HI Folks;

Just getting back into BBS, after what seems

forever. I used to run all

the
usual suspects PCBoard, TBBS, RBBS,

Renegade. I started up using

Mystic, which is not a bad program, however

it is closed source, which

I am not in favour of. I found Synchronet

last week, and I haven't been

able to stop playing. Kudos to all,

absolutely awesome program, head

and shoulders above
everything else!

Welcome! and thanks for the kind words.

Now dumb question time, where the heck does

the Sysop menu originate

from. I
have already change up the Renegade menu to

Mystic, and added

everything but
the kitchen sink into it, but I'd like to

add a few things to it. I

look forward to try and help the software. I

have never used jscript, I

always found it a bit cryptic, ahem, fon't

talk to me about C lol.

exec/str_cmds.js is the source for all the

string command (including

sysop-only commands). Let me know if that

wasn't the answer you were

seeking.

Also the actual text that's displayed when using

the ! main menu option is

stored in /sbbs/text/menu/sysmain.asc

Great thank you for the pointers! Looks like I will
have to learn some Js. Baja is great but only does
so much. Without arrays or loops it's a bit
challenging. I was wondering how I could help. Maybe
I could work on the documentation, as it's very
dated and I know people hate to do it, lol.

Thanks
John

Thank you, no that was exactly the answer i was looking for. For now, maybe I will just create a srcond Sysop menu instead of messing the JS code, until I am up to snuff.

Just copy whatever you're working on from exec or exec/load into mods,
which will load locally, and worst case, you can remove the offending
file in mods... pretty much never edit anything under exec directly.

Thanks Tracker, I am just cleaning things up. So many files for a new Synchro user to get familiar with, but I think I got the hang of it now. Thanks for the tip!

Regards,
John
