[About The Guide]
232) The Email reading system has been totally rewritten for speed. The
initial scan is still a tad sluggish, but while reading, going to,
viewing users, etc - it is 100 times faster.
233) SysOps can now "upload" local text files into messages using the
full screen editor.
234) File and Message base scan selection process has been revamped.
It's much neater, easier to use, and has a "toggle all" feature.
235) When using multinode support, system logs are now written to
temporary files and the MAIN sysop.log is updated when Renegade
is terminated. This way there are no confusing log entries.
236) Multinode MCI commands:
@0 - Displays node number (messages)
@E - " " " System & Doors
237) New ACS function: Nx where x is a node number.
Example: "N1" returns true if the user is logged onto node 1.
238) New cmdkeys: "NO" - Multinode only. Lists all the users currently
logged on the system and what they are doing such as:
o Transferring a file o Out in a door
o Reading messages o Writing a message
o Reading Email o In offline mail system
It also lists whether they are available for multi node chat or not.
239) File system total rewrite! The file listings are TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
I think EVERYBODY will like this one. BROWSE is GONE as well as
different file listing types. They're obsolete. You can now download,
flag for batch dl, and view files while listing them! FI and FB
command keys are GONE - remove them from your menus!
240) FB is no longer BROWSE, it's ADD BATCH. It works just like the
download command, only it adds it straight to your batch list.
241) The Chat Reason string has been replaced by a "batch download add"
string for use when using the new FB cmdkeys or the Flag file
in the file listings. Chat reason was actually redundant since
you can specify another string in the menu command.
242) When downloading, you can leave off the extension now and Renegade
will search for FILENAME.*.
241) Message packing won't barf on even extremely corrupted bases.
242) When the conference system is disabled, a user will no longer
have access to things requiring access to a conference they
didn't have access to.
243) The offline mail system will now allow a user to collect and upload
mail from all bases they have access to, regardless of the conference
system settings.
244) Bidirectional protocol support has been added. Simply turn the
appropriate flag on for any bidirectional protocol. The user should
use DOWNLOAD (batch or single), pick the bidirectional protocol,
then start the transfer. At the end of the transfer, Renegade will
scan for newly uploaded files. It's not pretty yet, but it seems
to work.
245) More multinode commands:
NA - Toggles whether user is available for chat/paging or not.
NP - Page a user on another node for a chat.
NG - Join Group Chat.
246) If wildcards are specified in a download file name, it no longer
searches ALL file areas. (opinions wanted on this one)
247) You can now (R)estart in the full screen editor, which will totally
clear your message and start over.
248) The Time Bank now has a limit on daily withdrawls specified in
the "options" part of the menu definition. The options for the
cmdkeys are now:
Cmdkeys: O$
What it does: Time Bank
Options: [<max time add>] [;<max bank account>] [;<max withdrawn in a day>]
All parameters are still optional.
249) New cmdkeys OD... options is a number, positive or negative, to
change the user's file points by. OD -5 would decrease them
by 5... OD 10 would add 10.
250) Option X under System Flagged Functions now allows time limits to
be daily or per call. If set to per call, the user can have their
full time allotment each time they call per day. If OFF, it will
work normally and they will be limited to x amount of minutes per
day.
251) A new file system option has been added. It is now configurable
whether Renegade will test the integrity of and/or convert archives
on uploading. The option is under File System Configuration.
252) Multiple modem configurations make MULTINODE a reality! 04-14-92!
The -C command line parameter NO LONGER EXISTS. When you boot up
with a specified node, it loads the modem AND node configuration
up from a file NODEx.DAT in your DATA directory. You can now use
Renegade with multiple remote lines! You must load up each node
and configure it's modem separately. WITH THIS VERSION, YOUR
MODEM CONFIGURATION WILL BE LOST REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU USE
MULTINODE OR NOT!
Also added is a "Node ACS" in the Modem/Node configuration section.
This specifies the required ACS for the user to logon to that node.
Other things will be moved to the Node configuration section as time
progresses.
253) The "OA" (auto-validation) command keys now work.
254) Problems in the file area listing have been corrected.
255) When addressing messages, TO: is now before SUBJECT:
256) Chat reason prompt is now definable again on page three of
the string configuration.
257) Gone is the now infamous version numbering system. Betas
from now on will be listed by DATE.
258) Hate remembering all those stupid command keys?? So do I!
Fret no more; Next time you're editing a menu, hit ? and
return when prompted for the command keys, and lo-and-behold
MENUCMD.MSG will pop up with a complete listing of all the
available menu commands! Be sure you've got this file!
259) The New User Information Change screen has been completely redone
(finally), and now allows the user to change editor, screen pausing,
screen clearing, and hotkeys.
260) QWK packets can now be added to batch dl queues.
261) Added a "points rewarding" system for the file section. When
toggled on, it will reward the uploader with file points whenever
someone downloads a file he uploaded. Now, somebody tell me if it
works!
262) Default menu options! Make the menu keys "ENTER" (no quotes!)
and the user can hit ENTER to select that menu command.
263) Option J under System Variables now specifies the number of days
after which a user is forced to change their password. Setting
it to 0 disables the function. Example: If you set it to 365,
it would force every user to change their password every 365
days.
264) More output routine revamping brings the new MCI system! Read
MCI.DOC in the Renegade distribution packages for more details!
265) You can now define a two line quote header in the strings config.
The following MCI codes work in these two strings:
@D - Date of the message
@F - Who it was from
@T - Who it was to
@S - The subject of the message
@B - Name of message base (added later)
