Hello everybody!

I'm working on creating a display file for the External programs menu. Is it possible to make a display file for a specific users security level?

Thanks,
RickV

It's not a built-in feature of "display files", but you could modify your xtrn_sec.js file (suggest you copy to your "mods" directory first) to display different files based on the user's security level, if you like.

Ok, I see. So I plugged the xtrn_sec.js into ChatGPT and asked it to make me a new xtrn_sec.js so that it will display a ansi file based on security level. Now I can create a specific file (xtrn_sec_50.ans) for my external programs that only that security level can access.

so did that actually work or did it bomb out.

So I ended up with a NEW xtrn_sec.js I put in the mods directory,
and renamed the orignal in the exec directory, just to save it.

You don't need to rename the original in that case. If a script by the same name exists both in mods and exec, the mods version will always
take precdence.

RickV

can you post it on pastebin? i'm interested in seeing how IT

modified

the script.

Ok, here it is.

https://pastebin.com/7AGgk6eQ

i'm surprised that chatgtp made workable code.
i've tried to use it to generate weather scripts for eggdrop,etc but
it would just make junk. then it would plagarize a lot for other
ideas.

maybe digitalman can scrutinize the code.

That would be nice to hear what he thinks. I also had ChatGPT make me a script to read the messages areas msgs.ini and make me a goldEd .txt file in alpha order, and with groups ID.s

A link to the script itself (not a screen shot) would help.
