• RCS Release: AFK

    From Black Panther@21:1/186 to All on Sunday, May 23, 2021 12:43:14
    Hi Everyone,

    See, I told you we were working on some great new releases for you!

    I'd like to announce another one that will be hatched shortly, that I think
    you will love to have!

    RCS AFK - Away From Keyboard

    This is a Mystic MPL Mod that displays a Matrix Rain screensaver to users, on BBSes that run on Linux or MacOS. On Windows BBSes a beautiful ANSI screensaver is used. After a sysOp-settable amount of time passes, a countdown shows on screen and users Node Status is set to 'Possibly AFK'. After which, node status is set to 'AFK' and screensaver mode starts. If user times out, they are shown an ANSI explaining why, and disconnected. If the user comes back and types a key, they exit the mod and are returned to the BBS.

    The entire time, other users checking Who's Online will see the status of any users who are AFK or Possibly AFK.

    Oh yea, it looks rad as heck t00. :P

    Watch for this to be released in the next day or so!

    It stokes me up that ppl say this. :P The real shining mod in these releases was Game Room - but ... really hope the sysOps like AFK, too. :P

    w00t w00t! If you've any questions just ask - theres some hidden variables and modifications an in-the-know sysOp can make to make AFK 'their own'. I'm willing to help you make it even more 'Zip' if desired.

    :P

    Yes, the Game Room sounds awesome, too! Although I think it will have to wait some here -- lots of stuff to do at work at the moment...

    Hmm, is there ASCII support in it too?
    Imagine a Matrix ASCII screensaver... :-D

    Actually, the pipe codes in Mystic are pretty nice in that regard, that they automatically translate things to ASCII on-demand. =)

    These are both great releases! You should already have it, as it came through fsxNet.

    Let us know if you have any questions. :)

    Its REALLY nice, I didn't realize how many games DoorParty & BBSLink even had.

    I'm not sure if I was completely respectful of ASCII-only users; I did use a lot of Mystic Pipe-Code in the mod, but... I'm not willing to say that it would be 100%. :P
