Very nice. Is the FSE done in MPL or hard coded? ie: Could one wr a tagline program and hook it in somehow? I wrote one years ago for win,linux etc and in the past I've been able to "port" my pascal door to MPL without a whole lot of work.

I think you could make a tag line in MPL but I've never tried. I think someone in the past did a random origin line function before it was
built into Mystic BBS, and a tagline addon would work a similar way.

I had tried before, a long time ago. I even suggested it as a new feature.
You came out with the message editor MPL function and I attempted to use it
to add the taglines to the message, but I never got it to work.

I wasn't clear enough sorry. :) Yes I can make a tagline program in MPL, I am 99.5% positive of that. My question is, is the FSE also in
MPL? So I can put a hook into it? Or failing that is there a way I
could run an MPL before Mystic ads the origin line etc?

If the FSE was already in MPL I would just hack a hook into that to another MPL program.

/OR/ is the auto sig MPL so I could just hook into that?

The problem is that you can't get Mystic go use your MPL FSE in lieu of the built-in FSE.

You can plug into the FS editor using MPL through the prompts if you
want to make a pull down menu or things like that, and you can plug into the actual message content using the Saving prompt as I mentioned.

I think I had tried that. But I never had the success I was looking for. I was using the prompts to run the FSE via MPL.

(Jack Phlash made a random origin line system doing just that)

I think all his app did was change the origin lines of the message base
record. I don't think it changed the message itself.

I just need to revamp it for the newer FS editor and then a tagline
window would be easily possible. I think the problem you ran into is
you could get and change message content, but if you add additional
lines it would not save properly. I need to fix that up.

Maybe that's what was happening and why it didn't work like I was wanting it to. I just assumed that Mystic was not calling the FSE MPL at the proper
place and time for the message to be updated in time. I know there is a
small window when the message text can be manipulated. Like for instance, right now, there a msgtmp file in my node temp dir, but it has only the
quoted text of your message. That is not the actual message file that gets saved to the JAM msg base.

I hope you'll give A18 a try when its out because MPL will have some behind the scene changes. I know at a minimum it will clean up some things you've ran into in the past (the using record elements as array index references for example).

I intend to upgrade. It just that I have to set aside time to do it.

I also hope it'll be faster it tests around 20% faster but I cant really tell a difference on my system.

Faster in what regard?
