So just started a SBBS after many many years of running a Dialup Telegard BBS.ãIm not seeing a traditional menu editor where you can select the command key and access for that command key etc. So you can make a completly new menu. Is that posisble and are there any tutorials? Sofar Ive been usin Linux VIM editor to edit the look of the default renegade menus and also some of the other .asc or .msg files. I would appreciate any direction on where to begin. Thank youããEbojagerãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Sent from OUTLAND BBSã

Thank youããthere's no real good menu editor. your menu editor is yoru text editor.ããso take the renegade shell and copy it over to a new one. change any commands and then modify your text files.ããalso you can run your telegard bbs as a door on synchronet.ã---ã þ Synchronet þ ::: BBSES.info - free BBS services :::ã

Thank youããMenu files and displayed and command keys are accepted/parsed by command shellsãhttps://wiki.synchro.net/custom:command_shellããIf you're using Synchronet v3.20, the default command shell is now written in JavaScript (default.js), not Baja (default.src). The other stock shells will be converted to JS in due time.ããThe difference between .asc and .msg display files is explained here:ãhttps://wiki.synchro.net/custom:menu_filesã-- ã digital man (rob)ããThis Is Spinal Tap quote #26:ãDavid St. Hubbins: They were still booing him when we came on stage.ãNorco, CA WX: 70.8øF, 73.0% humidity, 5 mph SE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

Thank you ããI know you probably have a *lot* of responses at this point...ããI use Visual Studio Code to edit on the BBS, I usually open the editor in the sbbs/ directory with the following in sbbs/.vscode/settings.jsonããhttps://gist.github.com/tracker1/8840a61470063705d37aaf00019c9d16ããI can edit most of the files without issue this way. Your best bet will be to look at one of the existing command shells, I find the JavaScript ones are easier, but you may well find the .src (baja) based ones easier to work with. Copy one from sbbs/exec/shellname.(js|src) into sbbs/mods/shellname.(js|src) and edit it how you like. This assumes you want new or changed menus. You can then add your new command shell in scfg. You might want to remove shells you don't want to offer if you only want a particular one for your BBS.ããMost of what you need can be found in the synchronet wiki.ã ã ã-- ãMichael J.
