    I've updated the latest prealpha builds. For whoever was asking about the Golded export that feature is in these latest builds.

    Mystic has a "Golded-like" interface built into it so I don't use Golded. Someone else had requested the ability to export a Golded configuration so I added it for them!

    I tried the w32 Mys112a47 and all seemed to go well, however, when I logged
    in my mainhdr.ans did not display. Checked in settings for Main Menu and it was correct |DFmainhdr was there and the file mainhdr.ans was located in
    text folder of default theme. I have no other themes. In fact all my *hdr files do not display the header except the Filehdr is displayed.

    I got my backup and replaced it back to A46.

    I don't remember how old A46 is now, or when the change was made, but you might want to try adding another pipe after, ie: |DFmainhdr| and see if that works.

    When did you download the A47 version? It gets updated as much as several times a day (the latest is today). If you had an older version that happened to be downloaded the day I was testing the new display system you might see bugs.

    The headers in the default install are definately working for me on all platforms.

    That might help but he shouldn't need to. The entire default install uses DF in the menu settings and its working so there is something else going on. There is a new display file system but I've just installed a fresh copy of A47 in Linux and Windows 32 and its working.

    That didn't work, but changing file named mainhdr to mainans worked the .ans is presumed.

    Using mainhdr only displayed mainhdr.asc

    I will download what is up there on Monday morning. I did find out that by changing the name from mainhdr to mainans it displayed the ans file

    If I leave it as mainhdr then id displays the mainhdr.asc

    Rueben,

    I am having a similar problem with the latest prealpha. I have a heavily customized mystic install and NONE of my ANSIs are displaying UNLESS I go
    back into the config, prompts.txt, MPS, or menu config and manually add a
    file extension. I have posted my problem here and g00r00 is aware of the issue. Feel free to email me if you want to discuss.

    Later!

    I will I have just been too busy to test the latest changes.

    In general it works this way:

    1) Create new features
    2) Test new features
    3) Release a pre-alpha

    This year has been incredibly busy for me outside of the BBS scene so features have been slower. The latest changes I made are related to e-mail password resets and e-mail validation and I need to connect to an SMTP server to test them before I release a new build.

    I can build a prealpha and release it anyway if the community would prefer but these features are untested.

    g00r00... About a month or so ago I was requesting that you have mystic auto generate message areas and use a random Hex number when making message base names.

    Please can you add this in the next pre-alpha

    I didn't forget about you, sir!

    In the next build I changed it to fix the problem where it could create a double period that you mentioned. But I also changed how it works to allow for a random hex too:

    + MUTIL ImportEchoMail now has a "dos_filename" option that can be used to
    create JAM filenames in the DOS 8.3 file format. Valid options are:

    0 = Do not use 8.3 filename (uses echotag for filename)
    1 = Use shortened 8.3 filename (trimmed based on the echotag name)
    2 = Use random hex 8.3 filename

    ... If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?
