      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:227/702 60e2111c       TZUTC: -0500              This message may be for g00r00 unless others are playing with this feature and       have figured it out. I have most of my login/logoff ANSI's made in 16:9 and       they look awesome! Love the extra real-estate              Using the 132x36 now .. not sure the editor is working quite right yet, we'll       see after I save.              Couple of questions:              1. I didn't see anything in the readme.txt regarding using this with menus.        I'd love if Mystic could auto detect which terminal size was being used, and       then display the appropriate menu (80x25 or 132x36). I know it can do this       with ANSI files, but I want totally different light bar menus for each       terminal format. This way I can use the available real-estate to spread out       the        clutered menus, and or add back in more expert functions I currently have       hidden, without the menu's being cluttered.        Probably a good example would be, having 1 game menu with ALL games on it,       when in 132x36, versus a few menus within doors        for those in 80x25. Is this possible now? I may have overlooked this       functionality within readme.txt.              2. I'm noticing the pause prompt still defaults to line 25, even if the 132       ansi is 35 lines in length, therefore pausing       2/3rds down, but within the ANSI file, instead of below it. I'm using       !g-pause at line 22 within the prompt editor, and        g00r00's most current g-pause2.zip .. I've also tried Black Panthers animated       pause mod just released, same issue. Neither,       that I can tell, are coded to hard stop at 25 lines.              3. While most of the time I turn sauce off within Pablo draw, sometimes i       forget, and save. I'll edit it out within notepad++.       I can't seem to find out where to set the columns of notepad++ to 132       columns. Therefore, the .ans file gets saved as word wrapped. While this       doesn't affect how the file is displayed within mystic, its a pain to fix       within an ANSI editor later.              Thanks for any input, loving this new feature! I can see making some pretty       kick butt ANSI's and menu's in 16:9!              -Doug              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2020/11/06 (Windows/32)        * Origin: The Underground [@] theunderground.us:10023 <-port (1:227/702)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/275 424 426 452 550 664 981 1016 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 292/854 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 227/702 229/426           |
