Is there an easy way in a script or menu command to set change a users theme depending on conditions or selections ? I am assuming maybe the only way is just to set the users account setting for that in my script? If so, will this update instantly to effect what they are doing on the BBS right then ?

I am basically wanting to use my startup script to determine a certain theme depending on the users ansi capabilities or term size on connection and assign the theme I want for each. I fairly sure I know the way to do this, but just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something easier.

Additionally, does anyone have any real mpl documentation ? Something that gives me more of a reference to available functions and variables built in ?

Thanks

I read in Mystic A48 changelog there are a bunch of Python functions to autoload ansi of configs based on the term size.

Also Mystic will autoshow the Ansi files based on smart naming. So I think most

Is that what you mean?

No, I am utilizing that feature at the moment already. I was going to use it

































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































for a way to fully be compatible with ANSI and ASCII in both 80 and 132 sizes and also using lightbar menus. Right now I don't see a way Mystic will adjust lightbar menu item locations bases on terminal size. The only way I see it working is either using two difference sets of menu entries for each screen size or two seperate themes.

I guess I could just use the ansi display file for both screen sizes and then set Access Strings to load different lightbar menu items depending on screen size. That is probably the best way to do it. I am going to play around with that method I suppose. :D

In the accounts menu (A on a stock BBS from the main menu) you can press K to change the "Language" which is actually changing the theme. If you look at the accounts menu in the mystic cfg you will see what menu command is run to make that happen, so you can replicate it in a script easy enough then.

Hope this helps.

I love the inner lingo :P and that sounds like a approach I would take too. Thanks for the heads up.

So we don't have any GREAT options here, but I've put together the most 'new' stuff available - it includes mpl docs, whatsnew.txt (for new functions), 19 MPL tutors by Black Panther, xqtr's MPL tutor, xqtr's MPY
