Debug Mouse coordinates not registering in Mystic BBS

Open opicron opened this issue 8 months ago • 5 comments

I tried both Netrunner and SyncTerm mouse commands, they work with the main menu of Mystic. When awaiting the username on the login prompt and clicking on various coordinates no text is being output on the login prompt.

With fTelnet I am unable to make mouse coordinates work. When on the userlogin name prompt, clicking on various random coordinates do output the ansi command in the prompt.

  • Could it be that, SyncTerm and Netrunner use different ANSI codes to send the mouse coordinates, very unlikely though? I tried switching the Sgr and Regular ANSI codes but both do not register. When clicking on random coordinates on the login prompt the ANSI code is being output on the login prompt.

  • Is there a different way to send the escape code to the Mystic board which causes it not to be displayed in the login prompt? I tried sendind both ANSI codes though Connection.Send (and flush afterwards) and that results in the same behaviour.

  • Mystic does send the ?1000h command which turns on Mouse commands in fTelnet. It doesnt send the ?1006h command.
