I know I'm running the version that I put in the title as that's what is showing when I get the version info from the CFG app (when running ./mystic -cfg)
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
I copied over the new ansi's and ini but my BBS is still using the old one. Did I forget a step? (obviously I did... but what)
Its a different command change the menu command to M! and that will use the new Index Reader
I upgraded everything and it all works ok, however I just realised that for some reason (unknown to me at least) the Message Index Reader hasn't changed.

Probably the same step I forgot too Christian.. Change the command I to the new Index reader I think it is M! Or something like that.. I said
the same thing when I saw it on Avon's board and I didn't have it on mine..

So when I consider it "done" you'll have to go in and change it back to
MI from M!

A simple request? Could you point both to the new index reader for a release? That way it doesn't break in one upgrade, and it gives those of us who forget steps a chance to not break our boards. lol!
I'm glad that it hasn't changed to MI yet as I installed the latest prealpha and M! borks up with weird color bleeding and messed up lists. Not to mention for some reason whenever i run it it asks me upon opening whether I want to unsubscribe from something, yes or no, sometimes it isn't even a message base, it's a one liner from the rumours script!?!
How it thinks a one liner
is a message base I don't know. It's kinda funny but kinda annoying as I really wanna use the new index reader.

Did you recompile all the scripts? Make sure you copied all the new msg_editor files to your text directory. And you did run the update program, right? lol! Just checking!
Just make sure everything's up to date and recompiled, and that stuff should go away.
You need to copy over msg_index* to your TEXT directory.

You forgot another Step.. msg_index.ini to your text folder along with msg_index.ans and msg_index_help.ans to the text folder, also need to
copy cfgroot4.ans to data directory..
I too forgot this step! LOL

Lol I already did that haha =)
I will do it again though, just for sanity checking
Please do. If you scroll back you can find at least 3 other people who reported the exact same problem, all of which were fixed when they copied over the msg_index* files.
One of the pre-alphas a while back I posted that this must be done
because the prompts were changing so the default msg_index* have
changed. If this is missed and you have the older version of those
files then it will do exactly what you're describing.
I didn't put it in the upgrade.txt because there still might be changes made to the format of those files, so it was very easy for people to
miss that post I made.
haha, no I did that step too... however i figured it out. somehow I had some corruption in the .ans file when I copied it, and copying it again fixed it.
Now I just gotta figure out a way to modify the ans to use my color scheme... I just tried it and borked it again lol... lucky I copied the original and not moved it =)
Once again, legend! I did copy them before but I think I must have
borked up the ansi in copying as I diffed them and there were some differences, even though the filesize was the same, but after a new copy it works.

That happened to me, you have to copy over the new msg_index* it didn't get added in to the upgrade.txt g00r00 put out. Once I copied those
couple files over it works pretty damn good now.
in the ansi or script. I need to figure out if it's my end or mystic
first before I raise any questions about it specifically though, unless anyone else has this issue too....

Yep that cleared it up. I do still have a crash though if I change from whatever it's displaying (for example subscribed only) to all groups or unsubscribed only it crashes syncterm or dumps me back to my local terminal.
It happens every time, not sure if it's an issue with my laptop, my connection, the session being sent a HUP command or what, but it didn't
do it in the old version, so I think it's more likely a dodgy HUP code

Yes, maybe I will do that for one alpha. But its usually not about time, people either read the whatsnew/upgrade/fsx forum and implement the changes or they don't. Sometimes people forget a step or even I forget
to document a step. Either way they never know until something breaks anyway :)

Everything seems to work as it should, in spite of my my reckless lack of document reading lol... trying to train myself to read first and ask
later haha o.O
I need to make it a bit easier somehow to see the changes in each alpha though, as the whatsnew from 1.11 to 1.12 is like a 150kb text file by now.
As I have added sections to the wiki with each release this has helped a bit I feel. I also find the wiki search useful when it comes to finding mentions of something I may be looking for across multiple entries of whatsnew.txt
For me the wiki has been very helpful in this regard..
