Version history

1.4.1 (2026-10-29)

  • The server takes a BBS key (or register) from either rlogin field. Mystic's IR menu command sends its user and password fields the other way round from Synchronet's ?rlogin, and now works as it is. See linking a Mystic BBS.

1.4 (2026-10-29)

  • BBS sign-up keys. Other BBSes sign up for a key through their rlogin door (server user name register) and link from anywhere without asking first. The door sends the key as the server user name.
  • Players from a BBS with a key have accounts named <name>@<TAG>, so the same name on two BBSes is two players.
  • Console: bbs, bbs add, bbs newkey, bbs disable, bbs enable, bbs remove.
  • New settings BBSSignup and PublicAddress; RLoginAllow=none means keys only.
  • Sign-ups are limited to 3 a day per address and 20 a day in all.

1.3 (2026-10-28)

  • Player editor: turning Dead off for a killed player now also gives them back their hit points (the game counts 0 hit points as dead, so before this they stayed dead).

1.2 (2026-10-28)

  • The Pawn Shop 3.40 runs. IGMs now see the game as C:\LORD\, as on a DOS BBS, through a directory junction made for each visit. DOSGameDir=C:\ keeps 1.1's layout.
  • An IGM's DOSBox-X can no longer be left running after a player hangs up inside it (Windows job object; the server waits 30 seconds for a game to close).
  • The MSI upgrade no longer removes the dosbox folder.

1.1 (2026-10-28)

  • DOS LORD 4.06 In-Game Modules in Other Places, run in DOSBox-X (included), with LORD Server's own FOSSIL driver, LSFOSSIL.COM.
  • Console commands dos <game> (a DOS prompt in the game folder) and service [install|remove].
  • Start menu items to install and remove the Windows service; the service options self-elevate.
  • MSI upgrades keep a service and firewall rule set up outside the installer.

1.0 (2026-10-28)

  • First release: telnet and rlogin, several games per server, rlogin accounts made automatically, a live console, settings form, config and reset, the Windows service, the installer, the MSI and the zip.
