Hi Everyone,

See, I told you we were working on some great new releases for you!

I'd like to announce another one that will be hatched shortly, that I think
you will love to have!

RCS AFK - Away From Keyboard

This is a Mystic MPL Mod that displays a Matrix Rain screensaver to users, on BBSes that run on Linux or MacOS. On Windows BBSes a beautiful ANSI screensaver is used. After a sysOp-settable amount of time passes, a countdown shows on screen and users Node Status is set to 'Possibly AFK'. After which, node status is set to 'AFK' and screensaver mode starts. If user times out, they are shown an ANSI explaining why, and disconnected. If the user comes back and types a key, they exit the mod and are returned to the BBS.

The entire time, other users checking Who's Online will see the status of any users who are AFK or Possibly AFK.

Oh yea, it looks rad as heck t00. :P

Watch for this to be released in the next day or so!

Where can we see this in action? I assume I need to connect to the Underground, and then idle until it shows up?

I believe tG has it running on the Underground, and I know paulie has it running at 20ForBeers.com:1337.

Bob, I have it running @ 2o... 2 1/2 minutes of idle and AFK runs. Or, go into Paulie's Bar and press "A" to see it load immediately.

However, I am having some kind of Linux character issue and... Mystic is showing a bunch of extra "*" characters for me right now. Sorry...

I've 'fixed' this once before and it just came back yesterday. I don't understand why this is happening. MeaTLoTioN suggested making sure xterm was set to 256 colors, and it is... so; I'm working on fixing that but you wouldn't

I logged in and the AFK mod is very cool.. You need to make one of those "100 hours of...." videos which just shows the saver animation and put it on Youtube. :-)

Thanks, I dig it too - and sorry about the issues I'm having with extra characters right now. :P It normally looks a lot better. Download the mod, theres tons of options for colors and different settings. Have fun with it!

w00t w00t!
