    Hello Apam,

    I'm trying to get ibol working here but there is some problem. When I run ibol.lua from the main menu it starts, I don't see it at all but an empty ibol.ans is created in the data directory and then I am disconnected.

    I have edited the first two lines of ibol.lua like this..

    local msgconf = 2; The fsxNet conf, listed as conf # 2.
    local msgarea = 9; The fsx_dat area, listed as area # 9.

    Is that the correct way to to set the area to read/post?

    Ttyl :-),

    That's correct, but I think there are some bugs with the scripting access
    to the message bases which prevents this and the interbbs last caller
    scripts.

    Also, I'm unsure if it's 0 based or 1 based - it's been a while, so it
    might be msgconf 1, msgarea 8

    I was using 0 based and switched it to 1 based for a look. It still
    failed but I see this on my local terminal where I didn't see anything
    before..

    magicka: lua_glue.c:252: l_messageFound: Assersion 'mc != NULL' failed.

    The tick before mc is a back tick but I can't use that here.

    I dunno if that helps any.. but that's what I see.


    I was looking at those 0 based values and wondered to myself if 1 based
    would be better.
