  • Bullseye Bulletins

    From Mojo@VERT to All on Sat Jun 11 15:42:46 2016
    Ok, I figured out the answer to my question if one bulletin can be called up from another bulletin.


    But I have a new question with the bullseye bulletins. Is there a limit to how many items you can have in one? I put 14 items in it and it works fine. But if I add one more it won't work like it is limited to 14. Is there a way to have it take more than 14 items?


    Thanks
    Mojo

    No, there is no limit to the number of bulletins/items.

    Thanks Digital Man, then my problem is something I have done wrong and I have got to go back and look at everything and figure out why it is not displaying the stuff.

    Thanks

    Everyone,

    Forgive my ignorance, but I have created a nice ansi graphic bulletin that is displaying perfectly in Bullseye. It renders great, but it exceeds a single screen by several lines and generates an auto-pause. I've tried using @POFF@, but it seems to be ignored. If I use @RESETPAUSE@, it works, but then it alters the line spacing on the row causes alignment issues with my ansi graphic. I've successfully converted the ansi to asc/msg ctrl-a codes, but I'm still having problems with formating and the auto-pausing.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    -WitNik

    Looks like a bug introduced this April. A work-around would be to change this line in exec/bullseye.js, from this:

    load(new Object, "typeasc.js", str, "BullsEye Bulletin #"+b);

    to this:

    load(new Object, "typeasc.js", '-openclose', str, "BullsEye Bulletin #"+b);

    I threw a copy of bullseye.js into /sbbs/mods and the fix worked great!

    Thank you for the great support!

    Okay, good to know. I'll need to work on a real solution.

    Thank you for the great support!

    No problem. Thanks for the bug report!
