  • FTN working. :)

    From vk3jed@21:1/50 to All on Fri Dec 14 11:23:07 2018
    Well, I've got FTN working, with a little help from apam. :)

    Next is to install a few lua scripts and have a bit of fun. :D

    In Magicka, it's not too bad to get everything set up. Apam has some great
    docs to work with... :)

    I've only got one installed so far. I even took a look at lua, and it doesn't look like it's that bad to work with. I might have to attempt writing
    something to try it out...

    Yes, Magicka is actually pretty straightforward. The hardest part is FTN, but once I understood the basics of Magimail, it made sense. What I would like is a utility to parse .NA files and setup configuration file for Magicka and Magimail.

    I haven't got around to the scripts yet. That's the next project when I get time. As for learning lua, that's for further down the track. :)

    Lua is pretty simple when you get the hang of it, the main thing that got
    me when I first started was using curly brackets and mixing up "or" and
    "and" with "||" and "&&". That's not lua's fault of course, just my brain
    doing things on automatic :)

    I'll just have to think of something to write a script for... Hmmm...

    BTW, in your install instructions for installing the InterBBS last caller
    lua, you mention adding it to the login stanza. Where is that? I've been looking in all of the .ini files, and can't find it... I'm probably being blind...

    Thanks

    It's a lua script in the scripts directory.

    See, I'm blind... I think that was the only place I didn't look...

    Thank you

    So, now you're picturing me doing a Hawaiian hula? ;) (If you weren't, you

    Haha I was just about to post something similar... I'm sure you'd look
    lovely in a grass skirt with flower necklace.
