Troy Perry's Match Maker 3

[unright]

This is a shot in the dark..

I downloaded the new TNM7SEBuild 8 from the TNM7 website and I'm pretty happy since it can finally run some of the plugins I missed (like Weight Class Wizard). It got me nostalgic for a old plugin I liked, Troy Perry's Match Maker 3. Amazingly I found it, and even installed it, but like I kinda expected it crashes DosBox. After seeing the intros were disabled, I figured one of the limitations of DosBox is that it can only run one program at a time (I figure the intros were a separate program for some reason). Does anyone know a way or workaround to run MM3 (or knows how it works)?

I have the source code to that plugin, and from first glance, there are a couple of bugs in the code (GOTOing somewhere from inside a loop, then GOTOing back to the loop initialization) that cause a stack overflow in the emulator. Native DOS was a lot more tolerant to problems like this particular one.

Unfortunately, legally I can't touch the source code without Troy's permission.

Only just found this thread so my apologies for such a late reply ..

I was self-taught, which led to me teaching myself a lot of bad habits back in the day. The whole FOR - GOTO - NEXT looping nonsense being just one of them. I seem to recall Oliver pointing it out to me too at some point. Anyhow, if you really want to touch that clustermess Lyger, please feel free. You have my full permission to touch any of my TNM code from back then.
