Greetings All,

I've noticed that a lot of Door games will have a final screen or some text after you exit and I'd like the system to pause so it can be seen.

Pause After Execution doesn't seem to work. I've tried Doors that use both .exe and .bat files in the command line.

Here is my LORD scfg:

Name Legend of the Red Dragon
Internal Code LORD4A
Start-up Directory ..\xtrn\lord4
Command Line lord.exe %# NORIP /DREW
Clean-up Command Line
Execution Cost
Access Requirements
Execution Requirements
Multiple Concurrent Users Yes
Intercept I/O No
Native Executable No
Use Shell to Execute No <-(yes when using .bat)
Modify User Data No
Execute on Event No
Pause After Execution Yes
BBS Drop File Type GAP DOOR.SYS
Place Drop File In Node Directory

No mater what I try, none of the externals will Pause. Double checked my Pause settings, if that matters, and Pause is On.

Sync v3.17 (8/23/17)

Thanks,

-=U13=-

I think there is a Synchronet user setting to pause before clearscreens or something similar. You might want to check your user settings. Another thing you could possibly do is edit your command shell and write a function for executing an external program that pauses after running it.

The "Pause After Execution" option is implemented in exec/xtrn_sec.js via these 2 lines:

if(prog_list[i].settings&XTRN_PAUSE)
bbs.line_counter=2; /* force a pause before CLS */

If this isn't working, trying changing those 2 lines to this instead:

if(prog_list[i].settings&XTRN_PAUSE)
console.pause(); /* force a pause before CLS */

The terminal console output logic in Synchronet will force a screen-pause before a clear-screen if the line_counter value is > 1, but there might've been a change somewhere that's caused that logic in the script to stop working as intended.
