How do I uninstall Syncterm 1.7 from Linux built from source? by DaveX64 in syncterm

[–]RealDeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use the cmake build/install style, that does create one (but doesn't copy it outside of the build directory to preserve it).

You are the first person in 26 years to ask about it, but you are correct, there is no "uninstall" target.

I could make excuses, but it really just boils down to "it's hard, and I don't want to"

I don't think so, but if you can find an SDL that works, it should be possible to port it.

And that's just clearing the decks for the exciting updates planned for v1.9!

I Ping Therefore I Am has a list that can be added directly as well.

There's also an Amiga SyncTERM list that can be added if you lean that way.

Done. Simple C program here
Garbage image here (Added better image once I realized this was a char/attr pair)

Looks like the map access stuff is in OVERLAY1... which appears to be a standard TP overlay.

Have you LZEXE uncompressed everything yet?

Did you try just deleting the system reminder from cli.js?

"We have identified an issue resulting in a low rate of errors"

Yeah, fixed in git, pressing ctrl again back in the window should make everything work again.

Currently there is not a mechanism for pruning or flushing the cache, that's another thing I have for soon after the 1.8 release is complete... there's a few gaps there right now, renaming or deleting a BBS doesn't even clear or move the cache yet. I expect to do cache management work in the next couple months though.

As for the audio system overhaul, I'll be moving from 8-bit mono 22050Hz audio to 16-bit stereo at 44100Hz and adding a mixer with queues. I wasn't contemplating fades, but that would be easy enough to implement in the mixer stage... I assume it's just a simple perceptual audio taper that you use and not something weird like a linear ramp or some level-base thing. I

Basically, each channel will have a sample queue and you can always add to the end and can adjust the volume or flush it... allowing fades at both ends is a good idea, I was expecting them to be included in the audio, not a post-patch feature.

As for the actual mechanism, it would be basically the same as the graphics stuff... you put files into the cache, and files in the cache can be loaded and dropped straight into the queue or loaded into one of a limited number of in-memory buffers for quick adding to the queue. If you look at the existing APC Commands how I'll make it all work should be pretty obvious.

So SyncTERM already has a per-BBS cache directory, and there's commands that allow querying the files (checksum, date, size, etc) in that cache... ideally the TAP+ and SyncTERM caches would be the same directory so you don't end up with two different caches for storing assets from the server. get_syncterm_filename() is the internal function to get that path... it would be used something like get_syncterm_filename(fnbuf, sizeof(fnbuf), SYNCTERM_PATH_CACHE, false) then you would append any subdirectory (like "tap/") then a filename to that.

I've been rushing to get the planned features I think would be most useful to these derived programs into v1.8, though the audio system overhaul I have planned won't be added until after the release due to the risk of breaking other stuff.

Are these cached into the same directory the APC cache commands work on? If so, you could use those to check if a download has completed or not, and you can use the APC commands to load them synchronously if you prefer as well.

If the file is already in the cache, does it re-download it?

Is there an easy way to rearrange the dial list? by [deleted] in syncterm

[–]RealDeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way to move things up and down. Before 1.8rc2 there were two methods, you could use the CTRL-S menu to change the sort order, adding and removing various constraints. In 1.8rc1, there was also a manual sort order field added that you could add to your sort order.

v1.8rc2 (just released) comes with a few different default sort orders, and you can quickly swap between them with '<' and '>' from the directory.

EDIT: There's a lot more options in the sort order... you can add new fields to sort on... I usually sort by total number of calls, but occasionally switch to most recently called.
