• SyncTerm

    From DesotoFireflite@VERT/VALHALLA to All on Tuesday, October 27, 2015 13:15:21
    Just installed OS X El Capitan on my mac book pro, and now SyncTerms colors are all wrong, really wrong. I reinstalled syncterm with the latest version, and that didn't help. The program still functions fine, but the colors are all wrong, it's almost like a negitive. reds for blues, yellows for cyans, and so foruth. Any one else experenced this, and if so, how do I fix it. Thanks in advance.

    I'm running 10.11.1 El Capitan and it seems fine to me. This is an old iMac, though (c. 2008)

    I'm also on El Capitan, and I've had no trouble with SyncTerm. I'm a happy camper since Deuce fixed copy-and-paste.

    Is it possible you somehow turned on "Invert colors" in OS X's accessibility preference pane?

    Mine is a Mac Book Pro, 2010 (Late). Everything else is fine, but SyncTerm is way out of wack. Even when I call other systems, colors are all off. I'm using it, but it's driving me crazy.

    In that case all colors in every program would be off. I did check that however, and it's not checked. I'm using ftelnet now till I get an answer on how to fix it.

    Got it fixed for now, un hid all the hidden files, deleted everything syncterm, and re installed. It seems there is a problem with the SDL Fullscreen mode, and SDL Overlay, but everything else displays normal. So I'm back in business again and the colors are correct.

    Try taking it out of Overlay mode (ie: "normal" SDL).

    That's what I did, and it ok, but I really miss the SDL Overlay, as it was the perfect size for my mac. All other screen types work fine, it's just SDL Overlay that messes with the color. I wish there was a simple fix.

    It could be a driver issue, or some problem with video playback in general on that system (Overlay mode turns the output into a video).

    SyncTERM actually supports a number of overlay formats, and it's likely that a different one would work if it was used, but there's no way to control it that finely-grained... SyncTERM simply chooses the first one the driver says will work.

    There's a couple environment variables you can try setting that fiddle with how overlays work...
    SDL_VIDEO_YUV_DIRECT=1
    SDL_VIDEO_YUV_HWACCEL=0

    Try them separately and together... they may help.

    I understand. From what I'm reading, El Capitan has a lot of issues. I'm finding others also.

    the driver says will work.
    SDL_VIDEO_YUV_DIRECT=1
    SDL_VIDEO_YUV_HWACCEL=0

    OK, I'll give it a shot. If it works, I'll let you know. Thanks Deuce :)

    I have made a big mistake and do not know how to correct it...

    Something was going on with syncterm and I was trying to fix it by looking into it through the setup... played with the fonts and now it doesn't work.

    When I click on the shortcut to access the program I get a terminal windows with jubberish....

    Tried to delete the program and re-install... same thing... piss me off..

    other than format my HDD is there any suggestions??

    Thanx

    Windows? Linux?

    Delete the syncterm dir under your user directory in either OS, it will more than likely be hidden under windows, I cannot remember how they name the user dirs but that should fix it for you.

    even though syncterm is a dinky little terminal program, the author decided to put the config 'windows style'

    so look in users\ACCOUNTNAME\AppData\Roaming\SyncTERM

    get void tools' everything to search for syncterm.ini

    you should have realized this when you deleted the syncterm executable but settings were still being retained. that would mean it's in the windows registry or in your appdata dir

    hey, let's use a hammer to kill a fly, eh? why not just delete or edit the the syncterm config or phone book file... a quick look on my kubuntu system shows font entries for each BBS listed in the phone book file... so find your syncterm.lst and make sure all the font lines look like


    Font =Codepage 437 English


    if that's not the problem, i'm sure someone will be along with the proper fix... but certainly there's no reason to format and reinstall everything just because of one problem in one program...

    Now that I see it again, maybe you're right.. though, Syncterm is a separate thing and isn't really part of Synchronet itself. I guess this is probably a good enough sub-board for it.

    Looks like a SyncTerm question, and I have used ALT-L with both Synchronet and Mystic BBSs. Make sure the BBS's login details are correctly entered in the phonebook entry.

    WOW, My hat is off to the SyncTerm Team. The new version is 1.2b is AWESOME. You even managed to include Rip Graphics Capabilities. This truly does make SyncTerm one of the best. Thanks so much for your hard work.

    I haven't checked for new SyncTerm updates recently.. I'll have to check that out. I'd thought about adding RIP screens to my BBS.

    Yup, that's my next step now. I checked it out on my L.O.R.D. game, and it was nice to see the rip graphics. Now I just have to make the downloads of icons available.... I'm very happy

    Oh wait...

    TeleGraphix went out of business long ago...just like Quarterdeck Software, who did DESQView and QEMM.

    When I ran GT Power on dial-up, I made several RIP graphics menu screens.

    Heh, yeah, that was the "Oh wait..." joke.

    I have much of the Outworld Arts collection of ANSI and RIP graphics in
    the file areas over here. I also have a door with proprietary ANSI files
    from "The Smile Project". Several of them also have ANSI animation and
    music.

    Yeah, I had some when I ran PCBoard

    I used the background template that had the software name (GT Power),
    then used Deadpaint (affectionately known as DEAD) to create the menus.
    I chuckled that in the documentation where the authors noted "Dead is a trademark of the undertaker, and Doctor Jack Kev... never mind". <G>

    Unfortunately, I don't think you can register it anymore. I have it
    over on the BBS computer, but rarely do RIP screens anymore.

    Remember, July is National Baked Bean Month <FRAP!> -- but you can
    get your sponsor sheets all year long <FRAP!>. <G> And, I also have
    a door called "Toilet Stall Grafitti Wall"...affectionately known as
    "2000 flushes in ANSI" -- or "ANSI Rooter, that's the name. Just flush
    your graphics down the drain". <G>

    There's very few things you can register any more from back then.

    I doubt it'd work under Windows 10, and especially at the screen
    resolutions I have it at. Plus, I didn't do much with the program,
    except for creating menus.

    I was lucky to register most of the doors on the BBS before they
    became abandonware.

    As a side note, The PCL Net (packet) won't meet this Monday, Sept. 27.
    The computer that NS2B had for it went "tango uniform" last week. He has ordered a new computer, but it won't be in until the middle or latter
    part of next week. I'm alternate Net Control and Scribe for that net.

    I'm also working on getting a new shorter domain up for my personal
    homepage. The content won't change...just the URL. A fellow ham radio
    operator has offered hosting capabilities, which will save me quite a
    bit of money...and with medical issues, I can use all I can get right
    now.

    I saw rumblings of a 1.2 somewhere. Wanted to give it a run to see if it
    fixed a login issue I'm experiencing. Nothing at all critical. Otherwise 1.1
    is working fine.
