Up until today, all of my use of the nodelist browser was done locally. Today
I was trying to use it while telnet'd into the bbs, but I was having some erratic behavior.

If I was using Netrunner, after pressing B for the browser, I'd get 8-10
blank lines and some clutter on the bottom line, but it would not show anything.

If I use mt32 (mtelnet), I press the B and it does nothing, if I press enter again, the menu refreshs and I have the command prompt again.

If I am ssh'd into the BBS machine, using nodespy to login in locally, it
works fine.

I have a basic install and have not done much modding yet.

Sounds like settings. There really are settings in both the terminal and
Mystic itself. With Mystic they are under L Login/Matrix Settings. They are Default CodePage, Local CodePage, Ask CodePage, Ask Theme, and Ask Emulation. Things have to match up between the terminal & mystic. The normal default is everything set to CP437 (terminal & mystic), but you can set it to Ask on CodePage and Emulation then it will ask like BBS used to in the old days ;) That way you can try all settings and see what is going on.

I did finally figure it out by accident (at least with NetRunner, I only
tried mt32 because NetRunner was having issues). It was because I had the status line on in NetRunner. Turning that off and the nodelist browser works fine.

When I select the nodelist browser in Mystic it only shows the list for one
of my networks, not all of them. What am I doing wrong?

Greetings,

Can anyone tell me where the nodelist browser looks for the nodelist? It
seems every once in awhile my nodelist browser claims there are zero nodes?

Regards,

It's a file called nodelist.txt that is created when you run the merge nodelists stanza in MUTIL. Hope that helps :)
