  • File Bases Done - sort of

    From apam@21:1/182 to All on Tuesday, December 05, 2023 15:17:20
    I've finished the file base area, but it's not exactly to my liking.

    I couldn't get nodejs to correctly convert the high ascii some people use
    in file_id.dizs.

    I've instead converted it to plain ascii. so it doesn't look as nice as
    it did in magicka.

    I think the root of the problem is I am storing CP437 encoded text in
    SQLite's TEXT field when it should be UTF-8.. i couldn't figure out how
    to re-encode it to look right. :(

    Downloading from the web increments the DL counter :)

    oh unlike magicka, you need to be logged in to browse and download from
    the file areas. If you want to host files for everyone there is a way to
    do that too, but they are independent of the BBS.
