Mystic NODE option. It appears the -Nx command line is broken in Myst
mystic -n1 -newuser handle=%line6% name=%line5% pass=password level=10
is what I am using to load MRC, and I'd like to pass -n2 to just load, say mpl of BLACKJACK .... well, mystic ALWAYS selects node 1 no matter what I p on the command line.
Does anyone know what is wrong? I think I'm using a48. What a better opt would be to pass a FLAG toggle on/off, so I could make access to the 2 door as a FLAG (A and B respectively), so if they chose to run 1.bat it would lo MRC with a flag of A, and not run blackjack as it would be set as FLAG B .. and then have it exit out.

No help from anyone on this?
There is definitely a variable to put for the node number that will output whichever node the user is logged in on. Something like %N or %# or I don't remember what it is exactly for Mystic, but there is one of those.
Not sure why you're forcing things to specific nodes, or are you doing that purpose?
I don't really remember ever using '-Nx' unless logging in locally.
I don't want mystic to load at all, I want it to load right into the mpl.
Just as well, this is the first I've ever heard of something attempting thi so maybe the lack of replies is more because nobody has a flippin' clue wha the answer is. :)
That's kind of what I figured, which then is probably above my pay grade wh it comes to Mystic and MPL. I didn't dabble much with MPL, I basically trie to do everything and anything with the menu editor.
I am using Mystic to rlogin from my BBS. Since I cannot load an mpl
from the command line, I was going to set access for each door as a seperate node # since I normally don't have 2 people on at the same time that would be using MRC. But I don't see anything other than being
able to pass the username/password via the command line.

mystic -uJoe_User -pMYPASSWORD "-xmyscript option1 option2"
there's probably something that'll work if -N won't. !E can check for a semaphore file so maybe you put a file in the node directory with what door run and then use !E and then check for an OK ACS flag right after.
i'll try and make a legitimate step-by-step if you can't figure it out but really don't wanna ;) (and it's good to know how it works..)

or if that doesn't work try using -C$ to force the user's country and then an access flag to the doors in a big list with a different country for each door? lol
How do I tell each command to look for a different text file? If RG I would just put this as a group of commands linked and use option 6 to tell it what to look for. I don't see anything like that in mystic.
I don't see any ref. to this command in the mystic.txt file in the docs directory either. So any info on that would be great.

probably something like.. in the action list for FIRSTCMD:
!E for the first action with "data" as c:\blah\dothis.sem
then the next line DD access flag "OK" and the door as usual
the access flag OK just means "previous command worked" or whatever..
then !E for the next command and data c:\blah\dothisinstead.sem
and next line DD access flag "OK" for the second option
So I figured since I couldn't add/remove a flag per menu command each
time a user rlogin'ed I would just load nodes (I would only need 10
for all the mpl doors I wanted to run) and chances of 2 getting on at
the same time is 0.00001%. Well, that doesn't work either since MIS
picks a node for you and ignores what you have set in the batch file
(which is nuts).
y-modem-g. Chances of having all 4 nodes without someone logging on
via ftelnet 0.000001% also. <G> So this works. But Net2BBS will
still read my RENEGADE -Nx (x=node#) and load that node. Which is
what I don't understand why Mystic is so stupid about it. :(
HA! I got it .... thanks!
