Tillek Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hopefully the hang-over wasn't too bad Unfortunately, the memory issues have nothing to do with that. That's a life thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 After re-constructing MAIN, ROBOEDIT and ROBOWAR, I have found some errors in those files. As soon as Tillek can get me what he has we'll know for sure. I modified ATR Tools by adding a "Detokenize on Demand" feature where you can click on a character in a file using the "View as Binary" option after "View File" (to get the variables used) and then it will show you the detokenized result of a single line. It's not a complete restore / fix yet, but with a little help, we'll get there I'm copying it now... sorry for the delay. My place is so disorganized right now (getting it organized this holiday weekend ended up being an epic fail) and I can't find the original disks... but I'm copying it from the working MODSEC. It includes my simple menus, so MAIN.TXT is the main menu A is the MAIN from Robowar. I'm also including Zenobia. It'll be on a HD partition ATR... (I'm still cloudy on file transfer between the A8 and PC... it's been awhile but it will come back to me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Ok... Let me know if this works for you. As soon as I can track down the original RoboWar disks, I can archive those for you as well. (They're here somewhere, I've seen them recently but I boxed up a bunch of stuff to try to make some space to organize the junk). It's a 16mb HD image ATR so if that doesn't work let me know.

Tillek Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 For anyone interested.... the Veteran Adventurer's Guild can be reached (for now) at bbs.sfhqbbs.org port 4444. It's not 100% where I want it, but it's stable enough for people to call. Enjoy! The games are in a sig called "The Arena" (keyword games). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tillek Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Tillek, you should post this in the BBS section as well I think it's a safe bet that since this thread has been towards the top long enough, anyone who cares enough to actually call has already been following it. Plus it's silly to really promote it on a temporary address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 For anyone who was interested but got a problem with validating your email address...... I fixed the bug so it won't do that anymore. (Originally, that was your "real" address field... which had to be 20 characters or more to "validate", so I fixed that). Thanks to those who have checked it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) I am having this strange corruption issue with WAITCALL. I use xedit to disable MOE's fiddling with cursor controls, make the changes, and save it. Do I need to reboot without MOE to make changes? WTF????? See attached pic for example of corruption. I used my iPhone to take a pic of the real monitor, this is not emulation. Keep in mind that I have not yet received the RTime8 that I ordered yet. This is really strange. Edit: Look at line 25002 and 30000. I hit break when I saw the first F<ctrl-Q>K sequence. Upon further inspection, there is the same strange string in 30155 twice. Could my original files be corrupted, is this a MOE/clock thing, or possibly hardware? Ideas welcome. Edited March 5, 2017 by Kyle22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 It looks like the Variable Name Table has been modified or corrupted. Is this Carina 2.6 or 2.7? Couldn't hurt to post the Waitcall file too for verification... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 There's lots of it all over. I'm going to back to square one with this to be certain nothing else is damaged. I'm going to replace all files in >MODULE> with originals, then try to remember what all I had to do to make it work with LANTronix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopeyman06 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'm interested in running a Carina II BBS using the Atari800MacX emulator..... How can I get a working emulator copy of Carina II? And what would the preference settings be for said emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triads Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) Carina 2.7 atrs, which are disks 1, 2, & 7. These atrs are set up for D1, D2, & D7 which can be changed with some editing. I believe D7 was setup as a backup disk for the password file etc.. There is also a pdf of the manual here as well. - https://archive.org/details/CarinaIIBBSManual As for this working on a Mac i couldn'ty tell ya. Good luck Edited January 11, 2021 by Triads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some kind of carrier detect issue with M.O.E. If I do this: 100 STATUS #2,X:?PEEK(747):GOTO 100 The value changes depending if I have an active telnet connection to the Lantronix (as it should). but If I have M.O.E. turned on, it never changes. Carina never sees carrier so it sits at the wait screen. Has anyone gotten Carina to work with telnet? I got Carina working with a Lantronix UDS1100 and a UDS2100. You need to make some changes to waitcall. Now I've got it working with FujiNet, which is a lot better. As for Jerry, he's around on the 'net. I asked him if he had source code for Moe and he said probably not, but even if he did, we need to go through Dave Hunt (The Shadow) as he is the one who owns the rights. I'm working on getting in touch with Dave. Best, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bf2k+ Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I have Carina working under Atari800Win 2.5c and Altirra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I was able to get in touch with Dave before I put up TVAG mostly to "ask his blessing". He said he was fine with anyone running it and distributing the archive but made it clear he didn't really want anything more to do with it. I even asked him a simple question later about whether the ANSI was fully implemented since on my copy it looked like it was, but then disabled within the code... I never got a response. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to do anything to Carina or the settings in Altirra to get Carina working in Altirra? I'm playing around with the copy of Carina from Amis' site, but Carina won't answer incoming calls. I tested Altirra with BBS Express and it answers incoming calls just fine, so I'm fairly certain I have Altirra configured ok and my port opened fine for outside connections. But when Carina is sitting at the waiting for call screen, it doesn't answer when I dial in from my other separate machine. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when Carina is sitting at the waiting for call screen, it doesn't answer when I dial in from my other separate machine. Thanks. IN Altirra it is important to turn off the default option that freezes the machine when the window it lives in is not in the foreground. I run Carina II on a physical 130xe with Fujinet. I know the code better than I know any other code, have written for/modified Carina since the early 90's. Carina is waiting for a string from the 'modem'. It looks for "CONNECT" and then trims the end five bytes of that string, which needs to be the DTE to DTE baudrate. IE: CONNECT 2400, CONNECT 300, or 1200 or 19200. It converts those values to Atari 850 serial commands and sets the DCE to DTE baudrate and starts welcoming the calling party to the bbs. Carina uses DTR to pick up and drop the line, so the virtual rs232 device should be so configured as should the virtual modem to which it is 'connected'. I modified the Waitcall to work with Fujinet. You can get the distribution from Thomas Cherryholmes (or at least a link). I'd put a post up on the Atari 8-bit COmputers facebook forum. Holler if you want me to package it up again. I did once for Thomas and another fellow on that facebook page. Best, Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
