    Yes, they're hardcoded.

    -Rob

    Dang it, Oh well, Gotta think up something new for those menu's then, Make it flow with my other shells

    If your games don't change much, you can do custom menus for the
    games, calling the appropriate externals..

    Yeah I suppose, But I want to keep my work to a minimum right now, I Got 2 command Shells right now,(Got rid of the ones that came with synchro)
    I'll just mix up the xtrns to flow with the 2 shells.
    Also noticed a few of the other menu's are hardcoded as well, The chat menu for one...

    The chat menu is NOT hardcoded in v3.10.

    Too bad, shells are user selectible, or they were, until you got rid of
    them.

    Also you can download some all ready to go from Vert and other places.

    Check out \SBBS\EXEC\CHAT_SEC.SRC Edit to your hearts content.

    If you hunt down all the instances where a shell migh diverge from the
    default, and you read up on what you don't know (about BAJA), you could
    whip up some interesting shells of your own.

    Actally I beleive the alternate BBS like-like screens would count as
    shells also...

    -Rob

    Hmm ok, Well What I did was just modify the default shell twice, once for each of my shells,and noticed this line for chat.
    cmdkey C
    chat_section
    end_cmd

    So If I want to make serperate chat menu's I would have to add a chat section to the src?
    like this
    cmdkey C
    call Chat
    end_cmd

    Then add a section for chat in the src? Shwing which menu to use and what keys do what etc.
    Also if this is possible, Can't I also do this for xtrn?

    Users can still select between the 2 I created.

    I dont have that SRC in my version, It must be in 3.10 as rob said, if so i'll play with it and fix that menu, wish the xtrn_sec src's were in there, =(

    You CAN create a file to be displayed. Edit it in thedraw convert to
    Sync color and it will show whatever you like. Same thing with XTRN1
    XTRN2 XTRN3...

    There is quite a long list of screen files you can create that SBBS will display instead of the hard-coded pages.

    Don't think you know what I mean, Yes I already created many pages, xtrn1 etc, but without the xtrn_sec being hard coded, I cant change those menu's for different shells, No matter what shell i use, I'm stuck with thoe xtrn1,2,3 etc menu's.

    Ok... I missed your point on that one.

    But couldn't you have all of you extra screens made up before hand and
    have a batch file copy them over to \sbbs\text\menu as needed depending
    on which shell is being used... Of course this would be quite
    disconcerting if more than one user were on at a time... should be away
    around this, but danged if I can think of one just now...

    Maybe as part of the 'X' command the batch file could be called copying
    the files... just muttering to myself, pay it no mind.
