• interbbs last callers

    From apam@21:1/125 to All on Sun Nov 4 07:47:26 2018
    last night i wrote an interbbs last callers script for magicka. It is compatible with xqtr's one from mystic.

    You need the latest git pull of magicka to be able to run it.

    you can get the script in the same repository as the interbbs oneliners:

    git clone git://git.magickabbs.com/MagickaScripts

    To install copy the ilc.lua and ilc-send.lua to your scripts directory.

    you need to edit both scripts and enter the msgconf and msgarea of your
    data area. (in the ilc-send.lua you also need to put your bbs address).

    then add the following line to login_stanza.lua:

    dofile("/path/to/scripts/ilc-send.lua");

    this needs to be modified to the full path and filename of ilc-send.lua
    It is recommended to put this just before the "Do you want a quick login" prompt else if people login quickly it wont run.

    ilc.lua can be called from a menu via the DOSCRIPT command or inserted
    into the login_stanza like the ilc-send.

    so, ilc-send.lua sends the data message, ilc.lua reads and displays the
    last callers.

    I have a busy day ahead so might not be able to respond quickly if there
    are any questions.

    Cool! I did see increased traffic in the fsxdat area and also FatSandwhich BBS was listed, but i couldn't thought you wrote a compatible script! Very nice!

    Thanks.

    Yeah, I set mine to only log callers that aren't the sysop, so there
    shouldn't be too many logins coming from my system. (I had it set
    otherwise to test).

    To install copy the ilc.lua and ilc-send.lua to your scripts directory.

    Done.

    you need to edit both scripts and enter the msgconf and msgarea of your data area. (in the ilc-send.lua you also need to put your bbs address).

    Ummm, OK, so what is our "data area"? Is that the FSX data echo? I will
    need to add it if that is the case. Since it was all mystic data, I don't
    have that one set up.

    Thanks!

    Where do I configure that? Just becaus when I'm testing modifications
    I may login 50 times in an hour. LOL

    What's the syntax for this?

    HOTKEY 1
    COMMAND DOSCRIPT
    DATA ?????? (And what file do I add it to.. same as doors?)

    Thanks,

    The sysop name is in the bbs.ini if this is the same as the username it
    wont post.

    You don't need to add scripts to any file, if they're in the scripts
    directory the menu system will find them :)
