I have updated FSXnet hub 2 to the newest pre alpha . Let me know if there are any issues . here is a snip of the what in new . Notice there is now a command line shut down ...

+ MIS will now shutdown if a "mis.shutdown" Semaphore file exists in the
semaphore directory. MIS may take up to 10 seconds before it notices the
semaphore and begins to shutdown.

+ The "mis shutdown" command now uses this shutdown Semaphore file instead of
OS-level functions. This means that the shutdown command will now work in
Windows.

+ New ANSI viewer has now replaced the old one. The new one has a few new
features most notably is that is uses the newer template system and also
can load varible sized ANSIs in a virtual canvas space. What does that
mean? It means for example you can load a 160 column ANSI while you're
only in 80 columns and then use the left/right arrows, the new TAB view,
or new page left/right functions to scroll around the file. A new second
percentage/graph bar is provided for X axis bars in addition to the
existing Y axis in the old viewer.

Other new features include prompting for the baud rate when pressing SPACE
to show file as a traditional scroller. The defaults for columns and baud
can be set by template or overridden by menu command options.

The format for the GV menu command has changed very slightly to also conform
to newer standards used within Mystic BBS:

Command: GV ANSI File Viewer
Data: <viewer template>;<filename> [options]

The following options can be used:

/END : Causes file to begin displaying at the end of the ANSI
/COLS=x : Override default columns to render the file (ie /cols=160)
/BAUD=x : Set default baud rate when scroller viewing (ie /baud=19200)

Example:

Command: GV
Data: ansiview;my160columnansifile /cols=160 /end

New default templates have been provided and should be copied into your
themes when upgrading: ansiview.ini and ansiview.ans. These replace the
old ansiviewer.ans in the default installation.

Changed the default ANSI file view on the Demo menu to now use a 132 column
ANSI done by BBS advocate and otherwise sick ass artist Smooth (A rendition
of the Mistigris logo which is also a great group of creative people check
all of them out if you never have)

+ The ANSI archive viewer template (archive_view.ini) has a new option in
the [Options] stanza called "viewer" which sets the viewer template to use
when calling the ANSI file viewer (defaults to ansiview if undefined)

It looks like even more changes / new stuff in the latest preAlpha dated 7/3/21 10:36pm.

+ Input barrier options have been added to Theme editor > Options

+ Themes now have a Color Mode option which can be set to one of three
options:

None : Do nothing when theme is loaded
Blinking : Set remote terminal to use blinking colors
iCE : Set remote terminal to use iCE colors

Whenever a theme is loaded or changed, Mystic will attempt to set the
color mode if one has been selected. Whether or not these actually work
will depend on the terminal the user is connected with.

+ New MCI code: CD This MCI code resets the remote terminal to the default
color mode set in the current theme.

+ Themes now have a Font Mode option which can be set to one of the following
values/options:

0 - None > Do nothing when theme is loaded
1 - Default > Sends the "set default font" sequence
2 - IBM CP437 > Switch to IBM CP437 font
3 - Topaz > Switch to Amiga Topaz
4 - Topaz+ > Switch to Amiga Topaz Plus
5 - MicroKnight > Switch to Amiga MicroKnight
6 - MicroKnight+ > Switch to Amiga MicroKnight+
7 - mo'sOul > Switch to Amiga mo'sOul
8 - p0t NOoDLE > Switch to Amiga p0t NOoDLE

Whenever a theme is loaded, Mystic will attempt to set the remote terminal
to use this font (or do nothing when set to None). Whether or not this
actually works depends on the terminal being used. Some terminals will not
work at all, some will switch to an Amiga font but possibly not the one
selected, and so on.

+ New MCI code TF resets the terminal font to the theme's default font setting

+ The fallback setting for a theme has been split into separate fallback
settings for text files, menu files, prompts, and scripts. When enabled for each specific category, the theme will fall back to the default theme if it cannot find a menu, prompt, script or text file.

If you ever changed the fallback setting in a theme from its default then
go into your themes and make sure these settings are set the way you want
them to be set.

+ Mystic Python and MPL have had their fallback variables prefixed with a
P, T, M, or S for each fallback type. The default bulletin.mps will need
a minor update in the variable name or you can copy over the new default.

+ New MCI code SFxx where XX is a font number to switch to in 2-digit format
for example SF07 would set the font to Amiga mo'sOul. The number
corresponds to the same number used to define default font in the theme
configuration:

1 - Default > Sends the "set default font" sequence
2 - IBM CP437 > Switch to IBM CP437 font
3 - Topaz > Switch to Amiga Topaz
4 - Topaz+ > Switch to Amiga Topaz Plus
5 - MicroKnight > Switch to Amiga MicroKnight
6 - MicroKnight+ > Switch to Amiga MicroKnight+
7 - mo'sOul > Switch to Amiga mo'sOul
8 - p0t NOoDLE > Switch to Amiga p0t NOoDLE

+ Mystic's ANSI viewer will now read column information from a SAUCE v5 record if one exists, and this will override the default columns set by the viewer template.

+ Mystic's ANSI viewer will now attempt to read font information from a
SAUCE v5 record. If a default font is defined for the current theme then
Mystic will switch fonts to the font type appropriate to view the file and
then reset back to the theme's default font upon exit of the viewer.

+ Mystic's ANSI viewer will now attempt to load an Amiga specific template
when viewing files that have an Amiga font defined for them in a SAUCE v5
record. This is done by appending "_amiga" to the template name so if the
template is "ansiview" then Mystic will first try to load the
"ansiview_amiga" template before loading "ansiview" if it does not exist.

+ Mystic's ANSI viewer will now attempt to read color information from a SAUCE v5 record. If a color mode is found and if a default color mode is defined for the current theme, then Mystic set the color mode of the file upon loading the viewer and then restore the theme's color mode upon exit.

+ [ and ] keys now work in the ANSI viewer to do page left/right while viewing large column ANSI files.
