Just curious if anyone else gets the ansi file for the full screen editor to show the 132x36 sized file? The correct .ini
is loaded when I set my session to that screen size, however, the background ansi file is absent. The file is in the text directory and named properly (still using the default ansi files for testing). Anyone else have this happen, or know the fix?

Thanks!

Actually, it looks like alot of the larger screen size setting doesn't seem
to work. If I set my terminal to the larger size, login, and choose the
normal message editor instead of the full screen that bugs as well.

It does adjust itself to characters per line, but still scrolls the input at
a 25 line screen size. So if I type a longer message it ends up not scrolling the screen properly. Is there a setting I have messed up, or is this an
issue in general with Mystic?

I havent looked into other than "80x24 screen formats" yet but I changed some settings in the .ini file. So my question is:

Did you change the [Coords] in the "msg_editor.ini" file (coord1 & 2) ?

The editor uses a different .ini file for each screen size. so msg_editor.c132x36.ini . Like mentioned, that loads and displays fine. It is the "background" ansi file that does not display at all and should be msg_editor.c132x36.ans Both of these stock files I did not modify before testing the larger screen size.

Also, if you were referring to the scrolling while adding lines of text, I was talking about the normal NON fullscreen editor. That doesn't use an .ini file for any configuring. Both the fullscreen editor and normal line editor do not seem to work like they should at 132x36.

Yes, if you want to display pipe codes in an ansi with 137 columns(well with windows operating system anyway) you have to keep them within the 80 x 24 space, if they go outside, wierd things happen. blank spaces get added and locating the cursor in a desired location ends up completely somewhere else. i always assumed it was a bug in the compiling of the win 32 version.

Well, my BBS is running on Linux and I'm working on it via Linux. So I am assuming its more than just Windows causing an issue ? I am having ansi and pipe files display on 137 columns on other menus and such fine. Just my Mystic for some reason does not display the msg_editor.c1... file at all when on that screen size. The editor itself works fine, and displays and positions the text from the msg_editor.c132x36.ini just fine. Like the To, Subject, Insert Mode, etc are all located correctly, just no surrounding ansi file to frame it all up.

Ok, I understand. As I said, I havent looked into this different screen formats yet but remembered I changed coordinates for my own system.

Gtx!

Just curious if anyone else gets the ansi file for the full screen

So, I've narrowed this problem down to Netrunner, and not Mystic (I am assuming). Utilizing Netrunner as my client most often the msg_editor ansi file would not load properly on a 132x36 size, but would sometimes. I then decided to give SyncTERM a trial at the wider screen size and it displays the ansi header frame every time. So something between Netrunner and Mystic is going wrong when loading that ANSI.
