and used by other BBS. I made this because I like making themes for Magicka, but don't fancy running a BBS for each theme I make.
Okay, You've peeked my interest. Maybe I need to do a little research on it. Magicka BBS is a BBS software package I'm not familiar with I take
it?
How is Magicka compared to other well known or older well known packages? I'm most familiar with Maximus/Opus, Searchlight and now moderately Mystic.
I think Jon Justvig? set one up.. it would be at telnet://vintagebbsing.com:2023/ if it's still running.
Yes it is a BBS software package, I don't really advertise it outside fsxnet and it's only (nearly) 2 years old.
Well it doesn't run on Windows, DOS or OS/2. It runs on Linux and other UN*X like systems (tested on NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD,
macOS and OpenIndiana).
Configuration is done via ini files, there's no control center like application.
I don't know Searchlight or OPUS, though I did try Maximus many years ago (but forgotton most of it) so can't really do a comparison.

You're a machine when it comes to pumping out the themes... I like your drawing skills. I can do a stick figure and that's about it.
It is free and OpenSource, so you're welcome to give it a test driv

log into a Magicka BBS to have a look. There's currently three I kn

possibly four.

Believe it or not apam, you inspire me to create more ANSIs. I just procrastinate on it a lot more :P
Ubuntu on Windows or whatever it's called will run MagickaBBS. I know
that's not your point... just saying.
It does. ;) www.tinysbbs.com:8080 login with your account (you created
via telnet) and there ya go! Even works with phones.
That's odd. What terminal are you using?
Oh snap! if it works, I'm in. Just need a way to run it. :) Root for
W64 Port!
toThat's odd. What terminal are you using?
I have multiple, but my primary is RIPtel from Black Flag's board. I really like the full screen display that the others just don't seem
provide.
Hmm, I just downloaded riptel from Black Flag and tried it, and backspace works.. what sort of keyboard do you have is it a standard US one?
Yeah, pretty standard Logitech 104 keyboard. Although, it didn't seem consistent. Sometimes I could backspace just fine, sometimes I couldn't. Almost seemed like if you wrote a word on a line as the first word of
that line went on to the next word and tried to come back to the prior word that's when it would happen, but not all the time. It was strange.
can't figure it out together. Some of the prerequisites were there and others that should be common aren't showing at all, like gnu sed and gnu make.
Though If successful, I'll probably be the only one in the world doing that one. Using Win10 to run Linux applications instead of running Wine
to run Windows applications. LOL
This is just a test from your own board just to see how the backspace is working on on each line and see how much I can do before it messes up again. So far it seems to be working. I don't know how long it ha <----Line 3, typed has to be, backspace worked to remove to be, but stopped after the s was removed in has.
Hope that helps. and this was with Netrunner, so it's not specific
to Riptel.
It certainly did help. I've found the problem and it should be
fixed now :) Thankyou very much.
Just one question from what I've seen so far though. Are the prompts customizable or only the screens? Granted I haven't been able to get
that far into into. I've just poked around at the files that did install properly to see what was there.
I think you can edit the magicka.strings file to your liking.

Is that possible?

Yes. Go to the windows 10 store and install "Ubuntu on Windows" I

take it?
Interested in the idea of using lua scripts instead of the mystic
scripts, mostly because lua is a lot closer to VBScript which I'm far
more familiar with. What I've seen of the mystic scripting is already causing the loss of a few brain cells and I've barely touched it.
Without a ton of examples to go off of, it's much harder to code and get help coding. Where with Lua I could probably jump right in, or pretty close to it.

FWIW I've released a number of mystic MPLs and I know that there are
a lot
more available. There's also the updated doc I wrote, which is
admittedly
out of date too, but much more up to date than the first original
one.

Did that last night ran into errors trying to follow the install instructions. Something seems missing, but I'll have to address those another time. Work calls.
Also using this message as a test of the web based reply from your website. :)
You'll get it! I know I got it working it's just a matter of
getting the
deps installed first.
Seems okay to me! :)
Not wanting to put you off magicka, but I think you might run into
trouble if you try sharing data between them (while technically you shouldn't really, they both use jam for message bases, and you could
always hack magicka to use the mystic user db if you're so inclined -
it's opensource) I just have a feeling you'll run into complications.

It's not like we're giving up on Mystic. Just what I've seen so far, Mystic is a bit more refined. Which is to be expected, it's been out a lot longer. This is something we've been talking about this week. We're considering running Mystic on the Telnet side of things and Magicka on
the web side of things. We have a lot of questions about how the two packages vary for mail and files in order to make it happen. Even possibly sharing the same mail and file system if possible, but we're really only a few weeks back into the BBS scene. There's all the time in the world as a hobbyist to figure things out. We'll continue getting Mystic setup, but want to poke and play with Magicka too. Hell, just might end up being something like Black Flag is doing and run multiple on different ports. Not sure yet. One thing at a time and for now that's get Mystic to where we want it and go from there.
While I'd be stoked to have another Magicka user, and you've already been super helpful in tracking down that wordwrap bug, at the end of the day it's what you're most comfortable with, and have the most fun with. Plus like you said no reason you can't tinker around with both :)

Hey I offered to dig at a packet that won't route if you want me
to, but I don't know if the message got out (turns out the BBS I am
using IP blocked the hub).
Also I haven't followed the thread well but if you're using points
make sure you're looking at the TOPT kludge
Yep, got the TOPT and FMPT kludges. I'm actually wondering if perhaps I just didn't have routing setup in mystic - or at least set up
incorrectly, though I would have assumed Paul would have this done?
Anyway I can send you the same packet I sent frank if you like, where should I send it to?
