Masquerade Last Callers v2.0 for Synchronet BBS An updated mod of the original Masquerade Last Callers by Blakdeth (Masquerade BBS).

Displays the last 10 callers on your Synchronet BBS with a clean ANSI/ASCII display. Unique in that it shows only each user's most recent login — a caller who logged in 20 times in a row appears only once. Supports Telnet, SSH, SFTP, FTP, and HTTP(S) login types.

What's New in v2.0

• Sysop exclusion list via lastcallers2.ini — omit any aliases from the display
• Age field removed from display
• Updated documentation

The original v1.1 files by Blakdeth are preserved in the og/ folder for reference.

Installation

1. Copy lastcallers.ans and lastcallers.asc to /sbbs/text/menu/
2. Copy lastcallers2.ini to /sbbs/ctrl/ (edit if desired)
3. Copy lastcallers2.js and date.js to /sbbs/exec/
4. Add a new External Program in SCFG:

SCFG -> External Programs -> Online Programs ->
Main -> Available Online Programs

 1: Name                       Last Call v2.0

load("lastcallers2.js");

Configuration

Edit lastcallers2.ini in /sbbs/ctrl/ to exclude aliases from the display:

# lastcallers2.ini
# Aliases to exclude from the Last Callers display.
# One alias per line. Case-insensitive.
# Lines starting with # and blank lines are ignored.
sysopname
anotheralias

• The file is optional — if missing, no aliases are excluded
• Exclusions are case-insensitive
• Inline # comments are supported
