      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:227/702 9448b01e       REPLY: 1:129/215 e9be7424       TZUTC: -0500               g0> Mystic does auto detect terminal sizes, and the latest version does        g0> allow menus to be named the same as other display files and templates        g0> (for both randomly selected menus, and menus dynamically selected based        g0> on either columns, lines, or both)!              I am on the latest version I believe, 11.6.20 Pre Alpha. I'm doing a separate       theme for it anyway as it's too much fun. BUT didn't know the menu's could be       named doors.c132 ? That would have been slick to know :) I didn't see that       in the readme.txt but likely missed it.              Now .. with the latest version, I noticed the marque does not allow an Y       coordinate past 60, any chance that could be added to the next release? Every       time it's inputted at a number higher, it resets to 60. I have a split menu       on one of my menus where I'd       like the marque to begin at the far right of the screen and stop about half       way through .. Even dual marque's would be a sweet feature. And if it exists       and is in the whatsnew.txt, I'll kick myself, I promise :)               g0> Download the latest and you should be good to go!        g0> If you have a display file that is not saved at unlimited line length        g0> then you will have this issue, so that is my guess as to why you are        g0> seeing this. Lines are counted by linefeeds saved in the actual file,        g0> so if you don't save the ANSI with unlimited line length (ie ANSImation,        g0> etc) then it will not accurately pause during display.              Well, other then making sure my 132 column x 36 line ansi doesn't word wrap, I       draw them at 131 (if not 130) x 35 (if not 34).       At the moment I put a pipe code PN at the end of the ones that do this. I do       notice that after unpausing the screen, it jumps down a few more lines and       gives the y/n/c pause. However, I think, the file is too big for tdraw to       deal with (which normally corrects those type of issues ..) Anyone know how       to do this in Pablo draw or Moebius?              Thanks g00r00, these ANSi features are a great enhancement.              -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 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 275 424 426 452 550 664 981 1016 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 292/854 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 227/702 229/426           |
