Hello all,

I am currently trying to get started with MPL and am looking for a list of all Mystic configuration variables, such as:

- CfgThemePath
- CfgTextFB....


Thanks for your help.

Jump over to chatgpt and ask this question, it lists a whole bunch.

So I start which I found. I edit a script and compile it, if a CFG is not present, then you will get an error.

I created the 'newest' documentation - and tutor files; around 21 of them - on 2oFB... if you search 'MPL DOC'... the zip is something like MPL_2022.ZIP.

It includes info about MPL, MPY (xqtr) and tutors (black panther) along with additions from whatsnew.txt of the Mystic releases not covered in the original docs...

Thanks Pauli,

is your new file a local or net-file?
I found the mpl_112a36.zip, I think your docu is based on this informationen.

In the mpl_112a36.doc are the following CFGs listed:

CFGSYSPATH : System Path
CFGDATAPATH : Data Path
CFGMSGSPATH : Message Base Path
CFGPROTPATH : Protocol Path
CFGQWKPATH : Local QWK Path
CFGMPEPATH : Script (MPE) Path
CFGATTPATH : File Attach Path
CFGLOGSPATH : System Logs Path
CFGTEXTPATH : Text Files Path (for the current language)
CFGTEMPPATH : Temp path for the current node
CFGMENUPATH : Menu Files Path (for the current language)
CFGTIMEOUT :
CFGSEEINVIS : Gives the "See Invisible" ACS value
CFGTNNODES : Number of max telnet nodes to allow
CFGNETDESC[1..30] : Give the network descriptions.

To be sure and found them all... first, you do this (in linux terminal):

strings mplc | grep -i cfg

This will spit out, every "cfg" reference that the MPLC program has. And then use this script based on yours to see each one.

uses cfg

function bool2str(b:boolean):string;
begin
if b then bool2str:='True'
else bool2str:='False';
end;

begin

writeln('cfgsyspath: '+ cfgsyspath);
writeln('cfgdatapath: '+ cfgdatapath);
writeln('cfglogspath: '+ cfglogspath);
writeln('cfgmsgspath: '+ cfgmsgspath);
writeln('cfgthemepath: '+ cfgthemepath);
writeln('cfgqwkpath: '+ cfgqwkpath);
writeln('cfgmenupath: '+ cfgmenupath);
writeln('cfgtextpath: '+ cfgtextpath);
writeln('cfgmpepath: '+ cfgmpepath);
writeln('cfgtemppath: '+ cfgtemppath);
writeln('cfgsemapath: '+ cfgsemapath);
writeln('cfgtimeout: '+ int2str(cfgtimeout));
writeln('cfgseeinvis: '+ cfgseeinvis);
writeln('cfgtnnodes: '+ int2str(cfgtnnodes));
writeln('cfgchatstart: '+ int2str(cfgchatstart));
writeln('cfgchatend: '+ int2str(cfgchatend));
writeln('cfglogintries: '+ int2str(cfglogintries));
writeln('cfgpwtries: '+ int2str(cfgpwtries));
writeln('cfgechochar : '+ cfgechochar);
writeln('cfgdeftheme: '+ cfgdeftheme);
writeln('cfgtextfb: '+ cfgtextfb);
writeln('cfgscriptfb: '+ cfgscriptfb);
writeln('cfgpfallback: '+ bool2str(cfgpfallback));
writeln('cfgtfallback: '+ bool2str(cfgtfallback));
writeln('cfgmfallback: '+ bool2str(cfgmfallback));
writeln('cfgsfallback: '+ bool2str(cfgsfallback));
writeln('cfgnetdesc: '+ cfgnetdesc[0]);
end.
