Hi g00r00,

I think there is a slight issue with the forwarding of files with attached
.TIC files to downlinks.

If multiple files come in with the same file name (different extensions), Mystic will only create one .TIC file.

I am running a38 Compiled 2018/01/01 14:50:45 on Linux/64. I know this is an older version...

Here is a snippet from my logs:

If I'm looking at this correctly, my system sent 4 files, but only 2 .TIC files. The other 2 .TIC files would have both been named sportnet.tic, which would have been a conflict with the sportnet.tic that already existed in the filebox.

Is there a way to rename a .TIC file, if it already exists in the directory? Possibly, it could be changed to sportnet1.tic, sportnet2.tic, etc.

I know you don't have much time to work on Mystic at the moment, but maybe
you could add this to your TODO list. :)

Thanks,

I'll have to determine what its supposed to do in this situation first because I don't know that the file will be properly processed as it flows through if the .tic doesn't match the filename.

I wonder what AllFix would do in this situation, for example.

I know when the files come in to the system here, from HTick, they have names like, 2bhbdjfa.tic, 2bhgdjga.tic, etc. TIC files from BinkIt have names such
as ti_003jh.tic, ti_003jd.tic, etc. I'm not sure the name of the .TIC files really matters, as long as the information inside them is accurate.

Hope this helps...

When I used Allfix with mystic and other bbs packages it created random tic names, then copied them to their fileboxes... this is an old badtics.log
