• Mystic ANSI File Display Question?

    From stizzed@77:1/104 to All on Tue Jun 11 18:49:02 2019
    I have created an ANSI file, listing message and/or file conferences. How do
    I get Mystic to display those files instead of the dynamically generated
    'join a conference' list?

    Thanks!

    Do you mean as a header for the generated list or as a screen to replace the entire listing?

    I mean as a screen to replace the entire listing. Like the one on your board...

    Ahhh. I'm using a Mystic mod to generate the lightbars. It's an old mod that
    I had to update to the latest MPL spec and the latest records standard.

    You can change the line in 100 + 101 in the prompts file. 100 lists the
    message base header and 101 lists the format that the message bases are generated. I would do the following to 100:

    |CL|DFyouransiname

    replace youransiname with the name of your ansi file WITHOUT the extension. That file must live in your text directory.

    As for 101, I would just wipe it clean.

    I do see one issue with this. If you change message base ID's, add or remove message bases or change what group they are part of then you have to edit the ansi accordingly.

    Perfect! That tells me all I need to know to move forward!

    Not a problem. I won't be changing it that much once things are set. I have
    a lightbar mpl that I use for startup but don't think I want alot of 'moving parts' once into the board.

    Thanks!

    I get it. Set it and forget it.
