Well....I can always host a chatroom, since I've finally got my own server...:)
That might be easier. :cool:
unfortunately, it's only turned on when my computer is on, and even then, it's only when I remember to turn it on.:D
heh im:
MSN: [email protected]
AIM: RRRedth
ICQ: 22921863
if anyone wants to get in touch with me..... im online most of the time :p
Holy leader what we will use now? Ei chatroom or Yahoo ?
Are we going to do a portal too? If we are, then I can try to get one set up on F2S.
f2s = fucklng 2 slow ?
It's really, REALLY fast now.:);):D
They got a cable instead of a 56k server maybe :D
So.......
So....
We are supposed to have the meeting now ?
I think so...:)
Did I miss the meeting ?
Yes, you did
*** no one called me !:D
heh i kinda missed due to my lack of German fluency ;) heh, don't ask!!!
The OCARINA Protocol Engine (or OCARINA Communication Toolkit)
is almost done but still has some little bugs
I will also try to make it a DLL instead of a FRM.
Is that client-side or server-side?
It is currently planned to be Client-side but it is able to listen for incoming conections, too, which allows to use it server-side.
But for the server there should be a special Protocol Engine optimized for many connections and not for one up to about 20 like the current one (although it can handle more connections it wouldn't be that a smart idea to use it for a server because one instance of the Engine handles one connection. For a server you would use an engine which is able to handle >100 connections per instance)
Here is a list of Icon ... I do not know if we have already all our icon for the IM : Msn Icon List
The Protocol Engine DLL is ready now
It can be downloaded from the board at the URL=http://www.ocarina.de.vu]OCARINA Website[/URL]
It is located in the "Communication and Protocol" forum.
This forum is visible for Development team members only.
If you not previously did you can register at the forum and I will set your member status to "DevTeam Member".

many icons...
We still have to add a lot of them, I think...
Unfortunately we can't use them because MS will slap us for infringing copyright law.
But we can use the VBForums emoticons, since they're public domain. (VBForums got them from somewhere else, too.)
Cool then.
I already downloaded all vBulletin Emoticons months ago...
I can zip and upload them if you want.
and BTW: we can create some icons ourselves...
but who needs the "Beer"-icon?
I know one of us can modified them a little ^_^Quote:

I was just wondering....since i'm the one to write 100% of the code for the IM, don't I get to keep it?:) :D
I wanted to do something but I never got the change :rolleyes:
I'm sorry.:(
Unfortunately, I've got the communication, the client, and the server all written. (Or fortunately, depending on how you put it.)
Call it : Secu-o-Max and put my name in the credit for the name ;)
Probably: Secure-It! Instant Messenger.:D
You will need to work on a strong encryption to do not loss your reputation :D
Great if the IM is ready but we should implement a real protocol.
(Check out my DLL)
BTW: why don't you upload the source of the IM to a secure forum (your forum or my forum) so the members of this project team have a chance to implement their own functions, suggest improvements and check the can code for small bugs.
(Many programmers find more bugs in a source than one programmer)
And BTW some bugs only occour under very special circumstances... (i.e. my BitBlt routine worked fine on my PC and on the PCs in a firm I wrote a program for but it caused errors on your PCs)
Put the source code in a secure place.

Ooh, ooh, I've got one! OCARINA Network! OMG! :D

On my computer, where none of you can get it!:D:) :cool: :p ;)Quote:

Ok I will take a look.
Okay, i've got the IM client and server both working.
Here's the "features" i've implemented so far:
1. Log In/Out
2. Buddy List (although you can't reorder the people in it)
3. User status (eg.: away, busy, online, invisible, etc.)
4. New user (finished, except for 1 really annoying bug)
Here's what I'm planning to do:
1. Allow reordering of buddy list
2. Allow user to group buddy lists into different groups (eg.: Buddies, Friends, etc.)
3. Allow people to send chats to each other (duh!:D)
4. Allow file transfers (might be a bit complicated)
So, here's the questions:
Currently, I'm storing all the user data in text files. Should I switch to using databases?
1. Are the statuses customizable?
2. No file sharing should be implemented.
3. What's the annoying bug? :)
4. Go nuts on the DB if you want but I don't (not sure about others) know jack about DBs.
1. Currently, no. However, it will not be hard to implement such a function.Quote:

2. Okay.
3. It allows you to create new users, but you can also enter name of existing user and change their password. (Read my question concerning INI files in General VB Questions).
4. I don't know much about DB's either, so currently, I'm sticking to INI and text files.:D
You might wanna work on #3. ;)
the number 3 problems is funny ahaha:D
Problems with the client:
The gray text is impossible to read, just use vbButtonText instead of gray.
?????
What grey text?
(#3 is now fixed.:D)
Is that the #3 you were talking about?:DQuote:

I have sent the sourcecode to Andreas. He's currently in the process of debugging it...:)

lol....didn't think about the color schemes!:D
(That ikon in the top-left corner is REALLY messed up! It should be 64x64)
The tray icon is alright though. Remember that Windows XP can use >16-color icons so go nuts with gradients and such if you want. :D
I have the icons in 254 colors.
Look at my question about icon color depths in General VB Questions.
Anyways, I got to go.
See y'all later!:D
I can not log on your program, it load infinitely
1st: I changed something in the IM client:
I added a globally defined constant for the server's IP (it might change...)
2nd: The client runs for me now
I started both client and server on my PC an it worked.
The error must have something to do with your PCs connection to the internet, eiSec...
Filburt, did you get my PM?
*checks* No.
