    From John@1:103/705 to All on Wed Nov 25 14:39:46 2020
    HI Folks;

    Just getting back into BBS, after what seems forever. I used to run all the usual suspects PCBoard, TBBS, RBBS, Renegade. I started up using Mystic, which is not a bad program, however it is closed source, which I am not in favour of. I found Synchronet last week, and I haven't been able to stop playing. Kudos to all, absolutely awesome program, head and shoulders above everything else!

    Now dumb question time, where the heck does the Sysop menu originate from. I have already change up the Renegade menu to Mystic, and added everything but the kitchen sink into it, but I'd like to add a few things to it. I look forward to try and help the software. I have never used jscript, I always found it a bit cryptic, ahem, fon't talk to me about C lol.

    Regards,
    John

    Welcome! and thanks for the kind words.

    Now dumb question time, where the heck does the Sysop menu originate from. have already change up the Renegade menu to Mystic, and added everything

    exec/str_cmds.js is the source for all the string command (including sysop-only commands). Let me know if that wasn't the answer you were seeking. --

    Thank you, no that was exactly the answer i was looking for. For now, maybe I will just create a srcond Sysop menu instead of messing the JS code, until I am up to snuff.

    Thanks!

    Great thank you for the pointers! Looks like I will
    have to learn some Js. Baja is great but only does
    so much. Without arrays or loops it's a bit
    challenging. I was wondering how I could help. Maybe
    I could work on the documentation, as it's very
    dated and I know people hate to do it, lol.

    Thanks
    John

    Just copy whatever you're working on from exec or exec/load into mods,
    which will load locally, and worst case, you can remove the offending
    file in mods... pretty much never edit anything under exec directly.

    Thanks Tracker, I am just cleaning things up. So many files for a new Synchro user to get familiar with, but I think I got the hang of it now. Thanks for the tip!
