• Where to get the Lord and Ambroshia cracks

    From lockery@77:77/10 to Everyone on Fri Oct 30 19:00:14 2020
    Hello, it is nice to see patches/cracks still being made for door games. Can I get direction to where I can download them?

    Thanks

    Well now that Frank is back perhaps once he gets caught up he'll hatch my Ambroshia crack across Scinet. As for LORD maybe I should spend some of my
    free time finally creating a good keygen for it.

    For sure. Did you upload it here? Where can I find this crack you speak of so that I may spread it to the rest of the SciNet nodes.

    I did, should be in your uploads if I'm not mistaken! If it's not there then ping me I'll upload it again.

    A LORD keygen for the Seth era would be slick, especially for those of us
    (like me) that paid for a license back in the day which is no longer recoverable.

    I prefer old LORD due to the attack and defend strength mechanics as well as IGM interaction...the attack/defend changes made IGMs a bit strange.

    Yeah that would be cool. I had LORD, LORD2, and Planets all registered and lost. I never actually tried to recover it though, but I did trade to recover my TW2002 and they wouldn't do it.

    Oddly enough, when I spoke to the TW2002 folks they did give my old key back. Even upgraded me with the gold key. Probably just because I only wanted the
    old 90's one. It's funny when I initially started playing with the BBS stuff again and finding my old doors. I hunted down a few of the authors and when I got in contact with some they had my old keys and even gave me some keys to their other software. A couple others had either sold it all back in the day
    or long lost the information. It's funny, the fact that the JMAIL guy couldn't find his old stuff got me on the path of cracking so I could use it. I ended
    up figuring out how to make a keygen for it along the way. Sadly it's not Y2K compliant so I ended up dropping it for FMAIL. Still got me to cross of my
    nerd bucket list items of writing a keygen and a crack. :D

    I doubt I still have my original LORD & Planets registrations anymore. I remember when I registered LORD back in the day from Seth, I got my code snail mailed to me. It was printed out with a Dot Matrix printer.

    I haven't been up to my Dad's since before covid. I believe I still have a backup of my original Telegard board hidden somewhere in that house.

    The old 90s one was all I wanted. I could care less about anything newer - I want the version that I played as a teenager.

    It was registered in maybe 1993 or 1994 so it was a long time ago. I guess I can't blame them for not having it but it makes me wonder now that you've said you were able to get it.

    Yep - I had the same. There's zero chance that thing exists any more lol.

    Metropolis Gameport is such filth. I've reached out several times asking to
    buy their IP to no avail. And I'd offer more than the IP is worth. Can't even get a reply. Yuck.

    My family has moved a dozen times since I was a kid and my old 386 and
    Pentium desktops that housed my old boards definitely don't exist any more. Sad, I'd be curious to see what they're like.

    Totally different topic here, but g00r00 - I think something is happening
    with message quoting where a space should exist but is being replaced by a \0 or something. Maybe this has something to do with the different terminal size support in the FSE?

    Thanks I know about it, I just haven't had a chance to mess with it yet (which really means I just haven't felt like messing with it yet lol).

    Basically there was an issue with it adding too many spaces when rewrapping quote text so I just removed all cases where it would add anything (which causes a different problem - the one we're seeing now) and then I planned to circle back and fix it. I basically "hit the reset button" on that reformatting lol

    Sweet deal. While I'm at it, I may as well flag another issue I've noticed...sometimes when either column 78 or 79 or whatever contains a space, it results in a dual linefeed on a standard 80x24 screen. This is pretty
    minor IMO but you strike me as a perfectionist and I figured I'd bring it up
    :P

    Also, shit, now I have to make multiple themes for different console sizes!
    And evidently RIP as well hehe.

    You don't have to make a different theme if you didn't want to - you can just use the file naming of display files ie "msg_editor.c132x36.ans" stuff like that.

    Whatever's default (sorry, currently connected via iPad :P) but I'm using a46 still here with default msg_editor.ini config.

    Yeah, it'd be fun to find a way to sneak a couple of easter eggs in there
    based on screen size. But one thing I'd want is a cohesive theme, even if
    it's just *.c132x36.ans type stuff.

    Ok I have done a bunch of behind the scenes stuff to the FS editor in A47 given the terminal sizes, and also did some updates to the logic for various "join" type things, so it might have been fixed already.

    If you update to A47 at some point and see any issues please let me know (or if you have a way to reproduce every time in A46 I can try here on my own).

    I hear you and I agree its a little jarring bouncing back and forth between them. I'm slowly making new 132x36 templates for defaults as *.c132 files so its consistent, but all within the same ugly default theme.

    I'm probably going to finally get rid of the remaining ancient style templates from the 90s and replace with the .ini/ans style for file lists and message lists.

    I either need to do that now, or add prompts that can be defined specifically for certain column sizes. Ideally I'll do both but for now I will pick one or the other and work on it first.

    I've also committed to testing python 3 and dropped the ball on that so I'll get after it this weekend if not sooner. Maybe today :P

    Haha. I love ugly default themes. It forces change!

    Not a bad idea. Mystic really holds the bar for what a proper BBS is in 2020.

    Good call - supporting multiple terminal geometries will require probably a nontrivial number of configuration points than just an ansi. I can see how prompts and even some mods that do wazoo litebar stuff would probably need custom configs based on term geometry.

    Sure no worries if you don't get to it. I haven't really given it a lot of time lately either. I added in "Python2/3" library paths into the system configuration so you can point directly to a libpython3.9.so.1.0 or whatever version you want to use but I haven't tried to see if that matters.

    Haha. I love ugly default themes. It forces change!

    Yep that was always my plan. Lately I've made "newer" templates like the FS editor a little less ugly. Mostly I'll probably just remove the green and blue contrast as I redo stuff.

    I added a termsize() in Python and some variables in MPL to help with that. Once I finally dive in and add in my newer code I plan to add it some pretty advanced screen stuff into MPL/MPY. Mystic's ability to keep a local copy of the remote screen in memory and perform calculated updates (similar to how curses works) is waaayyyy under used and I need to fix that!

    I also have a pretty intense prompt engine that uses .ini format prompt file. Each prompt can have variations for all combinations of emulation types and geometry. So you can make a prompt specifically for XTERM ANSI at column 132 or higher for example, or any combination. It was supposed to be for Mystic 2.0. You can do that sort of thing now but you have to externalize any prompt you want to do that with, with a display file.

    Woah. So we could have popup boxes and dialogs/prompts, and then Mystic could re-paint the details underneath the popup once the dialog box is closed? How did I not know this??? :P

    Neat. Yeah, tbh this feels /sort/ of like a theme, but it's more interesting than simply that since it can react to real time term geometry changes. I
    look forward to messing with this. :P And RIP, if Hawk can school me and
    there are actual artists out there hehe.

    Hmm...how interesting would it be to talk about RIP in NetRunner's future? :P

    Yep. Mystic already does this stuff in some places but its not very noticable unless you're paying very close attention.

    Here's a wierd example but if for example you sent yourself a node message from the main menu and while reading the node message you delete your main menu ANSI, you'll still end up right where you left with a full ANSI menu after leaving the node message.

    Mystic is redisplaying the screen based on its renderer buffer so even though the ANSI is gone it won't actually be missing until the menu redraws. The end game for that system was that in theory there could be a "demo scene" constructed out of ANSI and MPL but I never added the Z buffer or exposed the functions in MPL/MPY.

    I usually end up using some of these wild ideas in some way like redrawing the screen in this case. The ANSI messages started out back in 2001 as collaborative ANSI editor within your BBS message bases.

    Art groups would have a private message base and they'd draw their monthly release directly in the message base. They could give access to other artists who could also edit(draw) to collaborate on the same ANSI. Mystic would then bundle the finished art and generate the groups' monthly art pack for them.

    Art groups died, and that turned into being a scaled down version (ANSI messages and a draw mode in the FS editor).

    Hmm...how interesting would it be to talk about RIP in NetRunner's
    future? :P

    I think it'd be a lot of effort to do considering how little I know about RIP. NetRunner is a pixel engine and thats a terrible way to do a character-based terminal, but it does lend itself to RIP potentially.

    RIP is a rabbit hole like many "new" BBS features are when it comes to display stuff. In order to innovate in a meaningful way it means I have to build the BBS, it means I have to build the terminal, and it means I have to build the editor to create art. And then after that I have to convince groups/artists to want to use it.

    The problem with RIP is that it has no infrastructure. We have one Windows terminal and DOS emulators to paint with.

    The direction I was moving in was 16 million color ANSI with full unicode including recent legacy glpyhs like PETSCII and then up to 6000 custom glyphs per image on top of that.

    http://mysticbbs.com/tta.png

    ^^ Here's an example of a similar 256 color concept with no custom glyphs (160 columns).

    But there is like 1 or 2 art groups and I haven't been involved in any art scene stuff since ACiD-100 so I don't really have the interest I need to do much of anything these days.

    I think I might have found a bug in the latest alpha around this exact topic.

    When using the FS editor there is a line across the bottom that indicates the end of the message. This line drops down a line after a line of text has been completed (it's doing it right now as I type). If I activate the spell checker, the word suggestion box comes up, over the line, and when I'm done the line is redrawn. That works all fine until I get beyond the terminal size, in my case 25 line and everything gets pushed up. The end of message line is fine and moves as I type but if I bring up the spell checker now, once I am done with it, the middle of the end of message line isn't redrawn, there is a gap it in.

    Clear as mud?

    Thanks I will take a look at this. Now that I think about it I don't think I really tested the FS editor and spell checking in Linux only in Windows, so there is probably a bug in my Unix-specific code somewhere.

    Yeah pretty much lol. If I can't figure out an issue just by messing around in the editor on my Ubuntu box I might need you to try to reexplain it all to me!

    I did try for a little bit on my Unbutu with a fresh A47 with the default template and I wasn't able to get anything to go wrong.

    I might need some help getting it sorted out. I will log in there if you have instructions to reproduce or maybe if you're using a custom template that might be the missing key to reproducing it?

    Sure.

    Reply to a message.
    Quote that message
    Post your reply. Make sure that your reply, including the quoted lines, is 18-20 lines long, enough that the FS editor has to refresh the screen and push all of the content up.

    Once you are there, type something wrong. Pull up the spellchecker for that word. Once the spell checker box disappears, the end of message line isn't redrawn where the box was.

    If you pull up the spellchecker during the first 18-20 lines in the FS editor, the end of message line is redrawn once the spellchecker box disappears.

    I also noticed something recently with the FS Editor. I'm not sure if it's related or not.

    If you upload a text file into a message, when you scroll up and down to view the message, there are text fragments left on the screen from before the screen refresh. The message does get saved properly, so it's something with the display in the FS Editor.

    I hope that made sense... :)

    I did see it on Unix but only when I logged in locally. When I logged in with NetRunner it seemed to be fine and it doesn't seem to happen on Windows. I'll have to mess around with it more and figure out whats going on.

    Would love to but the way macOS does shared libraries is a train wreck (or I just horribly misunderstand it). I can't seem to get SDL2 to work in macOS.

    At this point I have a VMware only to code on for macOS so some of it might be because of that. I used to be able to develop on the VMware and then bring it over to a real macOS at a relatives house, but I've lost that ability now.

    If there is any way you think you can help me with this I am all ears.

    Well, I have been able to get SDL2 working in OSX without issue, it's how I compile SyncTerm. If you need console access to a real Mac, I can help you with that.

    I think they're pretty expensive these days (like $800). My concern with taking money in like that is that if I get a funded Mac mini and then I continue to struggle I don't want people to get upset. Kind of the same thing about rounding up the $300 or so needed to do native dialup support.

    The older models and the Air laptops will be too painful to develop on I think.

    There is a small chance I will inherit an i5 iMac from a relative but I am not expecting it.

    +1 ...

    g00r00 has passed on offers of this nature before, I believe, but.. I think he should allow folks who want to help the development of Mystic in the ways that WE CAN. I code like sh*t, g00.. I have a hard enough time just making MPL do tiny things that I want it to - this is a way I could benefit the Mystic community.

    Furthermore, I wish that we could pass any project of this nature that goes forward around to ALL the nets/BBSes/etc - but I'll leave that alone until told otherwise.

    cheers. g00r00 - say yes, thanks, and tell us what you need!
