• Upgrade from A39 -> A42 successful

    Hi all,

    I just wanted to post that I managed to upgrade from A39 -> A42 no problems.

    I made backups of the entire /mystic/ folder first, then installed A42 to /root/mystic_upgrade/mystic_a42/ just to get a new install.

    I went to my /mystic/ folder and backed up all the files I needed the new ones from to /mystic/bak/ and copied the new updated files from /root/mystic_upgrade/mystic_a42/.

    I repeated this step for the files that needed replacing from the text/ and data/ folders, and then modified the data/default.txt from my A39 install with the updated prompts.

    After I ran upgrade and then finally re-compiled the mpl's in the scripts/ folder recursively and launched the server.

    I am able to connect to my BBS and assuming that this gets out I can post and hopefully receive echomail still, in fact I'm sure that everything will work just as before the upgrade.

    Thanks to g00r00 for making this all happen.

    Awesome. Looks like I did everything right then. I celebrated my successful upgrade with a new feature on the pre-login. StackFault's ThreatSentry app. I think it's quite wonderful and clever.

    There are some really very clever people on here keeping this old time system alive, and I am grateful to know some of them.

    Now I just need to figure out how to do ansi's to really give my BBS home
    some uniqueness.
