Subject: Colors and text.ini problems

I'm trying to change colors on some of my prompts. For example, I'm trying to change the "545 LastFewCallersFmt" entry by creating ctrl\text.ini with the line:
LastFewCallersFmt: "\r\n\1n\1h\1c%-2d \1n\1g%-6u \1b\1h%-25.25s \1m%-25.25s \1n\1m%02u:%02u \1h%-8.8s \1n\1m%3d"
(this is all on one line, terminated with a Windows CR/LF)
I recycled the servers, but still don't see the new colors reflected when I log in again. Am I missing something?

That text.dat string is used when sbbs writes to the the (legacy) data/logon.lst. The colors you see when you login are likely from the logonlist.js module, which parses the data/logon.json file and uses the [logonlist] last_few_callers_fmt value from ctrl/modopts.ini to display the eached logged login. This format is different than the text.dat string since it supports more login-types.
So in short, set [logonlist] last_few_callers_fmt instead. The default format can be seen in exec/logonlist.js.
