  • How to run prelogin MPL script

    From TALIADON@21:3/138 to All on Fri Jan 21 18:38:57 2022
    Hi All,

    Is anyone able to advise how I can get Mystic to run an MPL script as soon as
    a user connects (i.e. before 'preuser.ans' is displayed during a non-matrix login)?

    I've had a snoop around the documentation and menu systems, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

    As always, any advice would be gratefully received.

    What I did was follow the botcheck way. Find "detected" in the
    prompts.dat/txt file and add a script with !scriptname.

    In the readme of botcheck you can find the exact instructions.

    I think it is also possible to use startup.mpl which is executed
    automatically.

    oP!

    Perfect.

    Thanks opi, very much appreciated.

    Now that I think of it, it might have been startup.mpx-- iirc.

    Perfect.
    At least it should get you going ;)

    Spot on opi: startup.mps/mpx appears to work beautifully :)
