Hi g00r00

I use the -u -p switches from a batch file when running Mystic to speed up my local login on my Windows box.

So there's a shortcut with c:\path\to\mystic -uAvon -ppassword

What I'm wondering is could you add an acceptable way for me to pass the
input field manipulation code |-Y as well during this command line startup?

That way I can force the Invisible Login question to default to yes. While I just figured out who to get this working under a normal login sequence it
seems the command line switches can't handle something like

c:\path\to\mystic -uAvon -ppassword|-Y

I wonder perhaps should there be an option switch after -p that can be called so if the user has the correct Invisible Login ACS then Mystic just logs the user in as invisible without the need for the yes/no prompt to even appear?

That may be easier to code than my first suggestion?

Thanks for your consideration.

Best, Paul

Hello gallaxial,

Request :

I'd like to see this too. I know some folks have much wider and longer terminals but I'd like to see support for an 80x30 terminal that I use myself.

A dynamically aware/updating terminal session based on XxY values would be killer. Obviously, netrunner would need this as well... :P

But think of the possibilities! Doorgames able to take advantage of all the extra real estate would be slick. Especially if the doorgame could force resizing. Not to mention some of the newer art floating around these days.

I want to do this... sort of.

It can't really be dynamic and still be completely themeable, so I think its going to be up to the SysOp to create themes for certain screen sizes. But when selecting the theme, it can dynamically resize the terminal to match the theme size. I also want to experiment with jumping between 80x25 and other screen sizes on the fly for things like 80 column scrollers, etc.

I planned to do a directory/theme revamp a year or two ago but honestly it kind of got shit on when I was asking for opinions, so I put off doing it. Most
of the negative feedback was related to directory changes though.

And there is still the issue of message input being sort of locked to 80 columns, so that people on other BBSes can properly read it. The way that I was planning to compensate for that in say a 120 column window was to have the message input still at 80 characters, but use the other space for things like the subject, msg to, on-the-fly word suggestions, etc.

Thanks for the suggestions this is good stuff!

Yep, I've often thought it would be nice to see a bit more on the screen when scrolling an artfull BBS.

Hi G00r00,

Not that you don't have enough to do {chuckle} but what would be involved in increasing the line/row length for the MIS window? An option for 25 or 50 lines

would be super, mainly for the Messages screen that I monitor fairly close. I can set the DVM line length (MODE CON LINES=50 COLS=80) but Mystic ignores/resets it. :( I also display other logs in a separate window using GNU Tail.exe and it allows any length :)

I do have that on the list! One of the hold up is I have to decide if I want MIS to be themable like the Mystic 2.0 demo was, or if I want to make it dynamically resize based on the screen size.

At the very least I want to add in the option to toggle the logo on and off.

Does this mean that 25 lines is an issue then? I use that for my login
menus.. ;-;

Well, if people don't use a 25 line terminal it will scroll a line off the screen. People have a choice of running 24 lines with a statusbar or 25
lines, so its always safest to use 24 lines.
