Rick Smith around Sunday, December 18th...

Does not appear to be crashing now. I have noticed that listing message areas (at least on netrunner) the descriptions go off screen and wrap. But Its getting there. Adding networks and areas adds a lot to config.hjson is it possible to have the areas in a separate file that gets read by config?

You can fix both:
* For the areas going off screen, you can adjust your _theme_. Do this by modifying or creating your own ANSI art files, MCI placement, and specifics that align in the theme's 'theme.hjson' file.
See https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/blob/master/docs/_docs/art/themes.md

* You can use include statements in your config to break it up as much or as little as you like. See the following doc:
https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/blob/master/docs/_docs/configuration/config-files.md

I may be making some progress?

now:

./oputil.js mb import-areas ../src/fsxnet.na

only gets a one-line error

I'm not sure the steps you did prior to this, but feels like something is odd with the setup. Are your permissions correct, e.g. in the 'db' dir?

They should look something like this, replacing 'enigma' with the user your BBS runs as:
engima-bbs> ls -l ./db/ total 576900
-rw-r--r--. 1 enigma enigma 174022656 Dec 15 20:17 file.sqlite3
-rw-r--r--. 1 enigma enigma 410257408 Dec 16 10:46 message.sqlite3
drwxr-xr-x. 2 enigma enigma 4096 Dec 15 12:00 mods/
-rw-r--r--. 1 enigma enigma 3791872 Dec 16 10:42 system.sqlite3
-rw-r--r--. 1 enigma enigma 2642944 Dec 16 10:42 user.sqlite3

You can of course also manaully enter areas, but again it feels like soemthing is off here.

I actually got fsxnet to add it works. However now cannot add a second network, but its probably that I do not understand how exactly it works. On you git instructions I tried following that add additional networks. It just errors out and when I try to use oputil to add fidonet it comes with that first prompt where it says use arrow keys to select network or something, but its blank and if I use and arrow key I get an error on screen (which I know isnt helpful to you at all) Ill see if I can paste it here.

{
messageNetworks: {
ftn: {
networks: {
// it is recommended to use lowercase network tags
fsxnet: {
defaultZone: 21
localAddress: "21:1/121"
}

araknet: {
defaultZone: 10
localAddress: "10:101/9"
}
}
}
}
}

your example in your docs, however after adding fsxnet mine looks like this.. Also I should note that my config.hjson did not include a "messageNetwork" section I had to add it, is that normal?

messageNetworks: {
ftn: {
networks: {
fsxnet: {
defaultZone: 21
localAddress: 21:1/190
areas: {
fsx_tst: {
network: fsxnet
tag: FSX_TST
uplinks: 21:1/100
}
fsx_gen: {
network: fsxnet
tag: FSX_GEN
uplinks: 21:1/100
}
fsx_mys: {
network: fsxnet
tag: FSX_MYS
uplinks: 21:1/100

Thats not the whole thing just a sample of it. so it shows areas there as well as the messageconference area it looks slightly different but they are listed in both places. SO would I add fidonet at the end of this list of areas?

I know I will eventually get it, and I much prefer the config files once I get to know them.

Thank you in advance for any help and I hope when I send this message all the cut and paste doesnt go wonky so you cant read it.

It looks like you have a nesting/mismatch in your config:
messageNetworks: {
ftn: {
networks: {
fsxnet: {
defaultZone: 21
localAddress: 21:1/190
} <-- I put this here; terminates 'fsxnet'
} <-- I put this here; terminnates 'networks'

areas: { <-- this belongs at the same level as 'networks'
fsx_tst: {
network: fsxnet
tag: FSX_TST
uplinks: 21:1/100

Make sure you have your nesting correct. If you don't have one already, get a editor with HJSON support. VSCode has a nice plugin. Many others support it as well.

We can get your config working then worry about why the import tool isn't working later -- it's possible I broke it :D

RE: values not present by default. Yep, some things you just have to add if you utilize them.

We'll get this going! :D

Ok I got vscode (much easier to see) and I got the three networks listed on bbs...

areas: { <-- this belongs at the same level as 'networks'

Not sure I understand what you mean here? Is areas in the wrong spot?

While typing this I just noticed enigma crashed while I was logged in with netrunner at the change conference screen and local fsxnet and fidonet were there listed.

/home/rick/enigma-bbs/core/scanner_tossers/ftn_bso.js:2445

Here is the code I am currently using.

messageNetworks: {
ftn: {
networks: {
fsxnet: {
defaultZone: 21
localAddress: 21:1/190
}

fidonet: {
defaultZone: 1
localAddress: 1:105/10
}
}
}
}

messageConferences: {

fsxnet: {
name: fsxNet
desc: fsxNet
sort: 2
default: true
areas: {
fsx_tst: {
name: fsxNet Test Arena
desc: fsxNet Test Arena

this is abbreviated because of the amount of areas

}
}

}

fidonet: {
name: fidoNet
desc: fidoNet
sort: 3
default: true
areas: {
}
}




}
