Release Date: 7/27/2004 Files updated: chatbox.exe (864,256 bytes) Bugs fixed: -Server may crash when disconnecting a client The server has the ability to forceably disconnect client connections, but might crash with a run-time error when doing so. When the function would examine the currently connected clients, it would potentially come across a disconnected session and the evaluations on that connection status would trigger this error. -"Don't scroll images in chat windows" setting not applied If a background image is selected for the chat room/private message windows, the option exists to keep the image from scrolling as messages are received. If the checkbox to toggle this setting was checked, it didn't always enforce that change on the currently open windows. -Smiley window image size problems A feature introduced in the previous version would show the smiley in its animated form when you hover the mouse over it in the smiley window. A side effect of this was that it would show the smiley in its full size, which would sometimes exceed the size of the smiley window. Now the window will resize itself to show the images properly. -"Create room" errors might generate more errors When a user attempts to create a chat room, the server validates the name of the room and other user-defined properties, and may potentially deny the request for a variety of reasons. If the request is denied, further commands are accepted for making alterations to that room, which potentially leads to errors. This has been resolved. -Timestamp options window might reset timestamp settings When the user opens the Settings window, the timestamp settings might have been potentially altered, even if the user clicks Cancel. This appears to have been resolved. -Cards don't display on Egyptian Rat Spit I'm still new at working with the display of playing cards, so a bug was identified where the decks of cards would be invisible after the first game of Egyptian Rat Spit. I think I have a good handle on how the function calls work now, so this should be fixed. -Timing problems with card animation for Egyptian Rat Spit If someone attempts to play a card while the card animation is going on, the card will not be displayed when the animation completes. This has been fixed. New features: -You know you're AWAY when... A request was made to have some sort of visual indication to know when you are still set AWAY, so now "[AWAY]" will be displayed on the title bars of the main window and all chat rooms until you set yourself BACK. -Restoring the main window without the main window If the main window is minimized to the system tray and an Windows has some error that causes it to wipe out the icons in the system tray, you'll need some way to get the main window back. There is a menu item on the chat rooms and private messages under "Settings" to restore the main window. -System tray popup menu While the main window is minimized to the system tray, you can now right-click it and have direct access to the chat room and private message menu lists that you'd otherwise have to get to by opening the main window back up. From this new menu you can also exit Chatbox. -Edit hyperlink settings without Notepad From the Settings window you can directly edit the hyperlink detection rules without having to deal with Notepad anymore. You still have to use Notepad to edit scripting settings, but this is a moot point because scripting is disabled in this version. |
