I finally upgraded to 3.20 the other day, it went perfectly and only took about 15 minutes. No problems at all. That was nice. I was wondering if GoldED will still work with the new version?

Why wouldn't it?

Maybe you could try it and let us know.

One of the changes in 3.20 is that internal codes have doubled in maximum length. I've tried GoldEd in the past (but don't currently use it), and I remember GoldEd using the internal codes, so I suppose he may want to know if GoldEd will work with the longer internal codes.

Yes. According to the Github site for Golded, the code has been updated to support the msgs.ini upgrade. I just don't know anything about coding or how to compile the latested code for Golded.

Well, I would think that it would, in this case at least. The *maximum* length of the code may have increased, but if all the guy did was
upgrade his board to v3.20, the *actual* length of the codes didn't
change. If it worked before, it should still work. Same codes.

Hey Richard!

Yes. According to the Github site for Golded, the code has been
updated to support the msgs.ini upgrade. I just don't know anything
about coding or how to compile the latested code for Golded.

There are most likely precompiled binaries for Windows out there in the wild. If you head to the GOLDED echo and ask, I'm sure they will point you in the right direction. You will need a copy more recent than when it was updated to support msgs.ini.

Nick

So my question would be does Synchronet STILL use the msgs.cfg file or just the new msgs.ini file? MY version of Golded doesn't work with the msgs.ini file.

Synchronet v3.20 does not use/update the msgs.cnf file. You'll likely still have the file around after upgrading from an earlier version, so maybe GoldEd will just use that file.

MY version of Golded doesn't work with the msgs.ini
file.

That might work fine... for a while.

I know nothing about programming, compiling or code, BUT on the GitHub repository for Golded-plus, it looks like there's been an update to support the msgs.ini upgrade to Synchronet. I would you go about to compile this and create an Golded.exe to work with Syncronet? I've installed Visual Studio and tried to build it, but really have no idea what I'm doing.

First, I would look for any documentation or public discussions about how Windows builds of Golded-plus are expected to be compiled and linked. Lacking that, I'd load their Solutino (.sln) file into Visual Studio/C++ and use the "Build Solution" menu option. If it reported success, I'd look for the created .exe and/or .dll files that resulted.
