  • Unused .MPL's within new Mystic .45

    From Doug Cooper@1:227/702 to All on Fri May 22 10:03:25 2020
    Hi all,

    I noticed a few very useful mpl scripts within the scripts directory that are "optional" or "example" mpls ... automessage, onlyonce, etc... I'm looking at the to-prompt.mps and thought it would be cool to a few of those prompts lightbar. However the prompts it suggests changing do not match up in line number to the current version of Mystic's prompt editor/.dat file from what I can see. Has anyone happended to notate where they located each prompt for email, messages, files, and pause?

    Docs show to set prompt 44, 115, 116, 132, 213, and 354 ... I may skip the
    idea as they just aren't matching up to the fuctions. But .. if someones suceeded in locating the prompt lines, I'd love to know.

    In addition, the line #132 pause prompt doesn't seem to do anythign on it's
    own -- stock. The "(Y)es, (N)o, (C)ontinuious" that pops up when reading messages, email, etc.. simply gives the same result no matter what selection made (Y/N/C) ... theres a pipe code |XX after it within mine, double checked that it was indeed correct to a back up of the original prompts.dat ... Has anyone discovered a fix to this? If it's just a pause prompt with no input option, Im changing the text.

    Thx,

    TG

    Which prompts do you think aren't lining up specifically? None of the prompt numbers changed, except for the message editor prompt which no longer exists.

    Use the Goto function in the prompt editor to goto the prompt number and you should see they are what it says they are.

    If you're having a problem somewhere specific let me know. I haven't ever
    had reports of it not working and it seems to be working fine here.

    Just a heads up you should never touch prompts.dat or any file in the data folder unless instructed to. If you try to edit prompts.dat you're
    eventually going to lose your changes.

    g00r00,

    Thanks for the reply and the heads up. I had pulled up the .dat file in
    edit++ to view and compare but thankfully did not make changes nor save anything. I use the prompt text editor in config for that. It's helpful knowing the message prompts are not used, as those were ones I was having issues with. The email read prompt I had issues with ... I don't recall but can redo and let you know. I recall it showing up first, prior to the list
    of messages, not allowing Next and Prior functions to work. If I select
    next, it just drops back to the message menu (but I am using a light bar
    driven message main menu, area list, and group list, which may be the issue there? As for the "Prior" function, it would sit on a blank screen until hitting enter, then would list the prior message.

    Lastly, as for the pause prompt, the "no" and "continuious functions are ignored and act the same as the "yes" function, displaying again after X columns displayed to the screen. If you aren't having issues, I'll double check my installation when more awake.

    Thanks for the tips.
