problems with chat

[dascribe]

I have gone through the chat tutorial multiple times and everything appears to be accurate, but the chat is not working properly.

When I run it w/ the lacewing server and local host, it connects, but the reset and loop option is not working properly. It resets, but does not refill.

When I try to connect with the outside servers, aquadasoft or klikfarm, it does not connect at all.

When I tried to look at the source on the completed game, the mouse over in the grid was blank and it crashed the MMF2 file. Of course I tried it a couple of times.

So my chat is not working, though it was the first time I tried it, but that file does not work anymore either. The demo files (completed game,completed chat) don't work either.

I'm not sure if it was the MMF2 crash, or if my code is wrong, or what the problem is. I sintalled build 249 as well, which did not help the problem, so now that is uninstalled.

I've done the chat so many times I could probably build it in under 3 mins :S. Can't figure out what the problem is. Any solutions/ideas would be most appreciated.

The problem is that you reset the list AFTER looping the peers. So it does loop, but resets the list after it. Switch to event list editor (control + L) and move the "reset" event on top of the "loop peers" event.

You have an old version of Lacewing. You need to update to Lacewing Build 14.

Thanks for the responses,

Ravenius,
Nice catch!

LB I think you may be right about the lacewing in relation to connecting to outside servers.

I'm going to download it now.

Thx guys.
I just took 2 aspirin and I was about to reach for the bottle again

I downloaded the new versions of lacewing and I can now log on to klikfarm.

Aquadasoft still isn't working though. So Iam all set, but I figured I'd put out an FYI about Aquadasoft so someone else can test it.

thx again

Hnm, the AquadaSoft server should be working, unless Jamie has updated the protocol (hopefully not)!

If u have old version of lacewing don't delete it and share it with me please...

[LB]

QS, he has one that is 12 or less, so you would not be able to connect to any servers.

(Hey, by the way Dascribe, aren't you a veteran Atu'los player? )

Well, things are definitely working with the AQ server, so what isn't "working", exactly?

[dascribe]

Yes Mathias, it is I lol

The issue is that I can't connect to the Aquadasoft server, but can log onto the klikfarm one. That's not a major problem, unless others are having a problem too. But I figured I'd mention it so others could test it and see if it works for them, or if something bigger is wrong.
