    From Immortal@VERT/IDOMAIN to All on Wed Aug 14 19:17:51 2019
    After performing an update/rebuild the other day now some of my colors in some of the display screens are messed up. What caused this?

    For the record, this is how I updated. I believe so at least. I did it one step at a time and after it seemed to work I made a script to use next time.

    cd /home/bbs/sbbs
    sudo systemctl stop sbbs
    rm exec.tgz
    rm text.tgz
    tar -czf exec.tgz exec
    tar -czf text.tgz text
    export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs
    cvs update -d src 3rdp
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/src/sbbs3; make RELEASE=1 symlinks
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/src/sbbs3/scfg; make RELEASE=1 symlinks
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/exec; cvs update -d
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/ctrl; wget http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/ctrl/text.dat
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/text; cvs update -d
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/exec; ./jsexec update
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs
    sudo systemctl start sbbs

    Thanks

    Thanks for the detailed bug report. It should be fixed now in CVS.

    For the record, this is how I updated. I believe so at least. I did it one step at a time and after it seemed to work I made a script to use next time.

    cd /home/bbs/sbbs
    sudo systemctl stop sbbs
    rm exec.tgz
    rm text.tgz
    tar -czf exec.tgz exec
    tar -czf text.tgz text
    export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs
    cvs update -d src 3rdp
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/src/sbbs3; make RELEASE=1 symlinks
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/src/sbbs3/scfg; make RELEASE=1 symlinks

    that line ^^^ shouldn't be necessary, but doesn't hurt either.

    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/exec; cvs update -d
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/ctrl; wget http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/ctrl/text.dat
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/text; cvs update -d
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs/exec; ./jsexec update
    cd /home/bbs/sbbs
    sudo systemctl start sbbs

    Looks fine.

    i use the following and then maybe delete older files later...

    EXECDATE=$(date --date="@$SDATE1" '+%Y%m%d%H%M')
    tar -czf ctrl_$EXECDATE.tgz ctrl
    tar -czf exec_$EXECDATE.tgz exec

    here's a paste of the script i use... it is pretty comprehensive and allows for
    easy adjustment... there's really only one line that needs to be set... then to
    choose from one of the four available BUILDOPTS lines depending on if you want a release or debug build and if you want dosemu or not... other options can be added in the BUILDOPTS line if needed... BUILDOPTS is used on all compile lines
    so everything is built the same way each time...

    Wow I figured I messed things up somehow, not stumbled upon a bug. I'll update again and let you know how it goes. Thanks

    Is there a way to change the color of message text?

    Do you mean when you're reading messages, or when you're writing a message?

    If writing a message, it depends on your message editor. fseditor and SlyEdit allow changing the color of your text with the Ctrl-K hotkey.

    If you're reading using your own BBS, and if you're using DDMsgReader, the msgBodyColor setting in the theme configuration file for DDMsgReader sets the default message color used when reading messages.

    It looks like you were (probably) typing pipe codes in your message to get the colors.. It looks like you were using SlyEdit to edit your message - SlyEdit allows you to change your text color using Ctrl-K, so you shouldn't have to manually type pipe codes to get colors in your message.

    What about the regular FSEditor? (checking..) I can change color but not to the bright ones. Go fig.

    Yes, in fseditor (using it here), high intensity is an option: Ctrl-A H

    I just checked with FSEditor and it looks like it does indeed allow use of bright colors..? You do so by enabling the high intensity attribute, and then one of the colors.
