    Hello everybody!

    One other thing I noticed... in BINK/FLO mode, PKTs are now saved in each zone's outbound folder. No longer will "OUTBOUND" be the dump directory in case
    anyone starts wondering why.

    Smark moe DM.... :)

    Okay cool were do we get a copy of this sbbsecho.exe ver 300

    You have to download the _dev from ftp://vert.synchro.net/synchronet and update all the exe files.

    Before you update shutdown the control panel, goto: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/exec/sbbsecho_upgrade.js?view=log and download that .js file into your exec folder. (v1.10)

    Open a command prompt, go to ..\sbbs\exec and type:

    JSEXEC sbbsecho_update.js

    This will convert your sbbsecho.ctl to sbbsecho.ini and also change the name of sbbsecho.ctl to sbbsecho.ctl.old

    Restart the control panel and you're done.

    Your echocfg.exe has also been changed so you may want to review that while you're at the CMD prompt.


    Enjoy..

    Hiya Ian...

    so if I backup sbbs\exec directory first I should be safe, just
    incase same thing goes wrong.

    Yes, I would at least make a backup of your sbbsecho.ctl file as the upgrade will change it's name.to sbbsecho.ctl.old. It will still be in the ..\sbbs\ctrl folder.

    is there any thing I sould now about the binkd/flo in sbbsecho.cfg or should things just work as normal

    No, the conversion will create a sbbsecho.ini file. DM is no longer using
    the .cfg format anymore.

    When I updated, everything converted properly to the new style so I doubt you'll have any issues.

    Also, as I previously stated, echocfg has also changed so you may want to
    look at that structure as well.

    Enjoy...

    I did look in echocfg and you are right structure has changed quite a bit
    with more options, althought I left every thing the way it was,
    unlesss you think
    it should change samething. even notice that zone blind seen-by
    and pass lines Zone 1-4 in Echomail Options


    As long as you used the latest version of sbbsecho_update.js when you updated, then all will be fine.

    Lord Time

    Okay I have downloaded it so how do I install this one, same as the other or different.

    same : jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js


    Yes I thought it would be that, which I did do but backup exec/ctrl
    dirs irst
    then put sbbsecho_upgrade.js into sbbs\exec ran jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js
    and I thought I did samething wrong as a error message showed up
    after unning
    it error saying could find sbbsecho.cfg and of coase it isn't there because t
    been name to sbbsecho.ini, so I thought it didn't compile properly or
    I did
    sameting wrong so copied back that backup exec/ctrl back to 1.10 version
    was I meant to just ingore the could find sbbsecho.cfg part of it, so did
    I do it right or wrong.

    Remember, everytime you run the JSEXEC sbbsecho_upgreade.js it convert your sbbecho.cfg to sbbecho.cfg.bad. You need to rename that bad file to the original as such:

    in your CTRL folder... ren sbbsecho.cfg.bad sbbsecho.cfg

    Then you can run the newer version of sbbsecho_upgrade.js

    Sysops should not need to run sbbsecho_upgrade.js multiple times. The
    only exception is if there was a problem in the conversion from sbbsecho.cfg -> sbbsecho.ini and you know that problem was fixed in a newer version of the upgrade script. In that case, you can either fix
    the problem by hand (e.g. the missing "route" values) or rename sbbsecho.cfg.old to sbbsecho.cfg and re-run the script. But note: if
    you re-run the upgrade script, any changes made to your sbbsecho.ini
    (by hand or using echocfg v3) will be lost.

    Understood.... :)
