Hi y'all,
I had a question about building themes for mystic.
does anyone have any or know of any tutorials for how to build out
and awesome menu and theme setup on a bbs? like what are the standard "best practices", what are some of the "gotcha's", and how to implament it?
Wow awesome, thanks for the advice. so far, i have my prod BBS (that i am writing from now, and a test BBS on a VM on my laptop. i am in the
process of testing ANSI art that i am making (although not the greatest yet lol). i am also going to test the menu system with it in a bit. that way if something goes wrong o nthe theme / menu / or something else - i can roll it back to the way it was, and the production BBS doesnt get hurt. Thanks for all the notes. i am going to save it and go over the recomendations you mentioned.
Hi again,
i was wondering if you could direct me to where to get the MRC Chat
mod? i tried looking on google and found what looks like one from back
in 2016, but i have a feeling that might be an out of date one. i am
using the 112a46 ver. of mystic bbs... im not sure if that makes a difference or not...
i am still going over the doc you posted. great info on it.
thanks once again!

Awesome thanks! is there any trick to getting MRC running?
Thanks

ya that would be awesome! thanks :-)
I was trying to figure out, if the MRC plugin needs to go inside of the mystic directory - like in the plugins folder, or if it is a free
standing program unto itself that needs to be installed in some place
like /usr/local/share ...
Did you figure out how to do a scrolling ansi file? I'm looking for help on this too.
Thank you! That's exactly it. :)
Making notes for a 'fresh' Mystic BBS developer is a good idea. I've been making some, mostly setup steps, ansi coding, prompts and menu ideas.
Let me know when you post your notes.
Thanks again!

ya sure thing! right now i would say that i am about 75% done creating my custom theme and menus for my site. i am waiting till i work out all of the bugs in the menus before i copy it over into my production system. After i copy it to the production side, then i will start working on the tutorial for a more simple type theme / menus. I was going to try and record a step by step video of building the theme as well. i was
thinking it would be helpful to everyone out there.
Thanks in advance for doing this, like you I have started the path to creating a custom theme for my board but have had life kinda slow things to a crawl. Having something that others can look to for help in
creating a theme in mystic
sure thing! i am trying to figure out how to do copy and paste from an external doc into syncterm or mystic. that way i could post my menu
layout and commands for mystic.
