• mutil posttextfile

    From nathanael@21:4/123 to All on Wednesday, March 20, 2019 19:04:47
    I just configured mutil.ini to post my BBS ad, but it came out garbled.
    Why? Posting it manually, importing via /u, works.

    To automatically post my ad once a week, I've created a stripped down ini
    file containing only the PostTextFiles stanza and then created an event type Interval that runs mutil against the ini.

    Is that the proper way to do it?

    Yup, that's the way we do the once a week ads on Mystic.

    not sure what folks consider as 'proper' but yes, that's a way of doing it. Most would use the posttextfiles function to post content to the BOT echo and how they call that is up to them :)

    Posttextfiles long seems to have not been something that plays nice with
    ansi. perhaps if it had been called postansifiles it may have worked better
    out of the gate. My advise is to stick to text.

    I use the PostTextFiles stanza with my advert that happens twice a day
    (ooh)... and that advert uses ANSI just fine.

    What I had to do was first use the mystic ansi editor to save the ANSI file with no CRLF and then line width of 79 chars, once I saved it like this, it works flawlessly.

    Hope this helps for you too.

    That's what I do, except I use cron to run mutil, rather than an event.

    Good to know. I have always had troubles posting ANSI via the function but to be fair it's been ANSI artwork that has come from packs etc. that I wanted to share with others etc. :)

    MUTIL posts a text file. Are you trying to post an ANSI file?

    If so, load it up in Mystic's ANSI editor and save it with "line length" set
    to 79 and then post that file.

    I've been meaning to create a "PostAnsiFile" function, its on the TODO list but there are so many other things also on that list that I think are more important or beneficial to add.
