  • Text phrases and sentences

    Has anyone ever coloured their text phrases and sentences in Mystic BBS or just left them default?

    For the most part, PiBBS is effectively default Mystic. Though, the parts I have edited all use a specific colour scheme. So...both?

    I changed some colors to make things more consistent between the different prompts depending on their type (warning, error, info etc.), and also added some delays instead of prompting the user to hit any key.

    I also changed some phrases, like "e-mail" --> "PM" and "file/message base" --> "file/message area".

    It still feels a little strange to "join group" when changing file groups... :-D

    Best regards

    Yeah, I need to redo several commands to make them consistent across the board and add things like "fast goodbye" to all menus so you don't have to drop all the way back to log out qickly.

    This is actually something I have been slowly working on. If your talking about prompts anyway. I'm slowly going through and setting them up to match the color scheme of my BBS. Its a bit tedious but will be nice when its done.

    Considering it seems like there is around 500 or so and its takes a bit of time on each I bet many people don't customize them.
