• [ANSI] mind-bender

    From Skuz@21:1/105 to g00r00 on Thursday, December 21, 2017 04:42:36
    Well I'm kinda pulling my hair out over here..
    trying to figure out what is causing my first log
    in screen line# 259 @termtype to all of the sudden show
    itself all chopped up when it is displayed in any t
    erminal client I've used. This was noticed
    when I just upgraded from a36_l64 to a
    37_l64. Now the re
    ally strange thing is that I also upgraded my other win
    7 machinefrom a36_w64 to a
    37_w64. But that mystic system will di
    splay the exact same termtype.ans file perfectly f
    ine without any problems at all. In other words,this
    is a real mind-bender for me because know matter what I've t
    ried to do in pablodraw to fix the crappy chopped
    up screen.. it stays screwed up but only on the l
    inux/64 mystic a37 system. To see for
    yourself what is happeninglinux is on port:23 and
    the window7 is on port:2362I
    'll try uploading the exact same ansi screen in question now to s
    ee if itwill display correctly here in the FSE, see
    what happens.. /U * Wow Trixy!, The

    Skuz, update the db on the win7 box and same thing prob will happen. It is possible how the ansi is saved, I had been wondering about this and will
    check out the ansi and see if can re-save it so can show properly. :)

    I had the same problem with that particular screen (the first one users see when they connect), and Caphood suggested using a util to convert the ANSI to Mystic pipe codes. Seems to work OK now.

    Would you mind e-mailing me the exact .ANS file and where you are using it
    and I will set it up in Linux and see if I can reproduce/fix the issue.

    Sure, like i say it is being user in the default.txt LINE# 259 the ans is called termtype and it is the just first thing a user see when they connect.

    Skuz - It's that ANS2MBBS.EXE I'm sure you have it.

    syntax is: ANS2MBBS file.ans file.txt then edit the file.txt
    to replace all instances of tilde ~ with a pipe code | and save as
    file.ans or whatever name you want to call it.

    and the output and its done.

    sed for the win :) Hypothetically it wouldn't be terribly difficult to use
    sed to convert an ansi to a mystic-pipe text file.

    Anything newer these days are pretty good. I have an Asus RT-AC68R and I love it, but if I wouldn't have gotten this one back then I would've waited for
    the newer Linksys routers (the ones that go back to the way the old WRT
    series looked, but way more beefed up) to come out.

    I tend to like ones that promote open source, too. That way if their GUI
    stuff isn't good enough, you can install whatever you want on it. ;)

    Skuz - It's that ANS2MBBS.EXE I'm sure you have it.

    That fixed the problem with it. I prob have 35% to 45% of all my screens converted to pipe over the years. It's been so long that I've used ans2mbbs that I plum forgot about even using it. Thanks to the tip and reminding me. It's funny how only the default.txt line 256 was effected with display issues out of so many other lines that also use @filename .. Maybe the a37 upgrade has had some unexspected effect on something that deals with line 256. This
    is beyond my pay grade, anyway I'm at peace now.. turning the page and moving on to that primalistic grind. Thanks again.. and happy holidays.
