Hey Datalus,

Are you using paths to each of your nodelist.zXX files?
Here is the important part of my mergenodelist.ini file...

nodefile=/mystic/files/fsx/fsx_node/FSXNET
nodefile=/mystic/files/rtn/rtn_nodelist/retronet
nodefile=/mystic/files/tqw/tqw_node/tqwnet
nodefile=/mystic/files/fdn/fdn_nodelist/ZONE2
nodefile=/mystic/files/fdn/fdn_nodelist/NODEDIFF
nodefile=/mystic/files/fdn/fdn_nodelist/NODELIST
nodefile=/mystic/files/NODELISZ
nodefile=/mystic/files/ark/ark_nodelist/araknet

My paths are formatted like this...

/mystic/files/NETWORKABBR/NET_ECHO/FILENAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION

The folders are how I configured them in Mystic, and not based on net names etc.

The filenames are as they're sent via the hub(s)

One thing I have made however, is a script to strip erroneous lines from the nodelist which creates some weirdness... my script runs straight after the mergenodelist.ini is processed, and it does this;

sed '/^[ACD][0-9]*/d' -i data/nodelist.txt


Hope this helps =)

[MergeNodeLists]

; Finds the latest nodelists and merges them together in the mystic data
; folder.
;
; Set nodefile value one per line. The value should contain the full path
; and the base filename of the nodelist.
;
; examples:
; nodefile=c:\nodelist\nodelist
; nodefile=c:\nodelist\agoranet
;
; The above example will search in c:\nodelist and select the latest
; nodelist.### and agoranet.### nodelists. This comparison is first done
; by checking the day extension. If the extension is archived (.z12, etc)
; it will be unarchived before comparison.
;
; After decompressing, the 3-digit day extensions are compared, selecting
; the highest number. It will also compare the years of the file dates,
; and select the newest option. So if you have nodelist.025 dated 2013
; and also nodelist.320 dated 2012, nodelist.025 will be selected.
;
; The same process is then be repeated for agoranet.### and once all of
; the defined 'nodefiles' are processed, they will be merged together and
; copied into Mystic's DATA folder so it can be used for nodelist lookups.
;
; If no nodelists are found, Mystic will not overwrite the current
; nodelist. Comments are stripped while merging to lower filesize and
; increase search performance.

; Strip nodes marked as DOWN?
strip_down = true

; Strip nodes marked as PRIVATE?
strip_private = false

nodefile=c:\filebase.bbs\f_wc\nodelist\nodelist
nodefile=c:\fsxnet\fsxnet

Watch your paths, must point to .Znn files NOT text files :)
