  • Bullseye Bulletins

    From WitNik@1:103/705 to All on Friday, August 21, 2020 22:24:39
    Everyone,

    Forgive my ignorance, but I have created a nice ansi graphic bulletin that is displaying perfectly in Bullseye. It renders great, but it exceeds a single screen by several lines and generates an auto-pause. I've tried using @POFF@, but it seems to be ignored. If I use @RESETPAUSE@, it works, but then it alters the line spacing on the row causes alignment issues with my ansi graphic. I've successfully converted the ansi to asc/msg ctrl-a codes, but I'm still having problems with formating and the auto-pausing.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    -WitNik

    Looks like a bug introduced this April. A work-around would be to change this line in exec/bullseye.js, from this:

    load(new Object, "typeasc.js", str, "BullsEye Bulletin #"+b);

    to this:

    load(new Object, "typeasc.js", '-openclose', str, "BullsEye Bulletin #"+b);

    I threw a copy of bullseye.js into /sbbs/mods and the fix worked great!

    Thank you for the great support!

    Okay, good to know. I'll need to work on a real solution.

    Thank you for the great support!

    No problem. Thanks for the bug report!
