• DI ansi speed

    From Skuz@46:1/102 to g00r00 on Sun Feb 1 20:41:57 2015
    This change has removed all of the ansi speed choices over here above 57600
    - 115800 - 128000.. etc. Before, my Art Gallery used ~path\ansi\;99;display
    and the scroll was smooth and pleasing to view. Full speed = way to fast.
    (this new) 99 = 57600 way to slow. Anyway, 01 - 99 are worthless speeds.
    Making the speed controls worthless on the board and in the art gallery.
    Could you either change it back or add back all of the faster speeds? If
    others have a problem with this also, lets discuss it and figure out a
    possible fix on how to get a faster scroll speed. [Vote]?

    The quickest fix would be just change it back.. because it work fine before.

    Yes, this new baud emulates very real baud rate, you've also capped it at 57600. These are worthless speeds, if your looking at todays scrollers with several hunderd lines. By removing the CAP bottleneck that is now in place it would return to real world telnet board speeds. This real baud emulator might be real for 20 years ago. But I prefer to stay in 2015 and not need to change every single ansi here that contains a |DIxx code. Just because you wanted a REAL baud emulator that ever existed peice of worthless shit. If i'm watching the several hundered line of ansi art jet down the screen at light speed (the new full speed=00) that is also not good. The bottom line is you had it right the first time, putting the total speed in control in the hands of the op
    with the boadband connection, then let him control bandwidth (rate) that his system works bets with. Taking away an option that we all used and were happy with kinka sucks. Now that I can nolong control the scroll speed to a rate that I can actually live with. Whatever.... i'm done.. bitching about this stupid idea that mades know fucking sence to me whatsoever. It your baby, I just use it. If you like breaking it, and changing it into the worst idea ever..do it.

    What exactly are you asking to vote on? Are you asking to have better
    emulation wihtout feature lose? Then I vote to keep the higher buad speeds if it doesn't effect emulation. however, I need to consider that you have to
    edit a lot of ansis, to achive something you did not want. I could probably
    use sed and awk to help speed up the process uf updating your |DI command. On the other hand I hate lossing features, the modem support because it made a nice piece of software that much better. If possible please keep the higher speeds because i also have lots of ansis.

    Are you reading what you are saying? 57600 is the fastest baud rate possible. The ANSI screens *fly* by. Common sense should tell you that its not my "worthless ideas" and my "worthless" cap of 57600 baud that is the problem here.

    (The cap is actually 115200 twice as fast as the fastest modem in the world)

    Common sense should tell you that 57600 would not be too slow considering the majority of the ANSI in the world were done and viewed fine at FAR less baud.

    Common sense should tell you that either you are doing it wrong or something has changed or something is broken.

    Did you even TRY the DI mci code outside of the art gallery?

    Did you ever stop to notice that no one else is complaining?

    Did you consider that maybe asking if something changed or bringing it up in
    a way that someone might actually take you seriously could have been a better idea?

    to a rate that I can actually live with. Whatever.... i'm done..

    I emailed you about this over the weekend, I believe. I think something is seriously broken on the Linux side. Any ansi that I had |DI99 in doesn't display at all, and seems to lock up the session until I hang up and call back.
    Once I take the MCI code out of the ansi, it displays fine.

    Did you ever stop to notice that no one else is complaining?

    My only complaint is that it stopped working completely for me! (so far, anyways. lol!)

    Ah! That's what caused the hang! I had an issue during logon that my
    session would hang and I had to hang up. I display a login screen during login, and some have the DI mci code in them. They are set to DI40. I'm guessing now that that was the issue.

    Honestly, I would not have thought of that as the cause of the hang. I have
    so many stacked menu option in my prologin menu that I would not have thought of that as the cause of the hang.

    This is the honest truth, I have just 6 welcome.an# scrollers .. all where
    set a DI99 also have a few other smaller ansi screens that looked better getting slowed down with DI99 .. My art gallery was ~\;99;\display

    Did you ever stop to notice that no one else is complaining?

    Sure, they most all like your new A61 DI speed changes, or never used DI to begin with, in the why I've been using it. I'm sure there are a few not even running with A61 yet and not effected.

    Yep, clearly its myself and my ideas that are stupid here... Clearly.

    I like most all your ideas and changes, just not this one. The mystic art gallery really sucks with the your new cap speed of 115200. That you called
    in the whatsnew.txt (full speed). You took away the option to access the DI speeds used in A60. Then replaced them with your new speed bumps and expect anyone to be happy and love the new neighborhood.

    His problem isn't with Mystic its with his own approach and lack of attention. The software isn't changing anything the end user would ever notice. He'll have better results when he upgrades to A62 and then configures his art gallery to not display files at 99 baud like he has it now.

    There never any excuse for his attitude...

    Easy there, killer! It was never mentioned that it wasn't implemented in Linux yet, so I thought it may be a bug and reported it. That was all.

    My question then is, if it wasn't implemented in Linux yet, was the old code removed and no new code put in? Because A61 would hang completely and not allow
    you past any ansi that had |DI in it.

    Anyhow, A62 fixes it, and 99/115200 works great, so thanks!

    There nothing wrong with my attention. A61 did change the DI speed, that is
    the truth. I did expect to see the changes after I upgraded, because I read

    thing i did was remove all said |DI99 from the ansi and also change the art gallery to read ~\ansi\;00;display Sorry, but I didn't like the result.

    There is hardly ANY noticable difference between DI99 in A62 and A60, except that the A62 is much smoother. You can try to pretend all you want that you didn't make a HUGE deal over a bug, and that your approach is somehow justified, but its not.

    DI is fine. It works MUCH better than it did and if you used it in any type of creative way outside of DI99 at the top of your login ANSI, you would see
    that.

    Ask any of the Linux people who didn't even throw a fit when DI *crashed* their system in A61 what they think now that they can use it. I bet every one of them will tell you that its not this epic unusable "worthless" system that you speak of.

    You are creating a problem that doesn't even exist...

    Been a straight-through subscriber since March of '05, but Cata and MoP

    months, which is a long time for me. =)

    I might actually buy this expansion and play again if you're playing, maybe dick around on whatever server you're on. Mask and g00, kickin' ass in WoW!

    I figure most people would be fine with that, unless they explicitly state "don't use mah shit on your BBS", and then I wouldn't. Like knocturnal, for example. I heard he doesn't like it, so anything of his I wouldn't think
    about. Been trying to get a hold of him to ask if it'd be okay though, since
    he was my co back in the day. =) I really like his work, always have.

    yeah but supposedly it is in bad taste to use art pack files on our systems... at least that's the take away i got from a recent conversation in the last months about systems doing such...

    I look at it this way. If I created something back in 1996 and 20 years later I ran across it on someones board being displayed with my name still on it and not sitting collecting dust in a file area where NOONE is even looking anymore, I would think that was badass. I don't think there is an artist from back in the day, if you actually got a hold of him would tell you to not display that menu ansi because it was for made for Rivendale back in 1990 and they may put their bbs back online.. Or maybe I am wrong. I'll tell you this,
    I SUCK at drawing and the bbs scene is not booming with artists like it was
    in the past so If i didn't use ansi's from the past I would just shut my bbs down cuz I can't stand to look at generic screens..

    I do passable ASCII lettering. That's it. Anything else and I suck sweaty
    goat balls. And I've recently come to realize that ASCII lettering for BBS menus still look fairly... plain. So I wrote a login ANSI randomizer for the TG board I'm setting up with a bunch of really kickass stuff from Blocktronics. Lot of enzo stuff I put up as well, I saw after. A lot of knockturnal stuff I wanted to throw on there, but like I said, not gonna unless I can get his permission.

    Aaaaaanyway, the point is I'm gonna test it out with the TG board and see
    what user reactions are. If it's mostly positive, then I'll probably toss a bunch of really excellent ones on this one. But yeah, I really wish I could coerce someone to do a few for this one. It'd be pretty sweet.

    I think we all do that from time to time.. when we get tired to seeing
    the same old thing over and over again. It's a shame that we don't
    have ansi artist pounding out cool artwork to all the telnet boards
    any more. The good new is that blocktronics will release another pack
    a 4pm EST today.

    Since it's 5:30pm central time here right now, I went looking. I only found this:

    "This artpack will be released on February 4, 2015 (4pm UTC/GMT-3)!"

    I think that's more like 8pm Eastern, isn't it?

    Yeah well Enzo backed the time up to 10pm his time so that = 8pm here.. so right about now it should be releasing .. because time is up.

    I'm fairly certain that if the ansi has been orphaned, who would it be that would come up and bitch-slap you? And if the artist does take a notice of
    you, then you will have finally gotten his attention, and might actually have
    a discussion about it.

    I've played with figlet a bunch and that is where I get many of my generic ascii lettering. There's well over 100 fonts in there. Admittedly, 80% are garbage, but maybe you'll find something you'll like.

    To be completely honest, "time is up" when they damn well say it is dude. They all could be off doing digital art for big companies (yeah, they have the skill).. so if they delay the pack for any amount of time, but still release something? I'm happy they still do it.
