  • Menu choice

    From Havok@1:103/705 to All on Tue Feb 14 08:41:38 2023
    Hello all!

    Question I went to this link went through it reading everything:
    http://wiki.synchro.net/module:xtrnmenu?s[]=menus

    I noticed no reference to changing the door area menus to .asc or.ans
    Any of you professional people know anything about this and how
    deep down the rabbit hole do I have to go?

    Thanks,

    Synchronet by default uses the xtrn_sec module, not xtrnmenu. Michael Long (mlong) created xtrnmenu and he may have been the only one to use it. <shrug>

    Ok another question is can I change some colors for
    the xtrn code and can you change (1) color then door name color right
    now it is all one color the number of the door and the door name.

    Also I have some of Jack Phlash baja mods they are old but still work
    well. The question is in some of the command shells say you hit the (R)
    letter and it throws a pause and you have to hit enter again to get
    to the mod, Is their something I can look for to take out the pause and again only on some of the shells not all?

    Thanks...

    You last asked about xtrnmenu. I explained that Michael Long is the maintainer of that, not me. Are you asking me again about xtrnmenu?

    Adding some PAUSE_RESET function calls in the right place in the command shell .src file(s) or the JP Baja mod source will likely fix that.

    Laughing no I asked the first time if I could add .asc or .ans menus
    I figured what the heck maybe, maybe if I could just change colors
    in the stock xtrn setup!


    See http://synchro.net/docs/baja.html for details.

    Thanks for the link got some reading to do!

    Yes, you can add .asc or .ans menus that will be used by the xtrn_sec module: https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:menu_files

    Yes, you can change the colors of the stock xtrn setup: https://wiki.synchro.net/module:xtrn_sec https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:text.dat

    See http://synchro.net/docs/baja.html for details.

    Thanks for the link got some reading to do!

    You last asked about xtrnmenu. I explained that Michael Long is the
    aintainer
    f that, not me. Are you asking me again about xtrnmenu?

    Is Michael still around? I thought he shut his system down a few months
    back.

    I thought/heard the same. He's logged on Vert a few times since though. <shrug> --
