    DM,

    I see how to change the pathing to my node directories for all nodes via scfg except node1. What is the safest/best way to modify that path? I see that the path exists in /sbbs/ctrl/main.cnf, but am unsure what the best way to modify it is.

    Thanks,

    I'm not clear what it is you want to do. The node paths are not actually configurable in sbbs v3 and are hard-coded to "../node#", relative to your ctrl directory.

    It wasn't anything important. When I saw I could name the node directories for nodes > 1, I was going to format the node names as follows:

    node001
    node002
    node003
    ...
    ...
    ...

    It was just me being OCD to sort the directory listing.

    Ah. To do that, you'd have to edit this line in scfgsave.c (and maybe a similar line or two elsewhere):
    sprintf(cfg->node_path[i],"../node%d",i+1);

    /sbbs/nodes/node1

    /sbbs/nodes/node3
    etc..

    when i add new node, scfg prompt for the path and i can set to
    ..nodes/node2 and 3,4,etc (this fine)

    To change all to new path, i delete all nodes but the node1 is not
    possbile to delete

    So, node1 can not get inside of "nodes" directory as another nodesXXX

    If you carefully edit your ctrl/main.cnf file (e.g. with a bin/hex editor), you should be able to change that. I'll see about making those paths configurable in the mean while.

    I take that back. Just update to the latest SCFG and you should be able to edit it under the Node 1->Advanced Options.

    I'm actually keen on this too.

    The way I do it at the moment (since I run in docker), is I move all the nodesX dirs into nodes/ and then symlink back to the original spot (which is an ugly hack).

    I misspoke and it's actually less "hardcoded" than I thought. It's now configurable in the latest SCFG as well.
