Hi, all,

I have a file that BullsEye bulletins refuses to display. I was wondering if
its location, in the /sbbs/xtrn directory (instead of in a subdirectory) might
be the issue. It's just a Tradewars high sore file (.ANS), but I am at my wits'
end with it. BullsEye just goes right back to its menu when that option is
selected.

Thanks

It turns out not to be path-related. A text file in the same directory works
fine. There just seems to be something about that .ans file that it doesn't
like, althoughwhen peeking at it in other editors, I see nothing obviously
wrong (although I am definitely no expert)

That should work fine. What are the contents of your bullseye.cfg file?

There's also BullsHit (xtrn/bullshit) which you might want to give a try.

What is the filename? If it's a *nix system, the file system will be case-sensitve. Could that be the issue (e.g. filename.ans vs. FILENAME.ANS)?

I have placed a copy at http://music.brazi.net/temp/bullseye.cfg

and the problematic .ANS file: http://music.brazi.net/temp/TW2002TW.ANS

As I mentioned in another post, replacing TW2002TW.ANS in the bullseye.cfg with
the TW2002TW.TXT text version works... Just not as colorfully!

I saw that! Lots of new stuff during the 15 years I was away! I might give it a
try if I get time.

Thanks,

That TW2002TW.ANS displays fine using BullsEye for me:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApZPvWcrEaRQ1LchKaxzvel_3-dNuw?e=YMNHxe

BullsEye just calls typeasc.js to display ASCII and ANSI. And typeasc.js just calls console.printfile(). So you could experiment with the ;exec Sysop command (to execute typeasc.js) or ;eval command (to execute console.printfile) and perhaps find what's failing for you exactly, but it's working fine here.

It's Windows. And I tried ensuring it matched, just in case. Puzzling.

I might have tried the ;list sysop command on it, too, which is why I decided
it was an issue with the file. I was very sleepy at the time.

Thank you for your help. I shall poke at it further.

Sounds like it's not an issue with the filename.

Okay... Incoming weirdness!

I tried ;exec ?typeasc.js ../xtrn/tw2002tw.ans ... nothing. Right back to the
menu.

But: ;exec ?typeasc.js ../xtrn/tw2002tw.txt ... my "control" test, works fine.

I promise that the first file, with the .ans extension, DOES exist in that
location.

As an experiment, I pulled in the entire sbbs/exec tree from Git, just to make
sure nothing's corrupt. The strange behavior persists.

Wondering now if I should just save some things, blow the whole thing away, and
rebuild. This install dates from 2004.

No, I would not recomend doing that.

Did you experiment with directly executing console.printfile() via the ;eval sysop command?

Okay... Kind of feeling dumb here, but the menu shell cuts off my input and I
don't have enough room to enter the entire eval command... Increasing terminal
width doesn't help, either. Suggestions?

Type ;eval and hit enter, it'll prompt for the parameter:

Okay, well, typeasc.js is just a wrapper for console.printfile(). So... perhaps there's something different/wrong/old with your copy of typeasc.js?

I had pulled down the entire /exec directory from Git on Friday. Just now, I
extracted a fresh copy of typeasc.js to make sure. No change in behavior.

It's perplexing, but not really a huge deal. I'll keep using the text version.

Try copying the file to your "ctrl" directory and run "?typeasc tw2002tw.ans" (no path)? The ctrl directory is the current working directory when running sbbs or (by default) JSexec. I would like to help you get to the bottom of this.

do you actually HAVE that file in your xtrn/ directory or is it in a sub dir?
it's kinda messy to put it in the xtrn/ dir and not the sub dir of the doorgame.

maybe you have the path wrong in the cfg

change the filename length. it's too long.
your menu won't let you type the entire thing in unless you do ;exec THEN type in ?typeasc.js TW2002TW.ANS

i originally thought i had the same problem as you until i saw i typed in tw2022

I just gave that a try. Unchanged behavior:

;exec ?typeasc tw2002tw.ans <- immediate return to menu
;eval console.printfile("tw2002tw.ans") <- displays the file

Thank you for your help :)

I don't know why TW is putting it there, instead of its subdir. And no, I have
the path right. I've done many stupid things, but this isn't one of them.

You typoed the filename in the ";exec" test, as seen in your screenshot.

I guess the next thing I would do is add a couple log() calls to exec/typeasc.js:

else { // added opening brace
log(format("Calling console.printfile(%s, %s)", f.name, mode));
console.printfile(f.name, mode);
} // added closing brace

And then see what is logged when you try to use typeasc.js to display that file.
