Version history

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.
