In case you are wondering why the XQ-ILC mod, is crashing lately and it's unusable, it's because there is a corrupted data packet, in the FSX-DAT echoarea.
In case you are wondering why the XQ-ILC mod, is crashing lately and it's unusable, it's because there is a corrupted data packet, in the FSX-DAT echoarea. It's not that the whole message base is corrupted, it's just
the specific message, which probably originated from another bbs, that perhaps crashed while posting it and the data packet ended to be corrupted.
An easy way to fix this, with out the need to update the code, is to delete the JAM base files for the FSX_DAT echoarea, from your bbs. In Mystic BBS, there are inside the DATA folder. When you delete them,
Mystic will recreate them and the corrupted message will be gone, which will let the mod to work as before.
What file(s) are those? :
ls fsx_dat.*
fsx_dat.jdt fsx_dat.jhr fsx_dat.lnk fsx_dat.xlr
fsx_dat.jdx fsx_dat.jlr fsx_dat.scn

Yeap... all those... you can delete them safely and Mystic will recreate them, when receives new messages.

the JAM files on my system are held in the messages directory not the DATA directory, I think the data files are created when you create the message
and deleting those essentially wipes the config for the echomail area you defined in Mystic... I could be wrong but for me the JAM message files res
Also, rather than deleting those JAM files could you bot opt to run a rese the message base from within Mystic? Just wondering?
The *.lnk file is important. It contains your links for the area.
If the *.lnk file is deleted for any areas, check your links for the area. there are no links for a message area localy posted messages will not go anywhere.

The link file, contains links (who replied to whom) for the specific base and messages. If you delete all the other files and keep only the link file, to which messages/post will point to? Deleting the other files and keeping that, it may cause problems.
I am not saying delete all link files... only the specific fsx_dat files. If you don't trust me or be sure about it a) don't do it b) keep backups. If someone is not sure which files to delete or don't know where they are, just don't do anything!
And for those, that may didn't read the whole chain of messages, this is only to correct a problem appeared in the XQ-ILC mod. If you don't have it installed, just ignore the whole conversation.
