Version 1.4 of the AI-WX Weather door has been released and is available on the support BBS and website. ANSI and Sixel Radar and various weather data graphs as well as a ton of new command line driven options.

Thanks, Lonewolf. Question; will our licenses get unlimited version updates?

I'm gonna grab this and see if it fixes my issue... I'm working on it this weekend and have been pointed to the last line in !FAQ.TXT as a possible fix - I'll report to you @ FireSide.

I'm not sure if this is related here, but I was having the toughest time with Linux and lines that went over 80 columns. Basically if you need to send a line to the terminal that goes over that Linux would force a line feed.

It was working so many other places I was thinking it was SyncTerm at one point. I worked with Deuce and Rick Parrish to the bottom of it. The closed ticket with discussion is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/syncterm/tickets/176/

... just to update, I found the issue. Instead of the following Mystic Menu Command;

./wxdoor -D%P

I needed to add;

export TERM=ansipc && ./wxdoor -D%P

A user mentioned that I might need to add that to my BBSes env, and they were right... I went and checked another native app/door I use - lynx - and I had to previously add it there, too.

So that was the fix for AI-WX on a Debian Linux 64bit system to get AI-WX working correctly... [Updating all the threads I posted about this issue.]

Interesting, and thanks for the follow-up!

FWIW, my env var for TERM is:
TERM=xterm-256color

and I'm not even sure where that's getting set. Seems to work, though.

What do you have for your "Default Origin" under Configuration -> Message Base Settings?

I don't believe Mystic strictly has a place for a "QWK tagline", and just uses the default origin in lieu of that, appending it to the bottom of QwkNet messages.

At least, this has been my experience with the few QwkNet messages I've posted from Mystic.

It would mess up the QWKnodes utility collection of BBS names used to create the DOVE-Net route.dat file, but otherwise, it's mainly just non-conformant: networked messages normally have a tag/origin line to indicator where they came from.

Thats what I'd originally thought - but I DO have origin lines setup, so... HMMMM. Maybe QWK doesn't like my 'l33tsp34k' tagline? Maybe I'll try something w/o special chars - but that don't make sense.

Hey paulie420!

On Fri, 28 Mar 2025 19:18:00 +0000, you wrote:

Definitely odd, so let's look a little further,

When you look at your message bases via: mystic -cfg > Editors > Message Base Editor > <any Dovenet area>, what does it say on the right side under "Network"? Does it say "QWKNet" for all of them?

Then, when you edit one of those (take Dovenet - General, for example), what do you have under:

Base Type:
Net Address:
Origin:
QWK Network:
QWK Base ID:

If QWK Network = None, keep reading..

Just making sure some of the important stuff in relation to QWK networking matches what I have on my working setup. It may be something simple like specifying a fake net address (or creating an echomail address entry as 0:0/0) even though it's QWK networked:

in 'mystic -cfg > Networking > Echomail Addresses', do you have an entry for Dovenet (even if it's 0:0/0, at least you're specifying a domain and description)? If not, and all of the above mentioned stuff checks out, try making one with this info:

Address
Zone 0
Net 0
Node 0
Point 0
Domain dovenet
Description Dovenet
Primary No

Then you would change every Dovenet area to use:

QWK Network: Dovenet

It's probably something simple (and hopefully the above is the case, or I'm probably going to be scratching my head, too), where everything in regards to QWK networking still works, but maybe it's treating it as a local message base, instead (which then doesn't append a tear/origin line). Just need to find the odd switch that changes that.

Nick

mystic -cfg > Configuration > Message Base Settings > Default Origin

.. and if that's already set, maybe it only uses that for FTN, rather than QWKNet links. Then set it manually for each QWKNet area:
