Isnt it time for a new release?

My biggest thing is how ourmx refuses to find its own connections.

It searches well, it blocks the fakes. Let it run wild and it should simply either find more connections on its own or reload from the caches.

Or is that is what is preventing a new release?

Forget the nice appearance crap. I would run it 24/7/365 just to rape, KM or whoever, and knock all other polluted clients offline myself.

What is the holdup?

It shouldnt be terribly complex to make the thing notice that it has run out of addresses and should access the servers to get more at least.

I think you all are attempting to be too perfect.

If that one little bug has been corrected, time for a new release.

There is no problem with multiple releases and corrections.

How well has that worked for microsoft and firefox?

VERY well.

Ghost was complaining how users are going away. Well, no wonder.

Ive been away from running winmx at all for a few months, doing my trucks transmission, running around back and forth to the doctors for my client, rebuilding my new computer.

I fired it up again 2 days ago, and its worse than it ever has been.

Seriously. The part that blocks the flooders and shows the real files has already been done on the first release.

Can this thing be made functional enough to at least spread itself all over the WPN and flood the flooders?

I would imagine that if their successful attempts were to become less successful, they would find it most annoying.

Time for a new release. IF it has gotten that far along, with the ability to at least access the caches to keep itself online forever as a primary. The biggest thing is cutting off the flooders, with a nice stable neverending connection, KM or whatever is doing the destruction.

I would have no problem with running ourmx myself as a simple primary. Without the expectation of trades. As long as it runs along increasing the strength of the WPN.

So, time to release a version that does that.

All other improvements can wait till later.

We are aiming for a release this very month Miners Lantern, due to the nature of the work we have to rely on the voluntary time of some rather talented folks and with the economy here in the UK where both guys live being a bit of a damp squib its been hard work keeping their heads above water financially, both developers are spending more time working than ever before, however they too feel its time for another release and are incorporating all of the code updates created since the last versions into the release so we should see a more successful and pleasing issue,

On the negative side, there are some parasites who have been going around the chat rooms disparaging the initial work already put together simply out of malice and those kind of folks are the ones the developers have to address also as whilst your happy to run whatever is delivered they cant really be expected to put something out that's going to allow these time wasting chumps an easy stick to beat WMW and themselves with, and thus some significant level of functionality has to be achieved with each release that's substantially an improvement over the previous build, the developers think they have achieved that at this time and are preparing for a release, it may take some days or some weeks but they are expecting to deliver another beta as soon as they have cleaned it up and stabilised some of the new additions as is normal practice.

I have been complaining about general apathy in the userbase but we both know theres a core group of folks who wont be bullied and dictated to by selfish attackers who seek to destroy the community, this war has been raging for some time now and as you correctly point out is the result of one guys stupidity or malice, I cant be sure which it was but one guys treachery has lead to a significant assault on the community over the last few years, my point for moaning was that time is being lost by myself posting news and doing work that others could spare a few minutes to do and its disheartening to see few care about this place enough to help with those roles just when we need the extra support.

On the better news side of things, the developers believe they have addressed the IP gathering issue successfully and many other petty annoyances, like yourself I look forward to the next release and more such releases over time until we have all our eggs back in the community basket.

looking at the bright side of it all I see a community that still exists eight years after official close down in spite of all efforts of certain individuals to destroy it.
If that is not an achievement I really don't know what else is.

GhostShip · « **Reply #104 on:** April 03, 2014, 09:52:11 pm »

Very well said Wonderer, I'm always proud to be a part of this community as are many others and its often forgotten that the support community has been maintaining the network for longer than frontcode did, as you say a fine achievement and one we should always be thankful for

Well 1st of all... well down everyone for bringing the community back online

links down, i havent had a chance to fix it up

GhostShip · « **Reply #107 on:** April 05, 2014, 09:25:08 am »

The Ourmxworld.com forum is being worked on at this time Eddy Belly, its scheduled to reappear when we have the beta 2 client ready so folks can deliver their feedback and notes to the developers, due to the amount of bugs in beta 1 its probably best you hold fire till beta 2 arrives, Its scheduled for release in some weeks and we hope will fix many of the annoyances folks have been teling us about

Do you have a release date yet?

GhostShip · « **Reply #110 on:** April 25, 2014, 07:44:13 pm »

It seems setting release dates is like shooting yourself in the foot

The beta 2 is still being worked on to deliver all the magic we can and on top of that beta 3 is being started, this will feature an open nap engine so folks can join open nap if the WPN sky falls in, this will of course follow the beta 2 release as thats a key one but after that the developers hope to be able to have more frequent releases and finally get things back to normal for you all.

If folks have some time to help me with collating data for the open nap side of things that would be most welcome, as always thank you all for your patience and rest assured theres work going on every day towards getting an initial proper release thats not a beta.

did I ever tell you to wear safety shoes ?
There seem to be bulletproof kevlar types for those that keep shooting in their foot

My post which highlights the lies and failings on here was deleted.

You dont want the truth do you?

Embarrassing

GhostShip · « **Reply #113 on:** April 27, 2014, 06:05:39 pm »

I'm not aware of any post that was deleted, mind sharing your thoughts with us ?

Please try to stick to the topic however as folks get bored (as I do) with paranoid rants that have little basis in reality.

* GhostShip awaits interesting post

There is no paronoia, I actually checked back and read my own post.

You lot are embarrassing with your false promises and lies.

GhostShip · « **Reply #115 on:** April 27, 2014, 07:13:32 pm »

Sorry I must not have made myself clear :

What is it you wish to tell us ? I was hoping for something more cerebral with perhaps some diatribe regarding the slipped release dates , you know something I might be able to discuss in a mature and adult way, I still have no knowledge of your alleged post nor it seems does anyone else here, are you even sure you pressed the "post" button ?

silicon_toad2000 · « **Reply #116 on:** April 27, 2014, 09:27:45 pm »

I deleted the post. It was obnoxious and threatening and had no place here.

If you want to make a point about your disappointment that's fine, but I won't have posts here threatening to continue spamming if your account gets banned.

GhostShip · « **Reply #117 on:** April 27, 2014, 09:53:34 pm »

I suppose its nice that the poster cares so much about the new client but when placed against the silence each time I ask folks for a little help perhaps he only has himself to blame, however.. Fuller my apologies for thinking you had made a mistake in your claims but as Silicon says if your post was so bad hes deleted it then I can only ask you to get annoyed at home, pace around your room a bit and then make a post when your in less of a bad mood as honestly we all want to see something new and improved but its not worth losing friends over.

Just so you know what I,m working on today and that I,m not slacking off its the open nap documentation that seems not to exist in a decent format anywhere, I hope you will appreciate that it wont write itself and enjoy it next week when I post it here with some diagrams for developers and myself to work from.

ts the open nap documentation that seems not to exist in a decent format anywhere

i thought slavanap came with a text file with the entire protocol documented?

heres a link i found with a quick google search http://opennap.sourceforge.net/napster.txt

GhostShip · « **Reply #119 on:** April 28, 2014, 08:22:42 am »

Cheers Stripes but that's pretty useless for me, theres more than one copy about and they are not the same I had to dig around a bit to find the later version that has packet types in that are not in the one you posted, also the simple stuff like logging in is not explained anywhere i had to do some packet captures to confirm how that went, in short I will post up my own documentation with all of the packets and a few maps of whats going on as working from Dr scholls docs leaves a lot of things unclear and most developers need fast and comprehensive information all laid out for them, give me a few days and I think you'll agree what I have put together will blow that old page away in terms of usefulness
