Your the dumb!@#$%^&* that overloaded a zones Fload rules, am I, as a programmer, suposed to try and take into account every stupid thing a user can do with my program? Sorry, I dont program around PEBKAC errors. Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair A very common virus often found in the wild ^^

Ask and yee shall recieve, go download the new alpha release v0.9a on the site. ?nenter ?nleave ?ndeath

Ok, see, ?arena isnt a client side command, its a server side command. If the server interpits it, not the client, which is why it wasnt listed. But I supose that since most people come from an Esc A Continuum era, and not SubSpace, I should list it. As for minimizing and it scrolling to the middle, infact, so far as anything goes with the chat box, ignore it. Im gonna have to redo the entire thing i dont even know how yet, and im sure everything is going to change. As for the profiles, oh ya, cause ya know i only havnt impimented that cause im lazy suuure itd only take me 5 seconds to just whip up a text file and profiling and all that..... <- note sarcasm. If it was easy, i would have done it already... But one thing at a time, ill worry about new features once i fix the text box bugs.

An interesting project, id voluntear if I didnt know BigSlam so well ^^. Now if it was Macaub asking, then id take it seriously, particularly considering this would be right up my ally, if I had the free time. Which lately I have, but hopefully soon I wont, although probably will anyway knowing my luck. Thiers my bit of extemperanious jabber, now I have to go ^^.

Ekted, hate to be picky, but your method is completely unportable, which is why its generaly a good idea to use functions to pick data out of a string of bytes, then it is to try and stuff a string of bytes into a struct !@#$%^&*uming the architecture the program is running on uses the same byte order as yours. Of course, if you just want to program like Microsoft, then it hardly matters. Youll notice this kind of blunder in LogicBot in the Settings area. Ive been working on making it endian (sp?) independent. God I hate spelling... Anyway, thats my 1 and 1/2 cents worth.

Thats certainly a posibility, although ive already started the class for the Directory Server window, youd need some knowledge of the wxWindows API in order to continue where I left off, and I tend to be rather particular about my coding But im certainly not willing to say no. If youd like to take a look at it and see if its something that youd be capable of, give me an email address and ill send you source archive for you to take a look at. (btw, I wouldnt mind a copy of SubStats source ) and yes, this project WILL be open source when its finished, no questions. I just dont like to open source junk before ive had a chance to turn it into gold

I made the offer to CVS this project if thier was enough interest. But no one stated any interest in it whatsoever, so i dropped the idea. Itll be a lot of work to get this project up on a public CVS and I aint doin it unless its gonna be worth it. Requirments for this project: -ANSI C++ Knowledge -wxWindows 2.4.0 C++ API Knowledge -General Understanding of SubSpace and its workings. If you think youve got those, step up to the bar, if ive got a few people willing to try, ill do it. -*BAD WORD*-, id be willing to release the source either way if it wernt for the fact that I think id end up with all kinds of nasty -*BAD WORD*- forks of this app. Id rather wait till I was done before I release the source. The only exception being if thier were enough people interested in helping. Oh, and understand im a very picky coder and Id probably make it very difficult to stay interested in volutearing I tend to code alone, but im willing to brake it out and see what a small group can do.

Ok... it would be realy nice if the portable API im using would cooperate. Im starting to realy dislike it and in about > < this much time im going to say to heck with a Linux port and use strait up Win32 API. Ya, incase you cant tell, im having a -*BAD WORD*- of a time trying to get the main chat buffer to work correctly... I might have to let that slide for a bit longer and go work on something else, well see.

What a coincidence ^^ so did I. I completed all of the S2C packets in it, but I havnt touched the C2S ones, but then, mabye yours is better than mine anyway whatever the case, ill either merge them, post them both, or just yours and get rid of mine. kirk@metalgearctf.com will work, i hope ^^. If you wanna see what ive done with the list so far, i just updated it on my site.

thatd be a dirty hack, i dont like dirty hacks, i either do it right or not at all, im working on it, listctrls wont work cause of the way my multiplatform api handles them, but i think i found something else that will. not to worry!

Yup, it never clears, it just loads up more and more data until it bogs down to the point where it just stops. Oh it WILL add that line.. eventualy.. mabye... if you check your CPU youll prob notice it juicing up a goood 100% or so (basicly whatevers leftover, cause i set its priority to low so it wouldnt cause system slow down) I think I finaly figured out how to fix that up, so hopefully that wont be an issue much longer.

Ok, Userlist is fixed up (I know it doesnt sort by teams, nor does it tell you what team each person is on, ill get to that dont worry, at least the second part anyway, sorting by teams sounds like too much of a pain in my -*BAD WORD*-.) Right now I think its time for me to do a little backtracking and bug fixing. I think I finaly figured out a way to fix the buffer bug (as in it never emties) and a few other problems MABYE... BUT! it requirs some serious re-writing. So ill prob be busy doing that for now. (btw, this will also make the logs look nicer (aka like Ctm makes them with the P and T for priv and team msgs and the like). dont tell ekted but i figured it out by reversing how Ctms chat interface did it. Honestly using a ListCtrl for the main text box didnt ocur to me at first ^^ but i think itll turn out to be the perfect solution. Well, let me know what I should work on next once I finish the bug fixes. Heres whats on my list: - Add user info on mouse over (Popup box with user info on mouse over of user names on user list) <- no idea how yet, but im gonna do it - Download list of Zones from ListServer - Add support for SOME type of profiling, even if its primitive - Fix up Main Chat window <- Doing this now - Allow Client side commands to be executed in the Auto - Anything else you guys can think of? kirk

Snrrrub got a hole lot farther than Snark did, snark is lazy but Snrrrub hardly needs my help, he already has a very proficient core, if he wants my Chat UI, id probably be more than willing to do that for him (hey, i could be the next Ekted ) but ya, its just too much work all things considered realy, with very litthe gain, hence why no one has realy done it before.

Im still trying to figure out a way to execute Client commands through the auto field. The Auto Commands are executed way below the link level of where the client side commands are handled. And proccessing client side commands twice is not only sloppy, its just asking for trouble. I need to figure out a way to either move where client side commands are proccessed so that the auto commands can get to them, or figure out a way to get the client side commands to the auto function... Ill figure something out, just give me a few to think on it.

check it out on kirk.sscentral.com Just a few minor bug fixes, plus the vaunted right justified names which D wanted so badly, not an option yet, hard coded, ill make it an option later. I forget exactly what all the bug fixes were, but thier minor if i remember. EDIT: Oh ya, i remember, changed Interzone to people in your arena to PMs

I hadnt realy intended to make it an option... Thats kinda a pain in the -*BAD WORD*-, buuuut, ok, sure, an option it will be... I needed to expand the control pannel anyway. I guess sooner is just as good as later. Just that itll take me much longer to do it all. Also at this time I am expanding my Bot Core to basicly include every single protocol packet that SS and Ctm support, just for the sake of completeness, when i finish that or mabye before, ill start work on this.

D your a genious!! Itll look like crap on non-fixed-width fonts, but so does Ctm. Cant believe I never thought of that. As for the other "bugs" it only happens on slow connections so until now, ive never been able to diagnose it. Course, im not all that happy about being able to diagnose it now... (grumble grumble bloody 56k) but anyway, ill look into it. It happns very rarly though, so its hard to find. Anyway some eon or other when i actualy get a chance to do some programming again, ill see about adding that feature in, it shouldnt take more than a minute.

Thatll be easy enough, and by the way, i changed ?help to ?cmdhelp just to make everyone happy ^^

As I think I said before, implimenting // is a royal pain in my -*BAD WORD*-. And I just dont think its worth my time, I think people can learn to use '. If it becomes a major issue with EVERYONE in all of -*BAD WORD*- -*BAD WORD*-ing at me, ill put in the 5 or so hours id need to impliment // but otherwise id like to work on more important things.

No wonder ive never changed freqs with it.. you CANT ^^.... Guess I should impliment that...

lol, wtf are you doing changing freqs anyway? haha, never thought of that one, ive never changed freqs with it, ya, i can fix that easily enough. And as for Linux Binaries, well, its a distint posibility, wxWindows is Linux friendly, but first id need a Linux box/os to compile it on and id need a Linux guru to help me convert the last few bits of code that are win32 specific.

AutoConnect hasnt been implimented yet, and as for reconecting, it auto reconects every 20 seconds after it gets DCed, thats hardcoded. This discusiong should be continued on the Kirks Bot Spot forum please.

Update, kirk.sscentral.com is now up and running, you can get SubChat from thier. Thanks Pol

(This was posted in Devel before SubChat had its own forum) Yup, you heard right, this new build of SubChat is now ready for distribution. Just one hang up, ive got no place to upload em for people to download anymore since this forum system doesnt support uploads obviously ^^. Anyway, just so you can drool until someone is kind enough to give me a place to upload it to. - ?arena now works correctly - added the ability to store last 10 names that pmed you and use :: to scroll through them (same as Ctm) - added ?help to list all commands that my client supports internaly (supports all server side commands by default) - added ?nowarnings to shut up those stupid sysop warnings were all sick of reading And a few other minor spruce ups and bug fixes. Cant wait to get some feed back on it, someone whos got the B/W and the space give me a shout at kirk@metalgearctf.com you can PM me on these forums too, but email is by far the fastest way to get ahold of me.

Making // work is a pain in the -*BAD WORD*-, people can just get used to ' People in other frequencies jaz is covered under User List Sprucing. Importing of zone lists.. huh?? How would this work? I can think of a few ways, but all things considered I dont think it needs doing. Moving between zones via command? I had considered that, but the command would be too difficult I think, but if someone can think of a good interface for it, ill consider it.
