Would be nice to enable dns, as a future upgrade rather than see ipv6 long codes after a room name

im curious how an ipv4 only user is going to connect to an ipv6 only room or user (or vice versa).... the two versions get along on irc... but on mx? this is gonna get ugly...

The room host or the user could use a tunnel broker, you can find a list of a few here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IPv6_tunnel_brokers

Microsoft has a utility on this page to check for possible problems in your code when making applications IPV6 compatible, and offers possible solutions. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms738649%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

In theory it's just a case of changing
[ RoomName : S ][ 00 : 1 ][ LineType : 2 ][ PrimaryIP : 4 ][ PrimaryPort : 2 ][ SharedFiles : 4 ][ UserName : S ][ 00 : 1 ]

to

[ RoomName : S ][ 00 : 1 ][ LineType : 2 ][ PrimaryIP : 16 ][ PrimaryPort : 2 ][ SharedFiles : 4 ][ UserName : S ][ 00 : 1 ]
i.e. making the ip field long enough to support the 16 byte ip address needed.

That would only work if your room and the clients are all using IPv6 unless your using dual stack, chat servers would also need to be modded to support IPv6. The problem then is how to display the rooms in the channel list as the protocol atm doesn't support IPv6 or a way to display a IPv6 room hash.

I'm sure its been mentioned a few times already over the years but the limit is not 4GB but 2GB hard coded.

This was done to support win98 users and back in the day they made up  most of the userbase, XP was at that time a spring chicken. At fiirst glance some folks will suggest that FAT32 has a file limit of 4GB which is correct but whats often forgotten is that win98 can also run on a FAT16 partition and there I hope the penny drops.

As RebelMX shows it is a simple matter of sitting down and changing a few fields to adjust the protocol but obviously a new protocol requires a supporting client, fortunately Robomx/Metis src code is available.

On a slightly different note: what is it that actually stops WinMX sharing files larger than XXX file size?  Does the client itself ignore those files when listing them in the library?  As it appears the protocol in my understanding already supports files up to 4 GB in size.  What sort of limit would you want to set?

:(  Hopefully the new client will be up to par soon.

robomx like winmx is ipv4 only...

Oh yeah.. is it possible to use the chat functionality of the network, and RoboMx in general if you are using IPV6? I know the file sharing does not work, but I was hoping the chat functionality would work.

Is this the most up to date, stable, and functional build of RoboMx for English users? httpss://archive.winmxworld.com/MxControl/RoboMx/RoboMX208_en.exe

I have been looking at a few updates and improvements to RoboMX so it should be pretty easy to modify for the very few packets that may change.  As it is primarily a secondary protocol chat client there are few packets that are likely to change for it.

metis is a plugin to robomx... as long as robomx is compatible metis will be...

Sounds like this one can be made compatible with the the upcoming new network with some protocol changes to the code.
