  • Re: disply more then one ans screen on login

    From paulie420@21:2/150 to Widgit on Tue Feb 3 18:23:12 2026
    is there a way to have more than one ans screen load after login and
    befor the main menu i seem to be only able to disply one in the prilogin menu useing disply file and if i try to add more they dont load ....
    any ideas please

    Yes, we can do this... so... there are two .mps scripts that run on Mystic. One is RIGHT after connect; startup.mps I believe?? And another - gosh, tho, I don't know if I'm gonna remember it right now...

    At any rate, one can modify those scripts with something like;

    dispfile("filename")

    Where "filename" refers to filename.ans, filename.asc...
    Can someone else shout out the startup.mps and OTHER .mps that are called directly after connect and before prelogin???

    If I'm understanding the question correctly.

    Just add another entry in your prelogin menu with firstcmd and display
    your file as needed.

    Hey,

    Just to back up what niter suggested (and probably others), just add as many ansi splash screens as you need as separate files using the (GD) command.
    We have numerous logo and info screens on log in and we just added a pause prompt (|PA) at the end of each screen.

    Cheers.
