I've been running the same version on Win 11 and haven't had any issues with the events.

Interesting. I am on Linux. The events seem to change. I will have an event set as interval and min 45. I save and edit. When I enter back in, it’s changed back to its previous value.

I have seen that happen too, make changes and they don't stick.

I would take the BBS offline and edit the changes you need and then restart the BBS. I think that'll work better for you.

This has happened on a few rare occassions for me, too, but not specific to A49 -- it has happened in older versions as well. Haven't been able to pinpoint why, though...

Yes. I realized that needed to be done.

It seems semaphore events doesn’t work right.

I have a semaphore event with :

echomail.in|netmail.in

And it just sits there and never runs, even though that some phone file does exist in semaphore/

It’s crazy. It’s my import echomail script.

Just a crazy thought here. Are you restarting the bbs after making the event >changes?

I reverted back to A48 because g00r00 isn't around right now and doesn't seem to be devving actively.

This is normal - g00 is awesome and continues to give us a great bbS platform 20+ years in; but I'm not beta'ing A49 until its being devved a lot more actively.

I normally doso, but I had issues too...

I always make a backup before updating so I'm sure I can revert back if needed. I don't know exactly what changed I have not tested A49 yet but you could probably check the changes and in that way know what you can revert and what not.

Off topic - I see your using golded in mystic!?? Maybe? How do I change the intro setting for golded? And set a script to run (maybe to a create a semaphore in mystic) for exporting and sending the message?

Yea he goes through cycles where he devs a lot, fixes a lot and makes a lot of great progress, then disappears completely for as long as 8-12 months.

I’m sure he is a busy man, so I don’t fault him. I do they same with projects. I just wish I could get my software working right. I found work around a. If I can downgrade to a48 - I probably would.

I would imagine you can probably just backup your current BBS, install A48 in a temporary directory, copy over the executables, and run 'mplc -all'.

However, you may want to take a look at whatsnew.txt between A48 and the latest alpha to make sure data structures haven't been changed during that time. If so, you may want to try to install A48, and then just try to copy over your 'menu' and 'text' directories, along with your theme(s) directories.. Then, if you make a backup, you can try to copy over things like your user list, oneliners.dat, and any other things you might want to keep and if anything breaks or acts funny, you can revert to the previous copy.

With all that said, I don't think I've ever had issues with A49 and events. So if you'd like to try to tackle actually fixing it rather than trying to downgrade, I can try to help you out with that. Could be something as simple as how you're running Mystic and if you're passing off to a user successfully after starting, which then brings permissions into play. You can chown your entire Mystic directory all day but if you're starting MIS as root and not passing it off to said user, there's going to be issues.

Regards,
Nick

I was having this issue not with A49 but A48 for a bit, it turned out that it was my modem was losing connection.. I called my cable company and they tried some tests then as usual said you are not using our router put that in and it will be fixed. I told them I wanted a new modem got it and the issues stopped..

I have had semaphore issues lately with A48, login no new messages but in the inbound directory there is 50 files not processed. Logoff shutdown run mis poll killbusy and all the semaphores are killed, go bck in kill poll.bsy and run mutil mailin and it cleans it up for a few days.. Not sure what is causing these issues..

On another note, has anyone come across network nodes disappearing? I got a message from one of my Network HUB administrators saying he hasn't been able to connect to me in over a week. I go in check to see what is up and find his HUB is no longer listed, then I see other connections are gone also. I rebuild them, they stay fine for a few months then again Hubs disappear..

Yeah they always hope that if you just reboot it while on the line, they get a fast ticket closure. Then they realize you don't own there equipment and refuse to help. I'm like, but here are the log files showing it you on YOUR end, not mine. Now I have fiber and don't have to fight them as much and save myself around $300USD each month on top of it .. LOL

Yea, they can be a royal pain sometimes, I had an issue years back where I used to live. Between the hours of 7pm and 12am I would get on average 30mbs download I had 100meg service, I called they tested said everything was fine but did I have any TV's on the line, I said yes, so the answer was the splitter is bad. I run down to Radio Shack buy the best splitter they have, put it in and no change. I call back, they tell me they are showing a bad splitter still (huh? You can tell from reading ohms) so my answer was I replaced it, they ask where did I get it? I told them, ah that's why, you didn't use one of ours, that is why you need to use one of ours. I go to the only repair facility open that night 45 minutes away, ask for a splitter the girl hands it to me and I ask will this solve my problem and her answer is where did you get that info from? I said your company.. She says you need a new modem, so I said ok give me one, oh I didn't have my old one with me to turn in.. It keeps going on for weeks, until I call and threaten that I want someone out to find out why. They send a crew manager to my house he replaces the modem with a super duper 4 line modem, says this is a beta test modem it will solve all your problems. He runs a speed test 30meg down 10meg up.. I said to him It's because there is not enough bandwidth isn't it?? He looks at me and says yes that is the reason but I am not supposed to say that, I am supposed to string you along till we get more bandwidth in this area. My answer to him was well I guess I will have to get DSL, he said don't do that, here is my personal cell number give me 3 weeks and let me know if you see a difference. Well 3 weeks to the day, suddenly between those hours I am getting full speed. I called him up to tell him and he said yes, we just added more bandwidth to your area.. What a joke, and what a long run on sentence.. Now I can't post anywhere else!@!

I tried that and kept getting errors about the data file versions not matched. I ran the upgrade.exe as well. :/

So if I remember correctly that's two reports of folks on A49 for Windows complaining of these issues. I'd be curious to see if there are linux sysops dealing with the same...guess I should feel fortunate *shrug*

Nevertheless that sucks. Hopefully g00r00 makes his reappearance before long!
