Hello all,
Is there a source with a bit more information on how hatching and the auto hatch feature work in mystic?
I setup an ini with autohatch enabled and a couple areas listed. When I run mutil it claims to be hatching, but no tic/flo files are produced.
Also I'm unclear from the wiki, do you have to provide a filename or filespec in addition to the filebase/echotag for it to work appropriately? Is this part of my issue?

Many thanks

I have not used the autohatch feature, so I'm not sure about that.

When mutil tosses files to other nodes it always puts them (the file and the tic) in the target nodes filebox. So each node you want to send files to needs to have a filebox or it fails.

Files and tics are not added to the BSO, the BSO is not used for files and tics, just the filebox.

AHA! That's probably where the problem is. I have not configured fileboxes.

Unfortunately still no joy. Anyone done a walkthrough on hatching with Mystic? --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux

I can help you good sir.

Just let me know to start with what are you trying to hatch and to whom?

If you want to email me your hatch ini and we can go from there :)

Best, Paul

Thank you, sir!
I have managed to get passthrough tossing working with enabling fileboxes, but still am still unable to hatch files. I'm not specifically in need of hatching anything in the moment, but want to understand the process and make sure it works before I have need. I shall fire you off an email.
