternate port to connect to by using:
-P # <1-65535>
example, to connect to my door server on port 5151 i use:
192.168.1.100 -P 5151 -M Door_Games
typing /# users will see:
00 Sysop ........ Door_Games
rather than rlogin client.
contact me directly for a copy of this rlogin client.
