  • New Message Pointers

    From Underminer@VERT/UNDRMINE to All on Monday, April 06, 2015 13:28:17
    Greetings all, hoping someone can help me on this.
    I wrote a quick baja script to run at logon for new users that would give them the option to update their new message pointers. The issue is that after it loads msg_ptrs_cfg, no areas show, and hence it doesn't update anything. If I run it as a door, all areas show up and it works wonderfully. Is there something I need to initialize, or a set of definitions that need to be included to actually show a list of areas?

    Thanks a bunch.

    My guess is that you have your script running too soon during the logon process, before the user is actually "Logged-in" to the system. How are you configuring this script to execute exactly?
