HI Folks;

Just getting back into BBS, after what seems forever. I used to run all the usual suspects PCBoard, TBBS, RBBS, Renegade. I started up using Mystic, which is not a bad program, however it is closed source, which I am not in favour of. I found Synchronet last week, and I haven't been able to stop playing. Kudos to all, absolutely awesome program, head and shoulders above everything else!

Now dumb question time, where the heck does the Sysop menu originate from. I have already change up the Renegade menu to Mystic, and added everything but the kitchen sink into it, but I'd like to add a few things to it. I look forward to try and help the software. I have never used jscript, I always found it a bit cryptic, ahem, fon't talk to me about C lol.

Regards,
John

exec/str_cmds.js is the source for all the string command (including sysop-only commands). Let me know if that wasn't the answer you were seeking.

Thank you, no that was exactly the answer i was looking for. For now, maybe I will just create a srcond Sysop menu instead of messing the JS code, until I am up to snuff.

Thanks!

Great thank you for the pointers! Looks like I will
have to learn some Js. Baja is great but only does
so much. Without arrays or loops it's a bit
challenging. I was wondering how I could help. Maybe
I could work on the documentation, as it's very
dated and I know people hate to do it, lol.

Thanks
John

Just copy whatever you're working on from exec or exec/load into mods,
which will load locally, and worst case, you can remove the offending
file in mods... pretty much never edit anything under exec directly.

Thanks Tracker, I am just cleaning things up. So many files for a new Synchro user to get familiar with, but I think I got the hang of it now. Thanks for the tip!
