  • Re: Bulletins

    From SirRonmit@21:2/120 to ALL on Fri May 26 13:33:11 2023
    So I found out after some testing that if I create a new user, they are allowed to see all new bulletins after logging in. However, no other previous users can see new bulletins - even if they manually go to the BULLETINS screen. So there is a menu or flag somewhere I am missing.

    New user still cannot click (Y), (N), or (C) -- (1) or (0) is allowed. I tried to install a fresh instance of .A48 to \themes\test2 and selected that for my previous user, but still neither item work above.

    Even tried to copy & paste all items into the main folders as fresh, too.

    Thanks for all the help provided and giving me places to look!

    bulletin.mps just looks at the file date and checks if it's newer than the last time the user was on.

    i'm unsure about the previous bulletins though.. i'm able to view them easily enough on mine.

    I also noticed that the mystic.ini says 1.12.A47 when the files are .A48 .. so if I copy all the .exe's from a fresh install to the running, I get DATA FILES .. something about not same version (DOS screen flashes too quickly).

    I'll have to create a whole new and start from scratch and see .. I have a lot of message/file/door data that I'm not sure if MYSTIC allows export/import. :(
