  • Spot scrolling logout ANSI art!

    From Don Rolo@21:4/167 to All on Sat Mar 7 19:45:53 2020

    I changed the logout ANSI art (the dog with the "KALL BACK SOON" message) for
    a custom one of the same size.

    Is there a way to let the new ANSI art stay on the screen when you logout, so people can check it? (in my case, the art scrolls TOO FAST so you can't see a thing and then the SyncTERM or the mystic terminal shutdown too).

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Don,

    Is there a way to let the new ANSI art stay on the screen when you
    logout,

    Probably not and you can never tell what will happen with whatever terminal folks are using.

    Mystic has a nice gallery menu command. You could put a gallery on any of your menus for folks to look through.

    Ttyl :-),

    I searched in the Mystic Wiki but didn't find any idea about how I can do that...
    Will look more deeply.

    Thanks Al!

    You could put a screen pause there although I don't recommend it as users may end up just sitting at the pause prompt when they thought they logged out.

    You could also put a few seconds of delay at the end using the |DE code. I think each |DE is a half second delay (maybe a quarter?) so if you add like |DE|DE|DE|DE|DE|DE at the end that will sit them there a couple of seconds before disconnecting.

    Hello Don,

    Gallery menu command? hmmm... I need to check that.

    Yep, the menu command is GA if I remember right although I have forgotten what options are available to you. It'll be in the docs dir, maybe in the whatsnew.txt.

    I do that:
    Edit your ansi image and write at the end of the line:

    |PN

    This MCI Code will pause your draw at the end.

    Hello Don, You probably figured this out already but I typed all this so I am sending it anyway. =]

    Try setting your DG command up like this, the @19200 slows down the display scrolling so you can see the art, try @1200 it's nice and slow.

    the @end makes it pause only at the end, good for those long scrolling
    ansi's.

    Add g00r00's pipe DE's to your ansi and you should be good to go.

    --------------------------
    Command : (GD) Display a file
    Data : @19200@end@picture.ans
    Access
    Grid Event : Selected
    --------------------------

    *all this info is also on the wiki.

    Also if you want to get really fancy there is a utility called awipe that
    will animate your 80x24 ansi's with various wipes. I use this on my board,
    it's sweet. You can get it on my bbs or I can upload it for you if you like,

    later on..

    you simulate the "modem bauds". So, I put 4800 bauds (don't remember if that the exact number) and now the drawing just appears in a beautiful manner!
