Introduction

Oblivion/2 XRM

A text based bulletin board system served over Telnet. XRM for (Extreme Remake) is my attempt to recreate and emulate one of the most popular DOS based BBS software with its one of a kind interface and configurability.

Project details

The system is still in very early development and is not a working system as of yet.

You can follow the changelog in the root folder for progress updates.

Main development is current under Windows with releases planned for Linux, OSX, ARM.

Using CodeLite http://codelite.org/ IDE for W32/64 and Linux Workspace(s).

Built under g++ MingW32/64 5.1.0 using latest c++11.

The Build/DOCS folder has information on installing and compiling in Linux and OSX The root folder also has new build scripts that will compile and setup everthing once the dependencies are installed.

Development Goals

The initial goal is to implement all legacy system actions in use on the default setup/install. With options for extended customization added later on to keep progress going.

Progress Notes

Screen shot showing some of the latest work on the menu system. The default theme template and menu prompt in action while switching menus. The menu system is still pretty raw and a lot of logic still needs to be completed.

Then some screen shots in Linux Mint (Vmware) of the most recent updates.

Sample of the Menu Editor modeled after the classic style

Work In Progress (Latest Feature Branch) - Full Screen Message Editor Initial design concept with expanding height templates that the are used in the rest of the system.
