How to change login screens in syncronet? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jonblaze02302 · 2021-08-21 01:00 So i busted out a bunch of login screens for my bbs but I am unsure where to put them? sbbs/text/? or sbbs/text/menu? Or do i need to convert them to ascii? I got a buncha doors installed and even have a dialup line coming. But telnet is good for now! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- codefenix · 2021-08-21 02:26 This page from the Synchronet wiki outlines pretty much everything you need to know about ANSI, ASCII, and text screens. [http://wiki.synchro.net/config:text\_files](http://wiki.synchro.net/c onfig:text_files) It has a really helpful flowchart explaining the names, folder locations, and sequence of screens that get shown during login. And, no, you do not necessarily need to convert your ANSIs to ASCIIs or any other format. You can leave them as ANSI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro1337- · 2021-08-21 11:39 synchronet is probably the one bbs where reading the docs pays off. they're straightforward and easy to read and interpret. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fang-castro · 2021-08-21 18:01 what's the address [of your BBS]? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jonblaze02302 · 2021-08-21 18:07 It is bbs.w1cjf.com port 419. I've been having connectivity issues thru my VPN so its somthing I am going to need to work on the next few days. Going to keep it 10 nodes and try to make a huge file and message base based bbs. I will prob be changing the host name to one of my other domains bada-bong.net so its kinda in limbo thing. I have it on a amd thread ripper but think ill build a dedicated machine and throw it on a fiber link on my switch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dmine45 · 2021-08-21 22:13 >If you need any help setting it up, feel free to drop me a line. 20 year Synchronet veteran here.

Packet radio! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jonblaze02302 · 2021-09-06 20:55 ya i have all the stuff to do it.. i would love to see if it would work with a text version of synchro. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HerpieMcDerpie · 2021-09-06 21:28 Possible. Get my some LORD running over 2m :) I have a BBS up and I've been (sloooooooowly) working on a watered down port of LORD for it. Just need more time in the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jonblaze02302 · 2021-09-07 00:48 Ya my problem. I was thinking lord would work good on 2m haha I was gonna run a amp but ill stick to a vertical and a 100 watts haha ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Taclink · 2021-09-07 13:08 Not poopooing your love of LORD, as I do too... BUT Land of Devastation actually has a completely ASCII mode, ANSI mode, and then RIP if you want to go whole hog. It's pretty fancy for what it is. Can't get laid in that game though. Food for thought with the potential packet port idea. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HerpieMcDerpie · 2021-09-07 13:28 No getting laid?! I'm out.. Actually, I really appreciate you posting this. I'll certainly take a look! While I'd enjoy coding my own packet-able game, something already made would be great and fun to explore. I'll check it out!
