    From x1pepe@21:1/150 to All on Sat Aug 29 17:39:16 2020
    Hi Everybody!
    I want to put an Easter Egg in my BBS.
    In the main menu or whatever if an user write the correct word, a beautifull ANSI will show tell him YOU WON! or something like that.

    Ok, at this point I know how to doit, but also I would like to do the next,
    The user will must to write me message to me, so I will know really who is
    the winner of the contest. I need help to this last part ...

    What you could do is change a userflag and this flag starts an auto
    message to sysop with a preconfigged topic ... After submitting/saving
    the message the flag is set to off ofcourse.

    Gtx!

    Have a look at the "Comment to SysOp" item in the main menu -- the MW (Send
    new e-mail) function could be what you're looking for. You can specify the recipient (default is /TO:sysop which in A46 leads to the user specified by Sysop Name in the configuration; in A47 it will instead lead to Feedback To) and subject as desired.

    Best regards

    The best thing I could reommend is having the "easter egg" automatically
    send you the message on behalf of the user.

    Thanks for your reply!
    Finally I did a laberinth menus sytem inside Mystic :)
    Every menu show an ANSI and in EASTER EGG menu, I put it a final ANSI with
    the Easter Egg ansi draw and forcing user to write me a message.

    My error was think I could do that only with MCI codes inside th ANSIS and I needed a MENU for that.

    That's give an idea: Make a game! Yes! I did a "Text Adventure with ansis". It's more difficult to explain that do it! :) So you can test it if you want.

    telnet sotanomsxbbs.org:23 (Then choose SOTANO ESCAPE theme)

    Sorry, for the moment only in spanish.

    Thanks, first was thinking in that, but finally I did it in another way
    (I wrote it in my last message).
    Cheers.

    C00L, last year I was trying to do the same, but I got stuck bc I needed more input chars for the full line input option. If I am correct max amount is 12, would be nice if g00r00 could extend the input length of that field.

    gtX!

    Finally the only way I found, wasn't put commands over ANSIS, instead that I maked new menus displaying the ANSIS, and in these menus I put the commands.
