Snrrrub Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 Starlight 1.3 is now available for download on my site: Starlight 1.3 2008-12-28 Release 1.3 - changed compiler and installer for easier deployment - added support for themes - arena list uses themed highlight color instead of light blue - removed background color option - this should be set via themes - remote private messages now displayed as :playerName:message (Continuum-style) - messages to chat channel 1 are not sent as;1;message anymore - fixed protocol bug that caused position packets to be ignored - fixed occasional map checksum errors in ASSS zones - worked around GTK's minimize->restore window bug on Windows -Snrrrub Quote
Hate The Fake Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 starlight = chat client? Quote
CRe Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 Its a chat client you don't need special access for like VIP.txt and such. Quote
Hate The Fake Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 can this program be installed on cell phones? Quote
CRe Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 can this program be installed on cell phones? I don't think so but it would be awesome if it could be. Quote
»D1st0rt Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 which compiler did you change to? if its something I can use please upload the linux binary Quote
renskav Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Excellent work!! Keep it up! Greatly appreciated by us idlers.. Quote
Dav Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 try and compile it for win mobile if it can be done, seems to be becoming a popular smart phone platform now. Quote
Snrrrub Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Posted January 4, 2009 I'm not going to get into any debates about which mobile platform is "better" (for varying definitions of "better") or more "popular" (again, for varying definitions of "popular"). Here are my thoughts on a mobile Starlight: 1) the mobile space is extremely fragmented2) mobile data plans are still too expensive for most people in most places3) given our small population, supporting one mobile platform will only help a handful of people4) GTK+ hasn't been ported to any major mobile platform AFAIK If it were to happen (and I'm not saying it will), I would only consider the iPhone or the G1 given the current landscape. -Snrrrub Quote
»freakmonger Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) is there a way for you to be logged into two different zones at the sametime? Also, when I try to add a word to the notify list it crashes Edited January 9, 2009 by freakmonger Quote
CRe Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Yeh you can run a second instance of Starlight. Quote
»freakmonger Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 yea I tried that but it just reopened the same app. Guess I did something wrong Quote
Audry Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Also, when I try to add a word to the notify list it crashes Yeah it crashed on me too when i tried to add words. Oh and Snrrrruuuuub, where's the version you were suposed to send me!?! Still cant use my french pro letters Quote
Hakaku Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Oh and Snrrrruuuuub, where's the version you were suposed to send me!?! Still cant use my french pro letters Change your keyboard settings rather than using the ALT codes, it works fine for me. Quote
Audry Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 lol you really think ima change my kboard setting for a chat? Anyway, Snrrrub already fixed it, just need to send me it. Quote
prozaker Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 it comes with an old version of gtk and if I update gtk because another program needs it, it says it doesn't work anymore. this application has failed to start because libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll was not found. reinstalling the application ma fix this problem. what about a portable version? or something like that Quote
rootbear75 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 can you make a version that doesnt require an install? a standalone app? im on a computer that I can't install stuff... Quote
CRe Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 It would still require you to install GTK. Quote
»Purge Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Unless you do it in Java like Chatnut... Quote
Snrrrub Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 freakmonger: you should be able to run multiple instances of Starlight - I do that most of the time. If you're still having trouble with it, let me know which OS you're running. Audry, freakmonger: I haven't been able to reproduce the crash bug on my end (Vista and Win7). Freakmonger, is your default system language set to English or some other? That may have something to do with it. Again, it would be nice to know which both of you are using. Hakaku, Audry: The next release of Starlight will have a fix to correctly send and receive accented characters. prozaker, rootbear, cre: GTK on Windows is just a miserable experience. I'm looking into redistributing a private copy of GTK with future Starlight releases so you shouldn't have to install anything - just copy the files onto a USB stick and run the executable. Purge: I'm not a fan of hosting applications inside a browser for a number of reasons. As for Java, not everyone has a JRE installed on their machine so it wouldn't exactly be a standalone app. -Snrrrub Quote

Yeah, a portable self-updating version would be nice. Quote
rootbear75 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 ya, because then I could use it at work. Quote
prozaker Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 yah that would be nice, because if you update gtk you break starlight. and lol god forbid you have multiple versions of gtk installed. Quote
