So now a foolish question, most of the mods I've downloaded mention the scripts directory. As I don't see such a directory in Mystic, do I simplymake a /mystic/scripts directory?
As a secondary question, I understand that MPL is based on Pascal. Is it 100%compatible? One of the things that I'd like to do on my system I've foundsome Pascal code that seems to handle the most complicated part of theproject so is it simply a matter of plugging it into mplc or mide and go?
The only foolish question, is asking me *IF* I want coffee in the
morning. ;)
Within your /mystic directory, you should have a subdirectory called themes. Within there, you will see more subdirectories for each theme running on your board. If you don't have any others, you will see 'default'. Within that directory, there is a 'text' and a 'scripts' directory.
So, long story short, (too late) on a default install, take a look at /mystic/themes/default/scripts

a look at that. With a bit of editing, you should be able to get your Pascal code to work
Thanks, that helps. I keep going through the docs and Mystic's Wiki wondering what I'm missing.
So, I'm working on modifications for my BBS. And while I'm figuring out the technical aspects of things that I would like to do, I figured that I'll try to install some existing mods to get a better idea of how they work.

I do have a file here for download called mpl_112a36.zip that gives a pretty good rundown of the functions/procedures available within Mystic.
I am in the process of updating it, but it's taking me awhile... Too
many other
projects going on right now. :)
I see my friend Black Panther has already replied to this message; you
can trust him, as he is teaching me (and others) a lot about modifying Mystic. :P The MPL language is powerful, as is other ways to modify Mystic. (MPY/MS/Python)...
His words are correct, and do know that you can come to 2o fOr beeRS anytime and I'll help you with anything you're trying to do. I'm even writing some mods, and pushing Mystic with graphics and more...
Just reach out to this community, man... thats what we're here for. I
was you -
theres two types here.. those who want require you to be a BBS-scene-master and
those who are willing to help in any ways we can. I'm one of the latter.
