More Prompt - Messages Only is broke #15

Closed x-tec2017 closed 6 years ago

x-tec2017 commented 6 years ago

This is a 2 part problem when the More Prompt is set to Messages Only

  1. Doesn't pause messages in the Sub Boards.
  2. Entering MP causes "Illegal Quantity Error in 1870"
x-tec2017 commented 6 years ago

The More Prompt variable is held as the 2nd character in the uf$ variable. 0=Off 1=On 2=Messages Only Entering MP is an ecs command gosub1882

I think I fixed this.

im: 1882 b=2:b$="{f5}More?{f5} Prompt":gosub1871:&,52,34,a:return

1882 im=3:goto2406 (loads "im.params")

im.params: 60000 onimgoto60004,60056,60114,60094,60096

It would be good if we could force the temporary disabling of prompts during MCI read of a file. Example: printing on the same line for overlay MCI effect is still counted as a "line", even though the screen does not advance. System screens with these MCI effects are paused during play, and the more prompt will place the cursor out of expected sequence. Perhaps even a new MCI code that turns off prompting for the duration of that particular file/transmission/post/etc.

That's a good point, @ThaDoctor72 .

Left Mor (I assume) turns off the More prompt. Right Mor says the More prompt isn't available. I don't know what the difference is. We'll have to experiment to find out which toggle would be more effective.

I'm having trouble downloading the latest .d81s from Facebook. Can someone confirm that Left Mor is toggled on after setting MP mode to 2 (On) or 3 (Messages Only) in im.misc? if not, we should add that. Something like 60117 &,52,34,sgn(abs(a>1))+1 should do it. Mor mode will be cleared for options 2 and 3, cleared for option 1.

Actually, no. &,52,x,1 clears the check mark. &,52,x,2 sets it. So:

60117 &,52,34,1+abs(sgn((a=1))

Heh, I love Boolean expressions.

It already done. Check mark is included.
