  • xtrn_sec etc.

    From Zazz@VERT to All on Fri Jun 5 20:18:41 2015
    I created an ansi file to display the main external (xtrn_sec.ans) and then a xtrn1.ans. If I log in as a user, any user, and change the command shell to the wildcat clone, it works as it should. But if I change to any other command shell it displays the dynamicly synchronet created menu.

    What should I be looking for? Or what am I missing?

    Did you also create the .asc file?

    No,I did not. I'll do that now. I figured if there was no .asc it would display the dynamica menu and if user was logged in as ansi it would look for the .ans file.

    That did it. Once I created the .asc file, it worked.

    Yes that was clear. I want to read the text of a message in a particular color, out of the box synchronet displays the text of a message in white (not bright white).

    The Wildcat! clone shell is working differently because we missed that shell when migrating the shells to use the new(er) method of executing the xtrn_sec.js script instead of calling the internal function "xtrn_section". Apparently the xtrn_sec.js and the xtrn_section are behaving differently. Probably because you don't have an xtrn1.asc file. You need to have the .asc variant (e.g. use ans2asc to create it).

    Yes, thanks. Someone else tipped me off to add an .asc equivalent. So it is working now.

    you need to edit text.dat and enter a color code at the end of that
    line pertaining to msg reading.
