Hi! Ive got a little trouble here...

I had a nice feature in The Vault BBS (a curated art gallery... When you
press "+" a random ANSI file is displayed... of course, I did it putting 30
or so files with the same name: ANSIFILE.ans and ANSIFILE.an1, ANSIFILE.an2, etc... so Mystic display them randomly...

Well it doesnt work anymore! It displays only two different ones (the same) skipping nearly 30 of them... curious, because it worked!!

Do you please give me some advice? Whats wrong now? Or at least, what COULD
be wrong :)

Thanks!!!

yes there is a new file naming convention implemented.

[snip]

- The old random display file system is gone so if you have the .ana, .anb
type files you will need to update them to use the "new" system that is
being brought over from the Mystic 2 build.

+ New display file random system. If for example the base filename of the
display file is "test" then you can make any additional files with a .#
after the base filename and one of them will be selected randomly. The
old system had a limit of 36 random ANSIs per display file but this
system has no limits. For example:

test.ans
test.1.ans
test.2.ans
test.10.ans

Mystic will randomly select and display one of the above files.

Hope that helps :)
