After performing an update/rebuild the other day now some of my colors in some of the display screens are messed up. What caused this?

https://imgur.com/a/BlNPfZj

For the record, this is how I updated. I believe so at least. I did it one step at a time and after it seemed to work I made a script to use next time.

cd /home/bbs/sbbs
sudo systemctl stop sbbs
rm exec.tgz
rm text.tgz
tar -czf exec.tgz exec
tar -czf text.tgz text
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs
cvs update -d src 3rdp
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/src/sbbs3; make RELEASE=1 symlinks
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/src/sbbs3/scfg; make RELEASE=1 symlinks
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/exec; cvs update -d
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/ctrl; wget http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/ctrl/text.dat
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/text; cvs update -d
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/exec; ./jsexec update
cd /home/bbs/sbbs
sudo systemctl start sbbs

Thanks

Thanks for the detailed bug report. It should be fixed now in CVS.

cd /home/bbs/sbbs
sudo systemctl stop sbbs
rm exec.tgz
rm text.tgz
tar -czf exec.tgz exec
tar -czf text.tgz text
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs
cvs update -d src 3rdp
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/src/sbbs3; make RELEASE=1 symlinks
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/src/sbbs3/scfg; make RELEASE=1 symlinks

that line ^^^ shouldn't be necessary, but doesn't hurt either.

cd /home/bbs/sbbs/exec; cvs update -d
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/ctrl; wget http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/ctrl/text.dat
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/text; cvs update -d
cd /home/bbs/sbbs/exec; ./jsexec update
cd /home/bbs/sbbs
sudo systemctl start sbbs

Looks fine.

On 2019 Aug 14 19:17:50, you wrote to All:

cd /home/bbs/sbbs
sudo systemctl stop sbbs
rm exec.tgz
rm text.tgz
tar -czf exec.tgz exec
tar -czf text.tgz text

i use the following and then maybe delete older files later...

EXECDATE=$(date --date="@$SDATE1" '+%Y%m%d%H%M')
tar -czf ctrl_$EXECDATE.tgz ctrl
tar -czf exec_$EXECDATE.tgz exec

here's a paste of the script i use... it is pretty comprehensive and allows for
easy adjustment... there's really only one line that needs to be set... then to
choose from one of the four available BUILDOPTS lines depending on if you want a release or debug build and if you want dosemu or not... other options can be added in the BUILDOPTS line if needed... BUILDOPTS is used on all compile lines
so everything is built the same way each time...

Wow I figured I messed things up somehow, not stumbled upon a bug. I'll update again and let you know how it goes. Thanks

Do you mean when you're reading messages, or when you're writing a message?

If writing a message, it depends on your message editor. fseditor and SlyEdit allow changing the color of your text with the Ctrl-K hotkey.

If you're reading using your own BBS, and if you're using DDMsgReader, the msgBodyColor setting in the theme configuration file for DDMsgReader sets the default message color used when reading messages.

It looks like you were (probably) typing pipe codes in your message to get the colors.. It looks like you were using SlyEdit to edit your message - SlyEdit allows you to change your text color using Ctrl-K, so you shouldn't have to manually type pipe codes to get colors in your message.

What about the regular FSEditor? (checking..) I can change color but not to the bright ones. Go fig.

Yes, in fseditor (using it here), high intensity is an option: Ctrl-A H

I just checked with FSEditor and it looks like it does indeed allow use of bright colors..? You do so by enabling the high intensity attribute, and then one of the colors.

It was added in version 1.80.. In your SlyEdit.cfg, what do you have allowColorSelection set to?
