    Hello,

    From the display codes doc:

    Question: Where are the random quotes stored?

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    From the display codes doc:
    QO - Replaced with a randomly generated Quote of the Day

    Question: Where are the random quotes stored?

    From July 2017.. here's something from g00r00 at the time

    [snip]

    This will show a random quote found in quotes.dat from the DATA folder.

    The format is:

    Random quote 1
    *
    Random quote 2
    *
    <anything here
    *

    Basically its a block of text ending with a * on its own line to signal where the quote stops. Mystic will spit out multiple lines if there are more than one, so you can do:

    My quote here is more than one line
    Here is another one

    And another one
    *
    This is a second quote
    *

    [snip]

    Hope that helps :)
