New Spectranet TNFS public server

[flatduckrecords]

A couple of suggestions for the "Other TNFS servers" list:

• Alexander Sharikhin's tnfs://nihirash.net/ - uGophy (gopher client)
• Pat Hills' tnfs://zx.cm7.ch - based on zx.kupo.be, has some cool news/weather/webcam experiments

Good morning everyone!

Another big update for the site today.

There is now a message wall where you can leave a post for users of the site, and I can ask the important questions:



Seriously. Number 1. What is wrong with you?

This was a load of fun to put together; I always wanted to run a BBS when I was a kid so this is one of the features I was most keen to implement. Thanks to [mention]flatduckrecords[/mention] for your help hacking on zmakebas to improve support for Spectranet tokens so I could make use of %fopen! I also added the TNFS sites you mentioned in your last post to the links section.

So what else ? There's now a "recent uploads" page under the new "Lists" option in the menu:



You can press a number and play the games straight from this list like all the other sections. Amongst other things, you can see I've uploaded a bunch of modern games from this thread. I want to keep this site up to date and not just a dump for old games, so this is a great way of checking out the latest additions.

Speaking of lists, I also started on the first of of a set of curated lists and suggestions. I took the chart from the OFFICIAL UK Top 40 thread and added it as a playable list:



There's a bunch of other little changes as well like a 64-column font added to a bunch of sections. You can find more info in the "about" section:



Hope you enjoy!

Cheers,

Is it possible to post here how you did this. I am writing some code which uses BASIC and adding in the % tokens is a real pain. A spectranet modded version of zmakebas would be awesome.

Hi [mention]MonkZy[/mention], some forum posts were lost so I'm just reposting this (in case anyone else might find it useful!) the source code is available on GitHub.

As noted, it wasn't my original work; I believe that Alistair Neil first added %-command support, but with [mention]mdr[/mention]'s help we fixed the tokenisation and added support for several more %-commands. Some code examples from the Spectranet Wiki were included as well for reference.

Cheers,
Robert
