Hi to all,

When i start ./mystic -cfg and then i go to "Network" and select "Edit
Areafix Help", "Edit Filefix Help" or "Edit File Request" i got imidiatly a Segfault and the mystic -cfg is closed.

An unhandled exception occurred at $0000000000412130: EAccessViolation: $0000000000412130 Segmentation fault (core dumped).

I run Ubuntu 20.04.02 LTS 64 Bit, and i install the latest Mystic V1.12 A47
64 Bit PreAlpha Version.

Installed as root at /mystic with chown -R mystic:mystic /mystic changed to mystic user and started as user mystic

Hope this help to fix the problem

Best regards
Alisha

Hi g00r00,

Is there any Mailinglist or Echomail witch you announce when a new prealpha Release is released to know when i shut download a new binary? What i see is that the Name of the prealpha has always the same name, there is no indicator when a new version is uploaded. Is there any plan for the future to extend
the filename by a date and houre prefix to know when a new version is
released.

Best regards
Alisha

There is no indicator other than the date of the file and the date stamp that it shown when you run mystic -ver or mis -ver etc.

I don't really have any plans at the moment to change that but I am open to ideas/suggestions!

Hi g00r00,

For me as a Sysop Point of view to test a prealpha and give you feedback
would be nice to see very fast, without to download and install if there is a new version online or not. The easy way to do this is to extend the existing prealpha download file name by mys112a47_202108142110_l64.rar means this release ist build on the 14th of August 2021 at 21:10 or 09:10pm at utc timezone.

best regards

The date is already set on the timestamp of the file within the listing, so you can already use that to accomplish what you're hoping for in a
very simple way:

For example you can do:
"wget -N http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/prealpha/mys112a47_l64.rar"

I have a small shell script setup to check whenever I think about it:

### begin myschk.sh ###
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/pi/mystic
echo "Current version:"
/home/pi/mystic/mystic -ver
cd /tmp
[ -f "/tmp/mys112a47_p32.zip" ] && rm -f /tmp/mys112a47_p32.zip
wget -q http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/prealpha/mys112a47_p32.zip
echo #
unzip -l ./mys112a47_p32.zip
echo #
read -p "Delete zip? " -n 1 -r
echo #
if [[ $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]
then
rm -f /tmp/mys112a47_p32.zip
fi
echo #
### end myschk.sh ###

I made one real quick that will check for a new version and download it if there is a newer version.

You could easily modify this to send an e-mail or to even unrar it and do a "./install replace /mystic" to automatically install it. You'd still need to keep an eye on the upgrade/whatsnew text though in case there are additional steps needed.

NEW_VERSION=$(wget -N http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/prealpha/mys112a47_l64.rar 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep -c "Saving to:*")

if [ "$NEW_VERSION" -eq 1 ] ; then
echo "A new version of Mystic BBS is available"

# Do whatever you want here
else
echo "No new version found"
fi

"wget -N http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/prealpha/mys112a47_l64.rar"

And that will look at the file date and download the file if its been updated since the last time you've downloaded it. If the filename contained the date stamp within the filename then this would not work.
