• CRBBS Projects

    From Black Panther@21:1/186 to All on Saturday, November 13, 2021 23:05:18
    Hello All!

    I've been working on a few projects here, that I think are kinda fun, and will make CRBBS look a little different. ;)

    First, as you may know, I have the login ansi screen scrolling down from the top of the screen, and the 'Enter your alias' and password text scrolling in from the left side of the screen. Well, in this new MPL, the text will have random effects, so each time you log in, it will, 'should', appear differently. This mpl also contains a 'Press Enter twice to continue' message, with a timer, to get rid of the bots a little bit quicker. ;)

    Another thing that I've been poking around with, is a new user application. All of the fields will appear on the screen, and after filling in one space, will move to the next, etc.

    Neither of these are on the live system yet. I'm still messing with a few tweaks. I just figured I'd give you all an update of what I've been working on here lately.

    I am also looking to release a new version of MTAFile within the next few days. It's running here on CRBBS, and I think I have all of the "undocumented features" worked out. ;)

    wow those sound cool Dan, you have been having fun creating stuff.

    I hope all the testing goes well for you.

    You need to stop by more often. ;)

    I do have 'part 1' of the updates live on CRBBS now. It's a simple bot check. (Press Escape twice to continue)

    I'm still having a bit of an issue with the new prompts... For some reason, every once and awhile the .mpx file will get renamed to (conflicted).mpx. I keep trying to track down the reason for it, but it's been too random so far...

    Also, the new user application will now check the trashcan.dat file, and also verify the passwords are following the policies that have been set in Mystic.

    I'm going to try to get all of these online by the end of today. :)

    It really is fun. :)

    Like I've said, if there isn't already a program out there that does what you want it to do, go ahead and create your own. ;)

    I hope all the testing goes well for you.

    Most of it is... One issue is still being a thorn in my side though... I'll get it figured out. :)

    I'll run by and see. There used to be a hidden.... :P

    I'm still having a bit of an issue with the new prompts... For some reason, every once and awhile the .mpx file will get renamed to (conflicted).mpx. I keep trying to track down the reason for it, but
    it's been too random so far...

    Oh, I might know this one... whats the .mps called? SOMETIMES, I think when g00 names his prompts something like... _prompts.mps, mplc would fail at times unless you renamed it to altprompts.mps.... but you prolly know all about this Linux issue.

    Also, the new user application will now check the trashcan.dat file, and also verify the passwords are following the policies that have been set
    in Mystic.

    I'm going to try to get all of these online by the end of today. :)

    Ahh neat; yer application process is FULLY moving over to MPL then? Thats cool - I like playing with those connect, startup or apply.mps ones... they are super neat. The apply one WOULD be cool if it were somewhere users could see it running... w/o the write lines or something. NO worries rush or even asking... but I'll have to apply when yer done. :P

    Hello paulie420!

    15 Nov 21 17:07, you wrote to me:

    There still is, but they aren't in there. ;) You should have seen the new additions when you logged in.

    I'm still having a bit of an issue with the new prompts... For
    some reason, every once and awhile the .mpx file will get renamed
    to (conflicted).mpx. I keep trying to track down the reason for
    it, but it's been too random so far...

    Oh, I might know this one... whats the .mps called? SOMETIMES, I think when g00 names his prompts something like... _prompts.mps, mplc would
    fail at times unless you renamed it to altprompts.mps.... but you
    prolly know all about this Linux issue.

    They aren't prompts, in the Mystic sense. They are the login alias and password prompts within an mpl. The filename is rcslogin.mps and rcslogin.mpx.

    I wish I could get it to reproduce the problem so I can track down the issue. I do have them live on CRBBS, but haven't noticed any problems there. Maybe the issue was unintentionally fixed? :/

    Also, the new user application will now check the trashcan.dat
    file, and also verify the passwords are following the policies
    that have been set in Mystic.

    I'm going to try to get all of these online by the end of today.

    something. NO worries rush or even asking... but I'll have to apply
    when yer done. :P

    Oh, that could be done easily. I'm not sure I'll be able to get it today, as I'm going to have to leave soon for work. It would just be a matter of commenting out one line of code. ;)

    Already done. If you check out the super-secret-cool-kids menu here on CRBBS, you'll see it listed. I've commented out all of the saving of the information, and putting the info into the user record. (I hope) ;)

    The application isn't anything fantastic, just something different.

    Awesome, I'll head over and take a peak...

    Wrong answer - it makes CRBBS what it is; IMO that is fairly fantastical. :P I'll be taking a gander. Happy TG, BP & all.
