### Creating a Configuration
|
||||
Your initial configuration skeleton can be created using the `oputil.js` command line utility. From your enigma-bbs root directory:
|
||||
```
|
||||
./oputil.js config new
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: System Name
|
||||
`core/config.js` provides the default system name as follows:
|
||||
You will be asked a series of questions to create an initial configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Overriding Defaults
|
||||
The file `core/config.js` provides various defaults to the system that you can override via `config.hjson`. For example, the default system name is defined as follows:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
general : {
|

boardName : 'Another Fine ENiGMA½ System'

# Menu System
|
||||
ENiGMA½'s menu system is highly flexible and moddable. The possibilities are almost endless! By modifying your `menu.hjson` you will be able to create a custom look and feel unique to your board.
|
||||
ENiGMA½'s menu system is highly flexible and moddable. The possibilities are almost endless!
|
||||
|
||||
This document and others will refer to `menu.hjson`. This should be seen as an alias to `yourboardname.hjson` (or whatever you reference in `config.hjson` using the `menuFile` property — see below). By modifying your `menu.hjson` you will be able to create a custom experience unique to your board.
|
||||
|
||||
The default `menu.hjson` file lives within the `mods` directory. It is **highly recommended** to specify another file by setting the `menuFile` property in your `config.hjson` file:
|
||||
```hjson
|
||||
general: {
|
||||
/* Can also specify a full path */
|
||||
menuFile: mybbs.hjson
|
||||
menuFile: yourboardname.hjson
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
(You can start by copying the default `menu.hjson` to `mybbs.hjson`)
|
||||
|
||||
You can start by copying the default `mods/menu.hjson` to `yourboardname.hjson`.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Basics
|
||||
Like all configuration within ENiGMA½, menu configuration is done via a HJSON file. This file is located in the `mods` directory: `mods/menu.hjson`.
|
||||
Like all configuration within ENiGMA½, menu configuration is done in [HJSON](https://hjson.org/) format.
|
||||
|
||||
Entries in `menu.hjson` are objects defining a menu. A menu in this sense is something the user can see or visit. Examples include but are not limited to:
|
||||
* Classical Main, Messages, and File menus
|
||||
* Art file display
|
||||
* Module driven menus such as door launchers
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Each entry in `menu.hjson` defines an object that represents a menu. These objects live within the `menus` parent object. Each object's *key* is a menu name you can reference within other menus in the system.

You can be explicit here if desired, by specifying a file extension.
