    Hey g00r00 whats the chance of adding a bot check section in mystic. I
    know there are add ons to do it and I had one til I upgraded to 47 now
    it doesnt work. I reinstalled it but when I run mplc botcheck1_2.mps
    it says its not in the script directory. which it is it was working
    fine til I upgraded so I have no idea why it wont work. Should be a
    fairly easy add on I would think just make it so it could be turned
    off if others dont want to use it. But i'm not the expert maybe it
    cant be added I'm just asking!
    Thanks Sam

    Hey g00r00 whats the chance of adding a bot check section in mystic. I
    Another thing to note is this thing from the upgrade instructions:

    - If you disabled fallback in any of your themes then you must go into the
    theme editor and reset the values for fallback as these have been split
    into specific fallback settings for each category (menu, prompts, etc)
    I will check into that, I just thought this would be nice to have
    built into Mystic

    Hey g00r00 whats the chance of adding a bot check section in mystic. I
    I am not really sure what the botcheck script you mention actually does in order to implement it into Mystic. Can you explain more about it?
    what is does if a bot telnets in or whatever you use to login to a bbs
    it say hit esc twice to go to login if they dont hit esc twice with in
    30 sec it doesnt let them procced into the bbs for login in.
    When you run mplc -T what happens? Does it compile your script? Where is your script and mplc located? mplc should be in your root Mystic directory. If you only run mplc <scriptname> it is going to look in the root Mystic directory for the script.
    the program is called pn-bck12.zip phenom production.. I think it
    could be added pretty easily into mystic
    I'm pretty sure you have seen it it When you run the script I get
    Compiling: botcheck1_2mps.mps
    ERRORS:
    Error in botcheck1_2mps.mps (Line 1, Col 0): File not found:
    botcheck1_2mps
    ps
    Results: 1 files, 1 errors, 1 directories, 0.00 seconds

    Im running it from the root my script is in the themes\default\scripts
    I hope I'm explaining it right!

    Can't you do this in an MPL script during the prelogin sequence? I have this kind of check implemented via wcBASIC on my WINS system BEFORE the caller gets asked for his user name,
    Way above my head, It was working in 47B before I upgraded to 47A,
    with the instruction that came with package..
