So one part of Synchronet that I'm figuring out...
I was never a Sync guy, back in the day anyway.. my BBS was always a little
smaller and close knit than the multi-node TBBS or *sync* boards. At any rate,
the sync default command shell was never my favorite. I liked WWIV or Renegade;
with RG by far being *my* BBS menu structure of choice.
So, I was fumbling a bit with editing synchro menus... its not like standard
BBS softwares that I'm used to (Telegard, Renegade, Obv/2, even Mystic..). But
I'm now seeing just how powerful Synchronet is.
I've learned that I can take the Renegade clone command shell, and use that as
my main shell for my BBS. I have some questions about doing so. So lets say
that I want my BBS to look one way, and not use multiple command shells. I
think that its most smart for me, since I like the Renegade way of menu
structure, to use the Renegade clone command shell. OK, I've been doing that...
and adding ANSI menus to text/menu/renegade ... ok, check on the four menus
that Renegade command shell calls for.
But, I notice that say... for the other menus I can't just add a qwk.ans to
text/menu/renegade ... but I could add it in text/menu. Long story short, if I
only want to use one shell, do I erase the others? Do I change Renegade to
default and not use /renegade? Do I use /renegade for the four menus it calls
for and then just edit like qwk.ans in the regular text/menu directoy?
I want to ultimately edit the renegade clone to add some things that are unique
to my board... but first I want to get deep into all the different menus and
edit ansi's to all match.
I guess I'm just asking whats the best way to add those deeper menus, that the
Renegade command shell currently falls back on the default synchronet menus
for?
Gosh I hope I'm making a little sense. I sometimes feel that my mind is jumbled
when discussing sync... but I'm trying.
:P
