Hi to all,

When i start ./mystic -cfg and then i go to "Network" and select "Edit
Areafix Help", "Edit Filefix Help" or "Edit File Request" i got imidiatly a Segfault and the mystic -cfg is closed.

An unhandled exception occurred at $0000000000412130: EAccessViolation: $0000000000412130 Segmentation fault (core dumped).

I run Ubuntu 20.04.02 LTS 64 Bit, and i install the latest Mystic V1.12 A47
64 Bit PreAlpha Version.

Installed as root at /mystic with chown -R mystic:mystic /mystic changed to mystic user and started as user mystic

Hope this help to fix the problem

Best regards
Alisha

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this here on Ubuntu 20 64-bit with the latest A47. I wonder what could be different? I'll make a new build since I
have that filename change for the View anyway for you to test... Let me know if it still happens in the latest build.

Thanks I will see if I can reproduce this and get it fixed up if so.

Hi g00r00,

Is there any Mailinglist or Echomail witch you announce when a new prealpha Release is released to know when i shut download a new binary? What i see is that the Name of the prealpha has always the same name, there is no indicator when a new version is uploaded. Is there any plan for the future to extend
the filename by a date and houre prefix to know when a new version is
released.

Best regards
Alisha

There is no indicator other than the date of the file and the date stamp that it shown when you run mystic -ver or mis -ver etc.

I don't really have any plans at the moment to change that but I am open to ideas/suggestions!

Hi g00r00,

For me as a Sysop Point of view to test a prealpha and give you feedback
would be nice to see very fast, without to download and install if there is a new version online or not. The easy way to do this is to extend the existing prealpha download file name by mys112a47_202108142110_l64.rar means this release ist build on the 14th of August 2021 at 21:10 or 09:10pm at utc timezone.

best regards

The date is already set on the timestamp of the file within the listing, so you can already use that to accomplish what you're hoping for in a very simple way:

For example you can do:
"wget -N http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/prealpha/mys112a47_l64.rar"

And that will look at the file date and download the file if its been updated since the last time you've downloaded it. If the filename contained the date stamp within the filename then this would not work.

I made one real quick that will check for a new version and download it if there is a newer version.

You could easily modify this to send an e-mail or to even unrar it and do a "./install replace /mystic" to automatically install it. You'd still need to keep an eye on the upgrade/whatsnew text though in case there are additional steps needed.

NEW_VERSION=$(wget -N http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/prealpha/mys112a47_l64.rar 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep -c "Saving to:*")

if [ "$NEW_VERSION" -eq 1 ] ; then
echo "A new version of Mystic BBS is available"

# Do whatever you want here
else
echo "No new version found"
fi

Tried some gdb but doesn't have any symbols, so no good references to

Hi Bjoern,

I was make some other Test as well "./mystic -text blah.txt" and it crash, so it looks that the fault is general in the text editor module of mystic and
not related to the ./mystic -cfg module when i select any files to edit with the editor.

Ah, thanks, good to know!

Let's hope g00r00 can find something (or perhaps point us in some direction on how to assist him in locating the cause of this).

I noticed now that it only happens if/when I fullsize my PuTTY Windows (SSHing from my Windows machine to the Debian box).

On my machine, this is:

bbs@glimmer:~$ tput cols
237
bbs@glimmer:~$ tput lines
63

bbs@glimmer:~$ set | grep TERM
TERM=xterm

...whereas 80x24 (in a standard-sized PuTTY Windows) works fine.

So it appears to have something to do with the screen size (lines/columns).

I thought it might be something like that.

Based on the feedback from both of you I think I found and fixed the issue today in the latest build.

Thanks again to both of you for the report let me know if you still have any issues.
