Default VR Chat Program

NOTICE:
Victory Road no longer has an official chat.


Annoyed by using the chatroom on the forum? Tired with dead refreshing? The chat is a downloadable executable for usage on Windows 2000 and up, programmed by yours truly (Cat333Pokémon) and KingOfKYA.

Windows:
.NET Framework 2.0 and/or 3.5 is required:
3.5: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...1-508d977d32a6
Newest Versions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netf...k/default.aspx
It may not work if you only have a newer version installed. At this time, you need 3.5 if you want to use it. 4.0 alone may not work. Some releases may work with 2.0.

Linux:
Mono and Wine are required:
http://www.mono-project.com/Download
http://www.winehq.org/download/
I can't get it to work, but you can try. Still working on the native version, though!



Current Feature Set
- Retrieving latest posts (30 for now)
-- Posts are shown in order with the newest at the bottom
-- On refresh, the scrollbar is put at the bottom
-- If no new posts are available on refresh, nothing will happen
- Automatic refreshing to get newest messages
- Posting messages (as guest)
- Sound on new messages after refresh (optional via easy to access checkbox)
-- Custom sound options
- Adjusting time/date to meet any time zone
- Functional "Register" button
- Logging in
-- "Remember me?" checkbox
-- Automatic login ability (suggested by OMGITSJAD)
- Some formatting
-- Bold, italics, underline, strikethrough

-- Retained through messages, kept on close
- A custom icon: Floatzel (suggested by OMGITSJAD)
- Resizable window
- /me
- Some easy links like rules and affiliated sites

That would be a perfect idea, as the chat box is lagging the forums sometimes.

This will be nice, especially when I don't want to have my browser open to see and post in the chat. Did you make the program yourself?

Nice, It'd be as simple to use as something like *****, however may I suggest a insta log-in option, like MSN Messenger? I think the chat would be more livelier with an insta log in and just clicking the logo to start it up.
(also, a little buizel icon as the logo, and when your bar is minizied and you get new messages, the buizel starts moving and uses a very low volume version of it's call to alert you about said messages :3)

*gets neck broken by Valory for using...THAT FACE...!!!*

That's an excellent suggestion. Don't worry about Val either.

KingOfKYA can probably assert that this will work on several distributions of Linux by using Wine (a Windows emulator) correctly. I believe the same is true for Mac OS X.

Yes, I made the program myself in Visual Basic .NET 2008. (Take THAT, people who think VB is only good for programming Hello Worlds and inventory organizers. I built a chat!) I found a DLL online to help me connect with MySQL, but the rest of it, including the really annoying conversion to UNIX time and SQL commands, was all my own.

For future reference and anyone coming here from a search engine:

Convert UNIX date to standard date:
Code:
Dim timeInStd As Integer = DateAdd("s", timeInUnix + offset, DateValue("1/1/1970"))
"s" represents seconds.
inputTime is a UNIX time stamp as an integer.
offset is how many seconds offset from UTC (time zone).

Convert standard date to UNIX date:
Code:
' For now
Dim timeInUnix As Integer = Val(CDate(CDate(DateTime.UtcNow)).Subtract(CDate("Jan 1 1970 00:00:00")).TotalSeconds)

'For any date
Dim timeInUnix As Integer = Val(CDate(CDate("Mar 14 2010 08:00:00")).Subtract(CDate("Jan 1 1970 00:00:00")).TotalSeconds)
This takes the current date and subtracts the beginning of UNIX time, then finds the number of seconds in this time span.

I forsee a March release, maybe April. But if I'm lucky, it will be out later this month. The reason for this is overlooked security issues.

Wine stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator". No matter what Wine is, it should work. I can't wait to see the program.

1. Xat is only spam ridden, unless you have a chatbox and therefore only people who visited the site where the chat box is active could chat. There is also a "Members Only" feature built into xat where you'd need to be membered to talk. *I know this cause I volunteer for xat*

2. I do look forward to this new chatting system. Less lag.

Precisely. We used to have a Xat chatbox. People kept spamming sounds and emotes and sounds and sounds and emotes and sounds...

On the other hand, it was a great customizible chatbox.

No, The chat program is just an optional feature for users who aren't on a DS or Wii, the normal chatbox will stay intact, and that's how Wii or DS users can chat.

If you're particularly tech-minded, you might be able to find a way to get it to function on Wii homebrew. I don't think it would be easy, but I suppose it's possible.

Thanks. I lost The Game.
I don't really see how useful it'd be on the Wii, but it'd be cool as a DS application because I could have my DS with me while doing something else. Not that either is likely, but they're neat ideas. I can't wait for Chat333Pokémon. Yes, I just edited the post to insert my name for it.

Progress: login is now possible. The server now makes appropriate responses.

However, due to severe recoding, getting messages and posting messsages are not yet possible.

You don't use your username, you use your ID number (in your case it is 397).

The moderator is a n00b! lulz.

Click your username and look in the address bar. You'll see with a number at the end of the equal sign. Whichever number is there is your User ID# and should be used as your login on the chat program.

I've noticed something: It takes some time for the chat to display what you wrote after pressing "Enter". In other words, the response is a bit slow.

Can that be fixed?

The only way to fix that is by fixing the 503 errors that the site gives.

Okay, the chat software will have a required update soon. The 417 errors, while odd, are being caused by the Squid caching. Just use the one at the top of the forum for now.

(Serious folks, please bear with me. This stuff is not easy!)

The Beta 3 link is not working for me. Why is that?

(I'll post a screenshot as soon as an image uploader website works for me, since they're not doing so now for some reason)

So far the chat is running good except for that every now and then it will lag for a second or two and then post the message.

Yeah, it does that for me too.

But don't you agree that it's far better for it to freeze than for it to just pretend to post and not actually put it up?

It may be easier just to have people add their own fonts instead of trying to add every font ever created manually.

I don't want to allow that because then people will start using all kinds of kooky fonts that are quite rare and custom ones that aren't installed on more than 200 computers worldwide.

Anyone who talks in the chat is a member of the forum. We haven't received any problems but if anyone is a troublemaker you can just deal with them on the forum directly.

or we could get really creative and have a font package that installs

Nah, I like it better with the user choosing fonts for just their text. It makes it look more custom.

Might be. Again, it's an IE frame embedded so it might be a bit of work. It's not a high priority at this point.

The program was on standstill while KingOfKYA was testing stuff. However, because he abandoned the test project, work will resume.

Hopefully, yes. KYA is currently testing some new stuff out, so it may be on hold for a couple more days.

In the meantime, I'll be working on the Pokédex.

Question

Can I suggest something 2 things to be added? If so...
1.Maybe a drop down menu that may include things like (View Profile, Private Message)
2. As for the Private Message thing, maybe like a tab system on the top of the program? (That of course is used for Private Messaging, or maybe other stuff)

1. Ok, I was hoping I had a good idea in mind
2. Well then, nevermind

I HAVE NEW IDEAS

3.When you get the Emotes working, maybe there could be like a list of emotes on the side of the program? (Well like, you click on the side and then a list of emotes show up Like-

etc.
4.Copyright notice on the bottom of the program

The wait it because there were two things before it, now only one: [formerly] the server move and the Pokédex.

Were almost ready

The first Release Candidate will be out soon and if no bugs are found it becomes ver 1.0.

It was almost a total rewrite so its taken a while.

Does Beta 6 show the layout people have in the forum chat? Because Mag's and KYA's aren't showing on Beta 4 for me.
EDIT: Disregard this, GL answered my question.

ATTENTION
Due to illegal filesharing from beta testers without my permission, Beta 6 is CANCELLED. Now we will be waiting for Beta 7.

Thank you, Pikaluv1 ("Jawsh") and zsaberslash.





OMGITSJAD was only joking and didn't actually send it.

Cat, I'm sorry if I offend you, but as of now I don't care. I have no future here to look forward to other than how I am now.

Here it goes.

You're being immature. So what if 3 other users went on the program? What gives you the right to publicly humiliate them like this?

I only have a basic understanding of programming and servers, but I do know that there's barely any way that this could have changed the results for the worst, if that's what you're peeved about.

I also know that Josh, Zsaber and I deeply regret what we did. Isn't that enough for you? The damage (Whatever there is of it) has already been done, and it can be fixed.

Furthermore, there is fault on your part. With my 5 minute experience with the program, I can see that it should be stable enough for release(Correct me if I'm wrong!). You've also been teasing us with stupid prank links disguised as Beta 6 downloads. How can you blame us for growing impatient?


I've said all I can for now. Ban me if you will, I don't care anymore. This is just getting rediculous even to me.

Pikaluv1 (Josh) agreed not to distribute the program:
Quote:
3/29/2010 6:46:09 PM
Cat333Pokémon (Floatzel) / 猫333ポケモン (フローゼル) says:
Just don't distribute it, please.

3/29/2010 6:46:15 PM
Joshua Duh says:
Ok
Zsaber aided in the distribution, but he was not briefed on the details. I don't really hold him as acountable as Josh.

The program is significantly far from release. The rooms can be posted in, but you cannot see what you're doing. Also, the moderation menu doesn't work, and there are still bugs riddled all over the place.

As for the RickRoll links and stuff, that was mostly KYA having fun. I did participate a little, but it was all harmless.

It doesn't matter anymore though. I'm just annoyed that people went behind my back. Besides, Beta 7 has a whitelist and calls out if anyone tries to share it.

... Uh...

Tch, how many times has Josh's fail grammar/spelling/etc. gotten him into such shenanigans?

Anyways, the progress with the chat program is coming along great, considering that B4 was out for a while before B6 was in testing/illegal distribution. And now B7 is on its way, too.

Due to numerous severe security risks encountered with various versions of Beta 7, the next release will be Beta 8. When that occurs, Betas 6 and 7 will become inoperable to patch these holes. When RC 9 is out, all beta versions will be disabled.

6.0-7.2 bugs:
Anyone can change topic

7.2 bugs:
Anyone can kick anyone using Beta 6 or 7.

I will not reveal the worst bug until 8 is out.
