Hey, just wanted to let you know that it seems the YES/NO prompt box doesn't wanna work with posting a message. It seems to work just fine in the prompt simulation, but when I try it out on an actual message base it just sits
there and won't let me do anything.

Maybe I followed the example wrong on the wiki? Here's what I'm using:

I had this same issue with the new release. When it asks 'Invisible Login?' with the Yes/No prompt, no matter what I choose, it will send a carriage return, and just sit there.

As I was unable to login to the board, I ended up having to restore the 'mystic' executable into the /mystic directory. I know it's not wise to mix executables, but it seems to be working.

Nevermind... I'm an idiot... I forgot to recompile the MPLs in the script directory. I looked at the logs, and noticed it was trying to run the
bulletin and onliner MPLs, but it wasn't showing on the screen. I recompiled them, and everything is running smoothly...

Sorry about the false alarm...

Okay its super late so I can't look at it now. I just stayed up and worked all night on getting A36 out and then doing some data file changes and adding in the much requested user purge and packer into MUTIL. I want to eliminate MBBSUTIL soon(ish).

But I will make a note of it to look at in my TODO and try to get a fix out quickly if it turns into a bug.

Yeah this is an odd situation that isn't typical. Usually Mystic will print a message if the MPL version is different. But the version increments with the alpha number, and for the first time we had about 20 builds of A36 which blows up that entire system that I've been using lol.

As a result you won't get the warnings about MPL version, you'll just get weird behavior and maybe even crashes if I make engine changes in the same line of pre-alphas.

Most of my upcoming work is going to be with Python so at least there is that.

This may not be a problem with the Yes/No prompt but instead it may be an
issue with what ever comes after that. I would suggest checking out an MPL scripts that you might be automatically be loading in prelogin. Make sure
that they are all compiled with the new version of mplc.

Yeah, he figured out it was an MPL version mismatch after. Still doesn't address my issue =) I'm patient though, hopefully it gets fixed soon, if
it's not something I screwed up on my end.

And thank you for that g00r00. Mystic rocks.

I created a packet inspector command line utility, by the way. It's will display all info in a packet including the kludge and full message. Very helpful for browsing packets in your in/out directory to see where they are headed. Let me know if you want m
