Import FILEBONE.NA into file bases
The '[Import_FILEBONE.NA]' stanza tasks MUTIL with running a function that will bulk auto create a number of file bases in Mystic for you.
MUTIL looks to a specially formatted text file that you specify. It's formatted with area tag and a description of the file base. Mystic then will create the files bases contained in this file en-mass and quickly!
Here's an example of a .NA file that comes from fsxNet
% File Echo Description % Area FSX_NODE 0 ! FSX: Current Nodelist Area FSX_INFO 0 ! FSX: Current Infopack Area FSX_MYST 0 ! FSX: Mystic BBS Software, Utils etc. Area FSX_MGKA 0 ! FSX: Magicka BBS Software, Utils etc. % % End of FSXNet Fileecho List
To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:
[general] Import_FILEBONE.NA = true
There a several switches you can configure that relate to this function.
The filename to read when running the import process.
; filename to import filename = fsx_file.na
Should Mystic convert area tags to lowercase?
; convert tags to lower case for message base filename 1=yes lowercase_filename = 1
Define the root directory to create file paths under.
When a new filebone echo is found, mUtil will create a file using “root_dir” + areatag. So for example if root is “c:\mystic\filebase\” and the areatag is MYSTICBBS it will create “c:\mystic\filebase\MYSTICBBS”. This root directory MUST exist.
root_dir = c:\mystic\files\
The following options define the “default” values used when creating any file bases.
dispfile = template = ansiflst ; ACS to see the message base acs_list = acs_ftp = acs_download = acs_upload = acs_hatch = acs_sysop = s255 ; true/false type values 0=false 1=true (newscan 2=forced) free_files = 0 show_uploader = 1 new_scan = 1
