V 1.44

if you don't want to kjoin #main or fail to connect or whatever, version alert will occur on $local
if your welcome message is too long (>50 or >300 char) it will no trunc it (but will when printing it)
handy cap renamed to advantage
saving preferences to disc is now done in a low process thread makes it faster to leave the pref screen AND /befriend and / ignore

clients are sorted using quicksort instead of bubble (faster)

Has the colourpicker been mentioned yet? It "works" when adding a bot but it doesn't read them from the registry in the context menu selction nor in the actual colour changer dialogue. They're stored however. It worked properly in Betalord's latest client.

Could you add in so say when we go to pm someone we can see the log of what we said last time in the window greyed out?

ie save chat logs.

AF · Post by AF » 10 Jul 2006, 18:28

no, savign chatlos is already done, i mean displayign them in the pm window grayed out so you can quickly see what you where talking about last time without navigating to the log folder and opening it up....

altaric · Post by **altaric** » 10 Jul 2006, 18:41

Pinning it to the start menu wont work, ti end sup giving errors, you have to pin a shortcut to the start menu instead.

V1.46

added a tag for mappers so the client doesn't create a cache for your map : add "├â┬¥" (alt 0254) in the map description and delete the cache if it existed

added page up and page down for online maps

fixed the welcome message not showing if msg length < 50 (or 300)

added "Ban player" in context menu

-----------

AF, what do you mean "Pinning it to the start menu wont work, ti end sup giving errors, you have to pin a shortcut to the start menu instead." ?

In XP the startup menu you have the first screen that shows up. You have on the right the usual my computer/control panel etc and on the left to lists

the second list is the programs you use the most, but above that is a section of things 'pinned' to the start menu. This is usually email/internet etc.

As you can see I ahve pinned your client tot he start menu and renamed it to AltaClient. But directly pinning the executable doesnt work, it gives errors such as 'no mods found' which are followed by hundreds of access violation message boxes. The only work around is to create a shortcut to the executable then pin the shortcut to the startmenu.

My guess is that it's because of the stupid way Windows runs the program from a different location - it doesn't set the current directory to the location of the program. When you create a shortcut you can define the "Start In" location which defaults to the program's location which is why it works properly.

That being said - it would be nice if the program could deal with that and be able to run no matter what the "Start In" location is. It should be able to get the location of the folder that the program is actually in and use that instead.

Could you add a "favourite maps" section? that would be awesome- saves me having to scroll through all the maps looking for the map i cant quite remember the name of

This client works for me alright until i close ti and I get errors, and when I close them another comes up and I have to go into process explorer and nuke the process to stop it.

This is the data MS VS 2003 gave when i clicked the debug button for the general win32 unknown exception:
