I recently upgraded to 3.21. Since the upgrade, my
../text/menu/logon.asc(ans) files have stopped displaying at login.

I poked around in ../repo/text and didn't see anything that screamed "replacement" for those files.

Have the names changed since 3.20a?

Thanks!

The stock/default logon screens were renamed to random*.msg, but support for text/logon* was not removed - they should still display fine.

Don't think so. I have logon1.asc , logon2.asc , and logon3.asc , and
they display in order as expected.

Mine are in ../text/menu and were displaying before. Should they be in ../text instead? I will try that in the meantime and see what happens.

Thanks!

Hmmmm.... mine are *not* numbered. Maybe that is it. I will do some
testing with that and see if it fixes it. Thanks!

Dumb question... if you have a logon1 and a logon2, does the system display them in that order every time a user connects, or does it randomize them?

Just FYI, I tried this, and also tried something based on what Gamgee posted, and still no dice. It is as if the logon.asc/ans files no longer exist (although I can see them).

text/menu/logon.* does not need to be numbered. See for details: https://wiki.synchro.net/config:text_files

In order. Use text/menu/random* if you want them displayed in random order instead.

How are you logging in? If you use fast-login, for example (placing a '!' at the begging of your login ID), logon screens aren't displayed. See exec/logon.js for more details.

They are displayed in that order every time. I've removed any
'random.*' files.

Not using fast login.

On the "main" system, I am logging in with SSH. I just tried it via telnet
and the logon screen doesn't display.

On the "test" system, I am logging in via telnet with the matrix. It maybe didn't display there before, I cannot remember, but I thought it did.

See exec/logon.js for more details.

Once upon a time, I actually would go in and make some minor mods to some
of the ssjs files as I could follow the logic. Looking over this file here, you might as well be asking me to translate ancient Greek. :)

If I can get mine to ever display again, that is good to know!

Is it possible you just have the logon*.msg file in the wrong directory?

Hey Mike!

You mentioned a matrix. Does this matrix possibly bypass logon.js, or use it's own logon process that doesn't display logon* or random* files?

Regards,
Nick
