Finally cbstuff has the chat client! (in General)

sorry for the delay, had some things to do which came first :)

bartjan@zarniwoop:~/ChatClient$ java -cp . ChatClient username password carnage carnageblender.com 7007

And no, that is not because the username/password used in above example...

Don't look at me, look at the people who created it :)

I'm pretty sure that means "this applet can only connect to where it was downloaded from."

(There's a standalone NFC client available but I don't think I updated it to support the features I added for CB at all.)

You're using the wrong version of the client. I'll send you the latest.

Newest version sent to your gmail account. Note that we're not out of beta yet on this little project.

Shade's gmail account?

Yeah

Eh my bad. That must have been the version I compiled on the other machine.

I have a few different boxes with a few different versions of java installed; on one of them I have the J2EE installed, on the others I have the J2SDK. When I compiled with J2EE it wouldn't work on normal JRE machines (for obvious reasons which slipped my mind when I did it).

My apologies for this.

Also, it isn't in applet form currently (I am kinda-sorta planning on converting back to an applet version if need be, but only after finishing some more functionality).

Current Features:
Alphabetical Name List
Font Selection (have to write a text iterator so this will work as it should, but it's usable as it is)
Colours (planning on writing a colour selection dialogue one of these days)
Autoscrolling Text (but if you want to read back, you have to toggle it off with /autoscroll. I had a piece of code which should have worked, but it didn't... not sure where the bug was. Again, will be looking into this in the future).

Still To Do:
Font stuff - as above
Colours - as above
Auto scroll - as above
Labels - need to label each text pane and the userlist
Applet - convert the class back to an applet for kicks and giggles; applets cannot use sockets to connect to any other host than localhost due to security considerations, and some of the parameter stuff will have to be recoded.

-----------------

If any kind soul is half decent at Java, and doesn't mind the inevitable bout of nausea when reading my ugly, hacked up code, then please download the client and have a bash at doing the changes.

KEEP A LOG of what you did, and please comment your code.

Thanks,
muon.

CBstuff updated with the version NightStrike sent me. :)

The version I've just downloaded is the same version as NightStrike already mailed me, and which contains the same files (minus some small changes to the readme) as the previous version found on cbstuff.nl.

Would you mind fixing the window resizing too? I'm running this on debian and this is what my window looks like when I try to resize it:

Any idea where to find the new supposedly working version?
With Sun's Java 1.4.2 it does not run at all (see error above) and with 4.1it does somewhat run, but resizing doesn't work, amongst other things.

1.4.2 is very old... use 1.5.0

1.5.x breaks the chat applet in a much more horrible way than 1.4.x...

Just tried it with IBM J9 VM (build 2.3, J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 Linux x86-32 j9vmxi3223-20060504 (JIT enabled) and this one seems to work perfectly (apart from not being an applet). Resizing, scrolling and all.
