Hi,
If it isn't too late, I'd like to help in developping the program. I don't like to brag about my skills, but I have about 10 years experience in Basic.
I downloaded the chat prog, but it seems my Winsock version is out of date. Where can I find the newest version?
[Edited by Bart on 06-10-2000 at 07:29 PM]
I created the program and so i can give you the winsock file that i used for it ?
This program also uses other DLL files you won't have, on the chat site there will be a new link called dll files, you will need to download this file and then register the .dll files with Regsvr32.exe, okay!
sophtware:
you don't need to do all that messing around with your
register to get back on Napster......just remove (move) the Metallica songs and you are back in business...
Have fun!
lads, get this sorted, we need to chat now !!!
Do we have a site where we can chat about this?
http://www.rickard.net/scripts/chat.cgi
A chat place no one else uses, check it and arrange a date and time
Anyone for Tomorrow at 7:00pm EST?
I cannot get on until 9.00pm G.M.T weekdays but all day weekend, i say it should be at weekend as more people will be home and less messed after work, school etc
I can make the chat anytime after 6.00pm on weekdays and all weekend. Remember though, my time is GMT, and not Pacific time... Seen as PsyVision would prefer weekends, how about Saturday, 9.00 PM GMT, in that chat place he detailed?

I can make that, who else can make it
I could probably make it at Saturday. How do you convert GMT to EST?
You subtract 5 hours from the GMT Time...
that's why our time difference is -5:00 when we choose time zones...
Okay. Time to be rude.
The napster idea is stupid.
This whole idea is stupid.
Stop wasting board space.
The two logical and best ideas are:
Web board(like this), or database.
P.S.
Napster is the stupidest program ever created. It's even worse than PsyVision's chat program. ;) Napster is slow, buggy, badly designed, and risky. Well, you have my reasons. I think i'll leave it at this.
I know wy that ain't wokin, you all missin a dll
Count me in. I've got lots of neat bits of code that I'll share.
And that's why it's so popular?Quote:

DiGiTaIErRoR, if you haven't got something good to say about this topic, and if you're so concerned about board space, then don't bloody post in response to this thread.
People are doing this loads on the board recently... I mean, someone has an idea, and instead of offering positive encrouragement and feedback, people just take the piss and get all offensive on the topic. What's going on?

BTW, I don't think Napster is ****, and neither do the people that use it. Again, as in the other posts on Microsoft, evertything comes down to jealousy, eh people? :)
People who say MS is trash are using their products, as with Napster. Probably 99% of the people who say it sucks use it.
I'm just trying to help here. This isn't about the actual program itself, but if you guys want a server give this guy an e-mail:
[email protected]
he created his own multiplayer game, and its pretty cool, and he gets servers from somewhere, but not sure where. Give him an email and see if he can help you get started looking for servers and stuff.
On ma way
I don't know but I think a database would work. Get a few asp hosts that support SQL access to a Access database(E Web City), we make a few different databases and use a few different hosts so the databases don't get too big and so we don't overload the host. Say a new database for each catagory... I have a cable modem so if they got too big it wouldn't be much for me to dl them and back them up.
I don't know if this makes sense but it should work.
Andy
BTW, I was [email protected] so i do have more posts than it says.

I mailed david micheal and he said
I've leased servers from these places to date:
http://www.mudservices.com
http://www.webservepro.com
Right now, we have 3 servers leased from Web Serve Pro. They've done really well for us, and their co-location fees are very reasonable.
If you want to research other places to look into, I recommend going to The Mud Connector (http://www.mudconnector.com) and checking out their listing of places that are willing to host MUDs.
Good luck!
http://www.mudconnector.com/ looks v. prommising check it in the resource section, there are several server things.
Sorry about this. I just remembered. England are playing Germany on Saturday in Euro 2000... I don't wanna miss England win! Soooo, I can't make the chat thing we organised for Saturday night. Any other times?

I counted 4. You, me, Fox and PsyVision.
Well, that is a nice little team we have got ourselves here :) :) :) A couple of other guys have mailed me showing an interest, so they may come along, but the total is probably gonna be around 4 or 5 peeps. Nice little team, not too few, yet not too many...

hey lets do it on aim aim is only a 5 mins download adn its easyer to do to so do it on that a
Okay, heres what we do, lets go to the url i told you before and then once everyone is there then we can decide what do to, how about win net meeting, that comes with win98 so most should have it, i don't have aim but some do and i have icq but others do so lets meet at the url and then decide !
Does it have to be AIM?
Why not just on IRC.
Everybody has mIRC!
Let's just decide which server and create a channel.
OKAY LETS USE MIRC REM SHOULD CREATE THE CHANNEL AND THEN WE SHOULD ALL JOIN IT
I'm sorry about this, I haven't got MIRC either. I uninstalled a lot of apps recently cus i needed the space. I'll give it a miss then...
Bye

Can we just go in that chat room that u specified for tonight...?
Laterz
REM
Heh :) We are spending more time trying to find a time/place to chat than making the prog.
We'll just go to that chat room and if it's too slow, we can decide then what we do! OK?
Good idea... I'll wait there
I have a little problem. I can't go to the chat site.
Explorer can't find the location.
Does anyone have this problem too?
