• Re: Total Callers #

    From Cmech@21:2/117 to Zarnock on Fri Oct 5 04:55:37 2018
    * An ongoing debate between Zarnock and All rages on ...

    Hey everyone, just curious - is there a way to change your total
    callers #? I've been testing out a new Mystic BBS deployment and as a result have logged in several times. I can just delete callers.dat to erase the logins, but can't seem to find a way to change the total
    number of calls back to 0?

    Do you want it reset to zero or 1?

    Well I just wanted to reset it as close to a "fresh" BBS count as possible.
    So 1 or 0 is fine either way. I was just curious if there was a way to set
    it lower.

    I see you are running 1.12 A39, which is good, this has only been tested on A39! Also note this is a Windows 32/64-bit executable (I don't do linux, sorry).

    Download file http://cmech.dynip.com/mcallerz.zip, unzip and copy mcallerz.exe to the Mystic HOME folder and execute. Your caller count will now be zero. :)

    If you want to, backup the mystic.dat file as it is the only file changed, just

    in case.

    you would have to code a util that would reset the count that is in the mystic.dat to change it. i made one for 1.07 way back because it came with 113 when you installed it. lost the source sadly. the records for the
    mystic.dat and other files in in the doc directory in your bbs.

    Are you sure its in mystic.dat. I thought Mystic, was calculating total calls by adding total calls of each user, from the users.dat file. Can you pinpoint the field in the record of the mystic.dat file, that holds that number?

    I think that's part of mystic.dat so without deleting it, the numbers will stay. In truth it could be hacked with a hex editor but would take some work
    to find where it's stored in there. It should be in records.112 (the address it's stored) under the INTERNALS MYSTIC.DAT area.

    so:

    SystemCalls is it ;) That makes sense hope it was xqtr that was looking for

    Yup, I wrote a utility pgm that will zero it out, a slight mod and it could set

    any value if that was needed. {chuckle} just holler. :)

    I had a failure on the primary system that was hosting my BBS originally.
    This happened at a pretty unique time after getting a new job, a new house, etc. As I'm finally getting settled in I'm working on getting the system up and running. Unfortunately between the job/house I have way less disposable time, but I do hope to have everything working soon(tm).
