  • Synchronet Menu question

    In Mystic, Legacy/X (Our dev BBS) we can modify menu files to display the ansi location sequence and build the menu right from the menu file directly.

    I would like to state a header file and have the menu dynamically drawn.

    I know in Mystic, I can set the X/Y position like this:

    |[X02|[Y13|08:|15|21B|16ulletins

    Can this be done in Synchronet or do I HAVE to have ansi menus?

    Thank you,

    Jason

    I *think* you're looking for the GOTOXY @-code: http://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes#terminal_information_control

    Let me know if you're looking for something different.

    Thank you,


    synchronet wont crap out a menu if there is no .ans or .asc file if that's what your asking.

    you can however have a header file and just do something simple to be displayed down below.
