  • Nodelist browser in Mystic

    From hal@21:1/177 to All on Thu Mar 4 22:37:08 2021


    I'm having an odd problem at the moment where the file toss works and places FSXNODE's FSXNET.Znn nodelist files into the right folder FSX_NODE but then
    my BBS doesn't seem to process it and I cannot use the browse nodelist to
    view whats in the network.

    I've been following Avon's videos but am wondering if I've missed a step

    When I select option B in the messages menu (for Nodelist Browser) I get the prompt for a query. Entering a query just drops back to the messages menu.

    Any ideas? what have I missed?

    I rewatched Avon's videos and searched the docs and the wiki and can't see where this is setup

    Where do I start?

    thanks

    mutil runs that. It needs the right .ini generally. My nodelist.ini looks like:

    ; maint.ini for Mystic Pi BBS bcw142.zapto.org
    ; from omutil.ini (Original mutil.ini)
    ;
    ; Purge, pack & merge nodelists
    ;
    [General]

    MergeNodeLists = true
    logfile=mutil.log
    loglevel=3
    maxlogfiles = 3
    maxlogsize = 1000

    You need to run the nodelist import option with mutil. That doesn't happen when files come in with tics.
