Trying to make a new command shell and I also want to make a new newuser module so I can print the new user registration questions (alias, gender, etc) as a nicely-formatted table.

I was thinking this would be the newuser_signup.js file but there's a notice at the top which says that the file is not normally called/used by anything.

newuser.js is described as: "End of new terminal user registration/creation process", but of course I'm trying to modify the new user registration process itself.

Thanks,
Nick

Just found newuser_signup.cpp. Is this the right one? Was hoping it'd be in JS because I don't know C++ :D

Can you not follow the advice in the file?

* This script is not normally called/used by anything, so making changes
* to this script is unlikely to achieve what you're wanting. Instead,
* consider making changes to SCFG->System->New User Prompts, New User
* Values, or the new user question strings in your ctrl/text.dat file.


Are you wanting more than can be collected? You might be better off using a survey door or something, I'm sure there's one out there.

Someone needs to go in and put a "due date" on it :)
