Hi All,

I'm just curious how many people are using the animated prompts MPL? I know there's a couple of them out there, but I've been using a modified version of g00r00's g-pause.

I think it came with about 9 different prompts. I've created a bunch more and have them running here. The way the MPL is written, it can handle up to 26 different prompts, and right now I'm at the 26 limit.

If there is an interest, I can hatch the new prompts out into fsxNet. I would have to contact g00r00 to get permission to hatch out the modified MPL though.

Let me know if you'd like to see the new prompts. :)

I couldn't get g00r00's original g-pause one to work, it errored out under linux because of the filename. I switched it an got it running BUT I think you just helped me out today over at my board so; I'm taken care of! THANKS.

I do use it, and want to - to answer your question....

For some reason, when you try to compile it by itself it will give you an error. (mplc themes/default/scripts/g-pause) But, it will compile when your run 'mplc -t', which recompiles all of the MPLs in the themes directories. I'm not sure why... Maybe it needs to be run as 'mplc themes/default/scripts/g-pause', or with double quotes...

Glad to hear you got it working. :)

Take a look at the new prompts I uploaded as well. I recreated some old ANSI animated prompts from back in my Proboard days. :)

I'm just curious how many people are using the animated prompts MPL? I know e's a couple of them out there, but I've been using a modified version of g 's g-pause.

I used to use this one, but I rewrote it to:

- use full named prompts (rolling-red-enter.ans) etc
- have a unlimited number of prompts

Its available at my board.

nt prompts, and right now I'm at the 26 limit.

Yeah-- that was my issue ;)

If there is an interest, I can hatch the new prompts out into fsxNet. I wou ve to contact g00r00 to get permission to hatch out the modified MPL though

I contacted g00r00 before publishing my mod of the prompt.

oP!

Let me know if you'd like to see the new prompts. :)

Also I added two kinds of looping, lets say the prompt is:

1
2
3

It can loop as 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 but also as 1 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 3
etc.

Just updated to version 1.1 on bbs.opicron.eu:23 in uploads

I figured out that its the "-", I think only in linux, because if you change it to gpause.mps it works perfectly too... but now I know another workaround if I ever have another mod with "-" in the name... mplc -t.

I ended up figuring it out because ANOTHER mod failed and I put two and two together.... eh.

Take a look at the new prompts I uploaded as well. I recreated some old ANSIanimated prompts from back in my Proboard days. :)

I grabbed them... and wrote you a question in netmail; however, your pauses lorad and thanks for the upload! w00t w00t. :P

Considering it was written in 2001, it was in need of a rewrite. :)

I was looking at making some more changes to it. Do you just put the files into a specific sub-directory, and read from there?

Its available at my board.

I'll have to stop by and take a look.

That is one of limitations that has been bothering me.

I've sent him a message about mine. We'll see what he says. I may make some more changes to it before I hear anything from him. :)

We're working on debugging one section, then it will be ready for release. It'll probably be within the next few days.

It is really easy to make them work. It's just replacing your prompt in Mystic to run the MPL. It also comes with a bunch of prompts, and it's really easy to make more. ;)

Very cool. Thanks. Let me know when they are released and I will pop over
to CastleRock. Probably go there here in a bit now..

Cool as long as there is an "how to" section on how to do what you just said then I will be golden. lol

Dunno if I'm allowed to say that I've seen them - only because I'm the dummy with the weird setup that breaks everything:

But I will say that I think BP's collection of 26 animated prompts are the NICEST ones I've seen so far, too... especially the one where.... theres two "[ ]" boxes on the end of a pause prompt... and inside the boxes it spells out "Press enter" one character at a time.

Its fairly flipping neato - if I'd of seen this in 1991; **Mind Blown**. LOL.

Ya'll are in for a treat... and, plenty of ideas to make your own creations.

26? I'm already working on number 39 for the release... ;)

theNICEST ones I've seen so far, too... especially the one where.... theres two "[]" boxes on the end of a pause prompt... and inside the
boxes it spells out"Press enter" one character at a time.

That was one of the simple ones to put together. Be prepared for 'MiNd BLoWn!'

Have been thinking of switching to animated prompts, but haven't quite gotten around to it yet. :)

You know, it would be quite easy to setup either an fsxNet post, a .TXT file or... some other way - for everyone to create cool pause prompts and have a large list and a list of the bestest ones. You know, if some crazy hacker gives the community an animated pause mode that supports unlimited prompts and all...

That is a possibility. The only problem I see, is a lot of them are done with MCI color codes, which Mystic would interpret in the message reader...

Perhaps they could be hatched out into a file echo. Create a handful, zip them up and Avon or myself can hatch them out to the world. :)
