• CTRL+A Codes for SBBS

    From Jagossel@VERT/OUTWEST to All on Tue Jan 8 08:14:00 2019
    I have been thinking about adding the ability to import and export text ãfiles using the CTRL+A codes to Cobalt (my own ANSI art program). However, ãI am not even sure where to begin.ãã1) What is the file format called?ã2) Is it just exclusive to Synchronet?ã3) Is there a specs document available?ã4) If possible, where can I find a viewer?ã5) Would this feature be something a SysOp would be interested in?ããThe reason why this came up is because I tried to set up my own BBS using ãSynchronet, but when I was poking around the files to see if I can start ãcustomizing it, I noticed that the files for some of the screens where ãusing the CTRL+A codes. The issue is that PabloDraw doesn't support it, ãso I wouldn't know if Cobalt would export it correctly or not.ããThoughts?ãã-jagãCode it, Script it, Automate it!ãã... Fear not!

In fact, I think you definitely should customize your BBS'sãmenus, since that helps make your BBS unique. The way I see it is that theãdefault menus are an example of what the BBS package can do, and it's up to youãto customize it to your liking. Leaving the stock menus means it will lookãjust like every other stock Synchronet BBS, which is not really interesting.. ãIt's good to see something different and unique.ããBack in the 90s, at least with other BBS software, I always thought customizingãthe menus was necessary anyway. Other BBS packages I used didn't have anãinternal configured list of doors like Synchronet does, so it was necessary toãcustomize your menus to add commands to run the various doors you wanted to setãup for your BBS. So it was always natural to me to customize the menus, andãnot use the stock menus.ããWith Synchronet, the stock menus are not really how I envisioned my BBS to beãlaid out anyway. When I brought up my current BBS in 2007, I wanted my menusãto operate and look similar to how I had my BBS menus in my original BBS in theã90s, so I created my own command shell and menu ANSIs for Synchronet. ãInitially I was able to re-use many of the ANSIs I had from my 90s BBS,ãmodified a bit for use with my Synchronet command shell.ãã Da> Ultimately I'd love to do a lightbar style menu, but I'm absolutelyã Da> rubbish at design and User Interfaces. ããThere is a lightbar shell included with Synchronet - See lbshell.js (and itsãwrapper, lbshell.src, which is a Baja script that just runs the .js shell).ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

I miss messing with all ofãthem, but I love all the features Synchronet has.

I want to say echicken's board has something closer to what I'd like, withãa menu selection on the left, which brings up sub-menus on the right. ããSomeday.. maybe.

You can change the commands to whatever youãwant too, if that suites you.ããOne thing I didn't like so much about some BBS menu sets is that if you're inãone sub-menu, you often have to go back to the main menu to get to anotherãsub-menu (such as going from the file transfer menu to the games menu, forãinstance). I wanted to have a menu structure where users could go from (prettyãmuch) any sub-menu directly to any other sub-menu (basically requiring a set ofãglobal commands).
