• MPL account creation

    From maskreet@21:1/114 to All on Friday, September 23, 2016 17:59:00
    Is it possible to intercept an rlogin and force an account creation with no prompting to the user? I want to move away from GameSrv for the DoorParty server, to have a more interactive and cohesive door server. The
    author is an awesome guy, but the support is extremely intermittent (not a
    bash on Rick at all, I know it's a hobby and people have lives).

    I really wanted to go with MIS2 when g00r00 announced rlogin support, but I don't think he's going to implement auto account creation, for some reason. Auto account creation is kind of a must, since it needs to be seamless for
    the user, and also takes away username choice (BBS tags are necessary and wouldn't work with that).

    Tried Synchronet as well since I thought I read in the rlogin note changes
    that it auto-created accounts on successful rlogin with username and
    password, but evidently it doesn't, just starts the new user app process.

    Anyway, if anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks!

    Actually you can, my entire new user process is an MPL and the use of
    StuffKey which allows one to stuff a string as well if needed.

    Awesome, this gives me hope. So I'd need to run this on the login menu,
    before any other commands are processed? If I can do this, I'm definitely switching to Mystic as the door server. Just need to figure out MPL. I have a reference, but it's kind of old, at least two full versions ago. Still, it should work, I hope. I'm gonna take a look into trying that now.

    If I need help, I know who to hit up =) Thanks again man!

    look at the apply_sample.mps in your scripts

    is you have a newusers.mpx it will ran instead of the normal application.

    Yea - I've never looked at that. Thanks for the heads up reminder.
    Might be something a bit better than my custom one and may have
    better features. Ill have to see.
