Lines 7 - Lines 92 each contain a prompt which is displayed to the caller These should be self explanatory. Whatever you enter in these lines it will be what your callers will see each time the matrix needs to access a particular feature/command which will invoke either a prompt or a message. ANY Valid PCBoard @x Color Code prior to a prompt or message is valid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS FILE SHOULD CONTAIN 92 PROMPTS <LINES> ALL LINE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS MUST EXIST! YOU MAY NOT SKIP OR DELETE ANY PROMPTS OR MESSAGES! IF YOU DO DELETE ANY PROMPTS or MESSAGES then MT-Matrix is not capable of reproducing the correct prompts to a caller. ALL Prompts must remain in the order as provided by default, you may modify the wording or the colors to your liking but you may not switch them around or delete a prompt from this file, doing so will cause mt-matrix to not display it's messages and prompts to the caller. Also keep in mind that some prompts <i.e. lines 25 & 26> are purposevelly indentended a few spaces, this is so when they are displayed to the caller they will match <or look cosmetically right> Please observe these few instances where indentation is required. If some prompts are changed extensively then you should also run the matrix and try out your new configuration just to be sure prompts are lined up. !!! IMPORTANT !!! Prompts or Messages displayed to callers should NOT exceed 79 chars per line! <for cosmetic reasons> if they are longer in lenght then 79 chars then they will overlap onto the next line, and cosmetically they will not look right to callers. KEEP in mind that this 79 char recommended limit per line EXCLUDES any Color Codes! Color codes are translated by MT-Matrix simply as a color therefore they do not occupy extra line spaces when displayed to callers <even though they will take up extra spaces in this config file> ANY VALID PCBoard Color Code may be inserted anywhere within the prompt in order to colorize them. If no color is specified here, then Matrix will default to displaying any prompt or message listed within this configuration file to the caller in Dark White = (@X07) !!! ALSO NOTE !!! It is not recommend that some of these messages to be changed extremely! Reason being is because each prompt or message displayed to a caller has a certain meaning for the particular function the caller happens to be at the time in the matrix. You may change the wording to your liking, but of course the meaning should remain close enough to the defaults provided here. All prompts and messages in this file may be colorized. Simply insert the proper PCBoard Color code before the message or prompt listed in this file. --- HINTS WHEN CHANGING / COLORINZING PROMPTS & MESSAGES --- Always first design the prompt or the message without adding any color codes to them, this way you will be able to tell the exact lenght, so you can be sure they do not overlap the 79 char per line recommended limit. Once you are satisfied with the message or the prompt which is displayed to callers, then add colorization. It is much easier to accomplish clean and good looking prompts and messages if you follow this rule. Also note that many of the messages in this file are actual prompts which the caller will be prompted for options, in these cases DO NOT ADD the ? at the end, MT-Matrix will insert them internally, therefore you DO NOT have to <NOR SHOULD YOU ADD> a Question Mark "?" at the end of any prompt or messages listed within this configuration file. !!! WARNING !!! THIS CONFIGURATION FILE <PROMPTS.CNF> IS REQUIRED FOR THE MATRIX TO WORK! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Detailed Config Option-Descriptions For PROMPTS.CNF file * Line 1: Very first message shown to caller right after connecting to to PCBoard. Note that this message can be ENABLED or DISABLED via the MATRIX.CNF file line 16. In addition if ENABLED then an entry in line 1 of this file MUST EXIST! The message prompt can be whatever you choose though! ie <if you changed this message to something like "Dropping to Dos " then the caller would get a more realistic drop to dos :) Line 2: Throughout the matrix (for several features) the prompt "Enter Your Name" will be displayed to the caller. You may change the way this message prompt is displayed to the caller For example some sysops do not allow Names to be used for sign up purposes if this was the case then this prompt could be modified to "Enter Your Alias" instead. Line 3: The Matrix APPLY Feature {amoung others} will ask the caller for his Name or Alias <depending on how you configure line 2> This prompt just confirms that the NEW caller is using either his real name or his alias. Thus if answering NO to this prompt the Apply Function would abort and display the message in Line 4. Line 4: See Explanations on lines 2 and 3 - This message too is displayed to New Caller when using the Apply Features. Line 5: This is the Line Guide used in both the Post a Public Message and Feedback to Sysop Editor. Line 6: Displayed to caller after using the PAGE or CHAT commands To indicate the sysop is not available to chat <if indeed the sysop did not answer the page/call> FYI: At this point the caller is also prompted if he wish to leave a comment to the sysop instead. Also Note that at this point the caller is blacklisted from the Page functions. As with this version of the matrix the caller can only page the sysop once if the caller tries it a second time he will be instructed that the sysop had already been paged, and if there was no reply then they should leave a comment, and once again prompt the caller if he wish to leave a comment to the sysops instead. Lines 7 Through Lines 92: Each contain a prompt which is displayed to the caller These should be self explanatory. Whatever you enter in these lines it will be what your callers will see each time the matrix needs to access a particular feature/command which will invoke either a prompt or a message.
