Hey fine Talisman sysops... I'm testing a little mod I wrote for Talisman.
It's just an AutoSig editor. If you want to check it out on my
BBS, it's accessible under a hidden Message menu key - just press 'Z'

Paulie420 mentioned that it would be intuitive to have a way to edit your AutoSig from the Message Menu, it seemed trvial enough that I
decided to code a little Door Program in Go to handle this.

I'm just learning Go, and this is the first "real" program I created, so
would love any feedback. I'm fairly certain this could be made redundant
when Talisman has its own sig editor, but until then -- it was a great way
to try something new.

The one thing that makes me nervous is writing to the user database, but
so far so good, no unrecoverable errors yet.

And thanks to apam for making such sweet software!

Oh, and here's an autosig

Awesome! That's one thing that I can move to the back of the todo list ;P

Ha, yes! I'm going to do some more testing this week, compile for
Windows 64 and Pi--it won't work for OSX, unfortunately, as I'm using a
library for the editor with known issues on Mac--but I'll put the source
and binaries on github.

One thing I want to change -- allow the user to re-edit the autosig after exiting the editor and viewing the changes, right now it dumps the user
back to the BBS after saving. Still does the trick tho.

Cheers,

Robbie

Neat dude.. hope I didn't create a bunch of work for ya - however I'm heading over to check it out...

Now I laugh at my email and all my instructions to you for that Covid mod. LOL... sorry dude, some folks aren't knowledable - seems like you know way more that I do. :P

No, it was really awesome because it gave me a chance to finally complete something! I'd been stuck on a program I was writing and I needed
something new to obsess over, heh. I'm actually a terrible programmer,
but hoping to get better.

mod. LOL... sorry dude, some folks aren't knowledable - seems like you

I meant to thank you for that write up! I really appreciate it, and trust
me, you over-estimate my knowledge. As I'm sure apam can testify to, I
NEED detailed instructions.

Thanks again :)

Well... I for one really like your autosig program. It worked great and... looks nice in Talisman. :P Good job!!

Hey... I read your email about the Covid mod. I must have forgot about switch the ANSI back from Amiga font mode. Its a simple 'codepageswitch.ans' file. I can goto your BBS an upload a ZIP with both the switch BACK and some .ans files that switch TO

MicroKnight
Topaz
Etc... Amiga fonts. I like to play with that often on my BBS and forgot that I had it switching back. Sorry.

That'd be awesome -- on the board or just e-mail them -- thanks,
Paulie420! I remember I had this problem when that mod first came out and
I just gave up trying to figure it out. Must be a specific ansi escape
code that triggers the font and/or a reset?

Talisman.
It's just an AutoSig editor. If you want to check it out on my
BBS, it's accessible under a hidden Message menu key - just press 'Z'

I've added the mod's source files to github for anyone that wants to test
the pre-alpha:

https://github.com/robbiew/go-autosig-talisman

It also includes a binary (autosig) for Linux 64 in case you don't have a
Go environment on-hand to compile. Instructions are at the above link.

If anyone is running rPi or Windows 64, let me know and I'll compile
binaries fo those as well.

Looking for some testing feedback!

Exactly. Its just a simple ANSI code and a 'D' character.

Really great of you bud!!

Hey, I run a Raspberry Pi... but I can just catch you on Drunken Gamer and - no rush at all for me; I would like to run it, if yer offer stands, but get to it when you can...

I'm stoked that ya'll are taking a trip and... enjoy yer weekend dude!!!

The app/mod is really nice; It works. I got my siggy on Drunken Gamer, lickety split.

Thanks, Paulie. I'll get the Pi version tested and over to you next week.

I just realized (literally had one of those sit-up-in-bed at 3am moments)
that the path to the dropfile is actually hard-coded in Go, lol, I need
to fix that before it'll work for anyone other than 'robbiew' user, heh.

That'd be great -- I do need to fix the hard-coded references to the
dropfile and the sqlite file, e.g. just make them relative, and then it
will be good to go and test. Appreciate that. I'll ping you when that's
done.

Do you have a Go environment setup on your Win32 machine to compile, or
would you need the binary already compiled?

Cheers,

LOL... for that mod, I might do a useradd. :P

Already compiled if possible. There's only a 20GB HDD image on that
"machine" and it's getting kind of full. LOL

Sure thing. Go has the ability to cross-conpile for any platform (from
whatever platform you are using), and I've never done that before so
it'll be a great opportunity for me to learn! I'll ping you when it's
ready and you can either d/l from my BBS or right from github.
