Hey apam, if I am understanding the new function to store custom
attributes in users.sqlite3 -- I can create and store simply by running a function like this from a lua script?

bbs_set_user_attribute(script_avatar_id, "1")

bbs_set_user_attribute(script_avatar_id, "1")

try

bbs_set_user_attribute("script_avatar_id", "1")

:) should just create and store as you want.

Excellent! Going to convert the 'avatar' mod to utilze these new calls to
the db. Will make the code so much more clean as well. I found parsing and replacing a key/value pair in a text file (using lua) a bit convoluted
anyway!

Cool. Where do you store the avatar ansi files? Are they somewhere
specific for your BBS? Or in the script data folder?

What I'm wondering is how hard it would be for other scripters to utilize
the avatars in their own scripts without knowing particulars of the
sysop's installation.

Currently it's all just pulling from gfiles/faces.ans. Would there be a
better place for it?

Hmm, well if you want to allow people to upload them i might suggest
splitting them up into individual ansi files for each face and then
perhaps you could go by filename rather than offset, if they were
individual files i might suggest having them in a sub directory so they
are stored together.

I'm thinking of biting the bullet and attempting to add an ansi editor
into talisman and making it available to scripting, particularly for this
mod, but I'm sure it could be useful for other things.

That sounds waaay cool... Also happy to add to git it you want to mess
with the code as well! I'll work on splitting out the individual avatars.

Sure, if you want to, at present I'm working on the Ansi Editor, I'll
work on uploading / downloading via scripts after that.

This might take a while though :)
