Hi Nightfox,
Today I finally upgraded my system to the latest SBBS using Git... Things went very well, but I do have one issue I can't figure out.
I'm using your DDMsg and DDFile Area Choosers, I have them in /sbbs/mods (both the .js and the .cfg). I've edited my 'default.src' and compiled it into 'default.bin', also in /sbbs/mods. It all works except for this:
For my 'J' command key definition, I've defined it as:
exec "?DDMsgAreaChooser.js" as per the instructions. It works fine.
Also defined the '/*' key the exact same way and it works.
For my '*' key, I don't want the user to see the list of message groups first, just the areas in the current group, so I have defined that one as:
exec "?DDMsgAreaChooser.js false" , again as per the instructions. But it doesn't work - when the '*' is pressed it just flickers and does nothing.
All of this holds true for the equivalent commands for "DDFileAreaChooser" as well. Exact same behavior. Basically it doesn't seem to like the command line parameter "false". For grins, I tried using "true" there, and it worked. I know that isn't needed but it was for testing.
This used to work before my upgrade. I am using slightly newer versions of your stuff, the ones that came in with the Git clone into /sbbs/xtrn/DDAreaChoosers.
Any ideas? Anybody else seeing this? Thanks for any help you can provide.
