Configuring my matrix login, and the default menu setup seems to display some malformed ANSI cursor positioning code instead of the lightbar(s):

%EC[21;12HLog On%BN

Any ideas what might be going wrong? Lightbars and shuttle are "on" in system toggles...

Thanks!

%EC isn't an MCI code any longer ... what are you trying to do with it?

Ah, OK, I was loading up the default shuttle menu and that's what is built-in/default...

what I'd like to do do is to be able to have a matrix
menu with vertical light bars that i can position anywhere on the screen. That's the goal ATM...

Nice ... there are the ANSI position mci codes %XX;YY% (I think off hand, I always have to check <G> .... thats how I do most of my lightbar and positioning stuff here.

... Natural Selection works ... if you let it.

Ah, thanks Exodus, that's exactly what I was looking for.

You ARE using v1.33/DOS correct?

Correct. v1.33 DOS complete new install.

I don't think the Shuttle/Matrix login is working on the default
config... But slowly getting it wired up! Looks like the MCI code for cursor placement is in the format: %XY22;19% -- that helped a lot.

One thing I'm trying to suss out when using Shuttle menu: when a user selects the "Apply" cmdkey (O2), but then selects "no" to abort the application, i can't figure out a way to reload the shuttle menu, all the stacked commands execute BEFORE the Apply Y/N prompt, so the lighbar menu gets pushed up and mis-aligned... Anything I might be missing here?

I downloaded some old-skool RG lightbar mods, to get some ideas, but they all shipped with .MNU files, and new-skool RG looks like it keeps those configs in DAT files now.

Cheers!

Try hitting ALT-S and turn off the sysop bar, and see if it fixes it. Some cmds are screwy and show 1 line off locally, but display fine remotely. Turning off the sysop bar will make it look fine locally. Give it a shot.

That solved a problem for me, the light bar "shifting" after mving the
cursor up/down! Thanks.

I think I understand RG's command stacking better now, expcailly when it comes to lighbar menus.

I just have a small issue now where after a user logs in (I load a seperate login screen and position the inputs via the strings file) the matrix main menu loads again before logging the user in. It's probably falling back somewhere in my menus... Progress!
