      MSGID: 1:129/305 2ab29aa6       TID: GE 1.2        Here's a list of what we've been working on since v1.25/DOS of Renegade        was released. Took some time off after Christmas, but we're back in the        saddle. ;)               Updates since v1.25/DOS was released.               ============================================================================        U - Updated A - Added F - Fixed        ============================================================================                      A. Not really a Renegade Fix, but added Lee Woodridge to the        Renegade Development Team.               A. Added internal OneLiner Program.               New Files :               ONELH.* - Oneliners Header (Optional)        ONELM.* - Oneliners Middle (Required!!)        ONELT.* - Oneliners Footer (Optional)               ONELM.* MCI Codes :               ~AN (Anon - Yes/No) ~AT (Anon - True/False)        ~DA (Date Added) ~OL (The Oneliner)        ~RN (Record Number) ~U# (User ID with '#')        ~U1 (User ID without '#') ~UN (User Name)        ~UL (User Name Lowercase)        ~US (First 2 Letters of Username - iNiQUiTY Style)        ~UU (First 2 letters of username lowercase)               New MENUCMD Keys For OneLiners:               1L - Display Oneliner (Header/Footer & all Oneliners)               1R - Display Random line from Oneliner File               F. Local file upload bug. Before when uploading locally with        the FU command key after 1 upload it would stop and you would        have to repeat the process. It somehow become broken over        the years and no one said anything. Now it will upload all        files without stopping if a *.* is entered for the filename.               F. When a file was moved, if it was a dupe, the file wasn't moved        but the description was. This is no longer the case. If the        file is a dupe, nothing is moved. This prevents dupe file        descriptions.                F. The (~TO) MCI Code in the LASTM.ASC file would display a random        number when viewed while the user was still online. This has        now been updated to show " - " until the user logs off and        the correct time online will be shown by this MCI code.               A. New MCI Code - %XYaa;bb% (aa=01-80 Left to right) and        (bb=01-25 Top to Bottom). Allows format positioning of the        cursor without the need of having your ANSI menu file do it,        for you. Say you wanted the word "Hello!" to appear in the        middle of the screen, it would be used as such:               %XY40;12%Hello!               The above would move the cursor to space 40, line 12, and put        your text of "Hello!" starting there.               U. The Auto Message is now configurable. It is like the oneliner,        last caller, user list, etc. It has a header, main, and a        footer file in the MISC directory.               The auto message is now saved as "AUTOM.ASC" instead of        "AUTO.ASC" to make it conform to the rest of the code base.               New Files :               AUTOH.* - Auto Message Header (Optional)        AUTOM.* - (Can be made, but automagically made when a auto)        (message is created. This is your auto message.)        AUTOT.* - Auto Message Footer (Optional)               U. Disabled Forgot password response for Co-SyOp and above.        This would prevent someone from trying to logon as the SysOp        and trying the forgot password question answer and resetting        it so they can logon as the SysOp.               U. Can now scroll through the node settings without having to        load each node seperately.               A. Added System Config Menu Option (N). SysOp Macros. They were        moved from another submenu to make a more cleaner look and easier        to find.               F. Removed System Config and File Area Editors strings from        the language files to prevent unwanted access. Also removed the        MCI codes that ran these menus (which would've caused a problem        in certain instances.)               A. YES/NO LightBar Choice options added to the YES/NO Prompt MENUCMDs.               F. Split Screen Chat now auto scrolls and stays within it's        borders. Also added help commands that are listed in the center        of the chat screen.                U. When the SysOp breaks into chat via a "Chat Page" with the        SpaceBar the split screen chat will auto load. Otherwise, the        normal line chat will be used.               Chat commands are as follows:        ALT-C - Line Chat ALT-S - Split Screen Chat               U. Teleconference strings are now located within the RGLNG        text file instead of the Node setup options screen in the system        configuration section.                U. RENEGADE.EXE /? now shows what command line parameters are        available to run along with a short message of what each does.               U. All strings are now combined into RGLNG.TXT.               A. New MENUCMD *T to toggle SysOp Chat Availability without        the use of the SCROLL LOCK key. Also, new MCI Code %SA to show        if the sysop is avaliable or not.               U. Removed more strings from Renegade and added them to        RGLNG.TXT for more editing for the SysOp.               U. Redid NewUser Toggle Questions Menu to add all toggles        in one place. Remember to clear your all of your toggles after        you upgrade so the new changes will take effect. Cmd Key of *        will do this for you.               U. User #0 (Default account) can now be cleared for all user        options. Cmd Key of $ will allow you to clear out which        fields you want to be blank instead of having a "." or some        random text in the user data file. This is also a good idea to        do once you upgrade as the forgot password question more than        likely has a space in it's field and more than likely won't        work until you clear the prompt with the $ cmd key.               U. Updated OP Menu CMD options. Be sure to change these in        your NEWINFO menu and PERSONAL info menus or else what you        have listed won't match what it does. ;)                       New OP Menu CMD Options:               1 Handle        2 Real Name        3 Country        4 Address        5 City, State        6 Zip Code        7 Phone Number        8 Age        9 Gender        10 SysOp Defined Question #1        11 SysOp Defined Question #2        12 SysOp Defined Question #3        13 Password        14 Forgot Password Question Answer        15 Terminal Emulation        16 ANSI Color Toggle        17 Color Scheme        18 Screen Size        19 Screen Clearing        20 Screen Pausing        21 Hotkey Input        22 Expert Mode        23 Lightbars Toggle        24 Editor Toggle        25 Mailbox Toggle        26 QWK Configuration        27 * UNUSED *        28 * UNUSED *        29 * UNUSED *        30 * UNUSED *               U. Updated SysOp LOG Output. Now shows a bit more info on        what the user was doing while online. Such as what menus        were accessed (along with menu titles & numbers) and a time        stamp on when things were accessed.              ...
