    [This is one fix for the a47 /scroll issue in MRC 1.29a.]

    Mystic updated its ANSi Viewer, and the way it reads data for those viewers. Instead of using the DATA LINE in a menu command, Mystic now uses .ini files.

    Backup mrc_client.mps in your themes /scripts directory.
    Edit mrc_client.mps in your themes /scripts directory.
    Find line "MenuCmd('GV','mrcscrl;x;y;'+ChatLog+';END')" - mine is line #1370, but I may have modified my file, so yer looking for that MenuCmd I put in quotes...
    Change it to the new format: "MenuCmd('GV','mrcscrl;'+ChatLog+' /end')"
    Now, we'll need to create an mrcscrl.ini file. It accompanies mrcscrl.ans - and now contains the information Mystic needs, and all options about how you want to display this instance of ANSi Viewer. Its gonna mess up the color mci codes, but here is my setup:

    paulie420@paulie420-ThinkPad-T430s:~/bbs/mystic/themes/default/text$ cat mrcscrl.ini

    One other thing that *I* did was edit the mrcscrl.ans to state "ESC to QUIT" as I think the old version used... "Q", or something else. I forget, because I deleted the original mrcscrl.ans.

    I didn't wanna post this here cause maybe everything didn't transfer easily. If anyone needs my files, I can create a tiny ZIP and get it to ya - but I'm sure some ops will be able to figure it out no problem. :P w00t w00t.

    Actually, no it didn't fix it.. i am seeing what the issue is though, the screen is off by about 3 lines, the bottom footer is now showing above the input line. It should be about 3 or 4 lines lower. The header shows but gets pushed off the screen. I thought it was maybe a screen resolution but that is 80x25 .. Not sure where to go from here now.. OH well..

    Hello friend;

    What exactly are you asking for?

    There is no such thing as a 'copy of [MRC]'. You might as well ask for a copy of the entire internet...that would be easier.

    Also, you are currently taking part in the BBS version of multi-relay chat! I am not a member of your system, and yet, I can read and reply to your message!

    I think I have answered your question, but I would not be suprised if you
    have more. I can only hope I have the answers you need!

    Hopefully, you know how to ask...

    MRC is Multi-Relay Chat by Stackfault of The Bottomless Abyss BBS.
    There are over 100 BBSes that take part in the IRC-like chat.

    Its a software add-on for Mystic BBS software.
    There are also solutions for other BBS softwares, now, created by others in the community.

    To answer the OP, MRC is available from The Bottomless Abyss BBS - and many other BBSes like Quantum Wormhole, 2o fOr beeRS or The Agency.

    Just make sure you download the newest version, which I think is... 1.29a at the moment.

    ______ __ __

    I had this exact problem, it's because the window that is created by Mystic when a user logs on is basically a DOS window, and with the new A47 the settings for it changed. What you need to do is open the box that is created on your task bar and when opened right click on the upper left hand corner then choose settings, when the Console WIndows Properties window opens change the window size to 80 width and 24 height..

    That will fix the issue... I went crazy with this for a couple of weeks. There is also some changes that needs to me made in the mpl on how it calls the screen. I am not sure what they were, I am sure Paulie420 or one of the other guys can fill you in on that...

    Some of us have worked up fixes for these issues. The problem is that Mystic a47 uses a new (GD) command syntax - so fixing scrollback is easy, you just have to edit the .mpy with the correct (GD) command syntax. I think I have a fixed version ZIPPED up... it certainly isn't a certified or released 'fix', but maybe I should add the ZIP to 2o for ppl to download. I've sent it to a few folks...

    Lemme see if I can't find the zip. It has the edited .mpy, and a few ANSI files... and I think an .ini file, to make it all work happily on a47.

    I'll put it in the 'Other Mystic Mods' file area on 20ForBeers.com:1337... we'll name it mrc_fix_unsupported.zip.
