I found a problem with ShareGuard and WCS. With the FancyEntry enabled ShareGuard refuses to work. It will not login or start. Maybe a fix for upcoming b14?

KM · « **Reply #22 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:59:49 pm »

it is mentioned in another thread and the robomx workaround has been enabled for shareguard as well for the next version (in fact i've even gone as far as setting it to downgrade shareguard to the 3.3 protocol as soon as it identifies itself, it has no reason to use the 3.5 protocol anyway)

https://forum.winmxworld.com/index.php?topic=4788.0.html

and the next version probably won't be a b14

(the pre-release i gave to beardy to check something has the version string set to rc1, that may change to b14 before release but it's unlikely... either way 1.8 final isn't far off)

Metis reads the new WCS with no problem at all. I'm running 2.8b1m4 and the newest WCS. Reading all the commands just fine, as usual. Just even easier for server commands now. And as long as you have a bot, you can add your own stuff. I'm adding /addaccess <name> <access> and /remaccess as well, plus the /setcolor thing from FXS. The new WCS is by far the best server. With the room and a bot, your room can pretty much do anything. Infact, I'm slowly replacing all the regular server commands as well. I'll release some scripts as I finish them. You may be interested, may help you figure out how to make a few of your own as well.

new (very minor) glitch found if you use the LogPath= setting on starting the server it also creates a one-line log in the default location this "extra" log logs *only* enabling & disabling Offline mode, both at startup & at every reload of the server config

KM · « **Reply #25 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:36:11 am »

stick it before the Offline= line in the config

Bearded Blunder · « **Reply #26 on:** May 22, 2007, 11:32:20 am »

done & sorted

New bug I think...

Setting a new server name, it only shows to my client as first 2 letters...

/ServerName=HostConsole

results in:

<Ho> test

in the room

be good!

Scyre · « **Reply #28 on:** May 24, 2007, 03:43:16 am »

Update...

set name to 'DifferentName'

and it came out

<Diff> test

changed it again to SHORTNAME and it showed completely

<SHORTNAME> test

? pretty strange.... will try other combos...

Scyre · « **Reply #29 on:** May 24, 2007, 03:51:18 am »

ok, I tested it several times and it appears as long as you use 10 characters or less, it will show correctly... but if you add an 11th character to the server name, it acts batty...

Hope this helps!

Be Good!

Scyre · « **Reply #30 on:** May 24, 2007, 03:55:47 am »

ok not so batty...

at the 11th character, it drops to only showing the first 2...

for each additional character you add, it will show another character.
(12 characters show the first 3, 13 will show 4, etc...)

Again, hope this helps...
btw: using b13

Be Good!

KM · « **Reply #31 on:** May 24, 2007, 04:00:34 am »

that is expected behaviour, it is doing exactly what it is meant to, it trims the name by the amount specified in the config (default 9 chars), except of course where the name is too short to be trimmed, in which case it displays as is

~~James420~~ · « **Reply #32 on:** May 24, 2007, 05:03:36 am »

Yeah, there's a pretty decent bug there. Lol.

I used 123456789123456789 as the server's name. It only showed the first 123456789. Then I tried 123456789ABCDEFG as the server's name and it only showed 1234567 in the room. Get the same results even if you're in bot mode as well. Although, when the server does a server command to you, it'll display the whole name then. But that's the only time it'll show the whole name.

~~James420~~ · « **Reply #33 on:** May 24, 2007, 05:04:45 am »

You can't have it not mess with the server's name?

~~James420~~ · « **Reply #34 on:** May 24, 2007, 05:06:17 am »

Nvm, guess we could always add 000_00000 to the end.

Scyre · « **Reply #35 on:** May 24, 2007, 01:46:06 pm »

ok, instead of a glitch, I will say undocumented requirement for server name...

Bearded Blunder · « **Reply #36 on:** May 24, 2007, 02:42:00 pm »

when ther beta hits public release, there will be documentation.. untl that time can't pick on it.. after all if the documentation states "server name should include id numbers e.g Name123_12345" then nothing will be unexpected, or "undocumented" since during the beta phase the documentation seems to consist of announcements on kingmacro.net & the contents of the threads in this section.. you could consider it now as documented..

*Scyre picks on Bearded's lack of humor, and hires 7 prostitutes to massage the stiffness out of Bearded's logic

KM · « **Reply #38 on:** May 24, 2007, 04:06:45 pm »

what about my stiff logic?

but anyway, that's expected behaviour, if you have your room set to trim names then it trims names - to have the servers name dealt with differently than everyone elses would be an unexpected exception

the only reason you seem to not expect it is purely because the default name is too short to get trimmed (the default is an exception to the normal name handling rules), of course that would be simple to change the default to Server000_00000 in which case nobody would think anything of it...

Scyre · « **Reply #39 on:** May 24, 2007, 08:51:31 pm »

One really neat thing I noticed is that the server name will not show in the list without the numbers, but once I added numbers behind the name, it showed up to my other client as a user...

Don't know if this was intended, but it is a nice feature

Thx for the explaination!

Be Good!
