  • per node text files

    From Rampage@1:103/705 to All on Sat Jan 5 14:48:01 2019
    in answer.msg, we have

    (at)CONDMENU:../banner(at)

    to display a banner.msg file if it exists... can we do per node banner files? maybe like this?

    (at)CONDMENU:../banner(at)NODE(at)(at)

    or is that another instance of double parsing of the AT-codes?

    barring that, maybe i could have different answer(at)node(at) files but i haven't found where answer.msg is actually loaded... i know it is before login.js but...

    Nope.

    Yeah, nested.

    The TYPE and INCLUDE @-codes support command-line specifiers, so you could do something like this (instead of using MENU/CONDMENU):

    (at)TYPE:%zbanner%#.msg(at)

    and that would display text/banner<node_num>.msg
