BBS: TELESC.NET.BR Assunto: Synchronet with Digital Distortion Logon Matrix plugin De: Winzlo Data: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 22:47:19 -0500 ----------------------------------------------------------- Re: Synchronet with Digital Distortion Logon Matrix plugin By: Winzlo to Nightfox on Thu Apr 30 2026 09:05 pm Wi> While I am unaware of a case where the matrix would not be rendered Wi> properly, t he edge case presumably exists where a user is on a terminal Wi> like VT100 or eve n using some antiquated hardware to really re-live the Wi> experience. I wondered w hat would happen in those cases, since the Wi> documentation for DDLoginMatrix s tat es that if it could not use the Wi> matrix, it would fall back to the answer.ms g fi le, which if memory Wi> serves, is why it has to be included as a command-line argu ment.

Wi> Don't worry about it, I got som ething that I think works, you have Wi> something you know works. :) Once I've l earned [the hard way, Wi> presumably], I'll switch over to the way that really wor ks. I posed the Wi> I have. This has been debunked - answer.msg is still being displayed even with the @!ANSI@ wrapper. I intentionally broke a line in exec/load/dd_lightbar_menu.js while I was working on the non-idle timeout issue I was having with the matrix, and discovered that answer.msg is still being dispayed. So, you were right - emptying the answer.msg file is the only and safest way to eliminate the double-login instruction issue I initially raised. -Winzlo === The Down-Lo BBS bbs.winzlo.com --- SBBSecho 3.37-Linux * Origin: The Down-Lo BBS * bbs.winzlo.com (1:154/140) n mSynchronetn hgVertrauen n hHome of Synchronet n gh[vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net ----------------------------------------------------------- [Voltar]
