1) Make the plugin use a pop-up message box; 2) Make a client for this; 3) majority rule with minority rights; 4) Automated tech support for bots; 5) Ability to connect without being connected to Battle.Net

1. The client is sufficient enough.
2. I have already done so. See the stickied topic.
3. That's if I did not make a client. I would then have to implement forms.
4. Explain more.
5. This is possible. You just do /vn connect without actually connecting to battle.net.

4) Have a stand alone client that is for tech supporting Fail Bots/Stealth Bots/Fool Ops etc (Basic trouble shooting) that can be loaded by anyone (LIMIT ONE). Seeing as THIS computer (which is mine and Shadow's) is on almost 24/7, we could load that client.

5) It doesn't connect on the beta. It wants to send it to battle net first.

DoBeep when the VectorNet client is not currently focused and a new VectorNet message is received.

I'm adding in moderation abilities right now (/ban and /kick so far).

I will get to the other abilities later, like /makemod and stuff like that.

/ban and /kick work.

I can't, for some reason, get it to update with a new compile, but it works from within VB6.....

I will see what I can do about updating it.

Sweetness.... Keep up the GOOD work lol

Edit: The server and host client crash NF's connection (proxies/sometimes all) to battle net. I noticed it, but didn't say anything until I was sure.

~Bump~
Channels: Channels, Password protect channels, Silent channel (like The Void on Battle Net), A user can become a Temp Op if he/she is only user in channel
Moderation: Timeban, Admins view IPs, Admins can make Mods and Channel specific operators, Operators (Can kick, but not ban and cannot view IPs)
Features: Name Coloring (Admins, Moderators, Operators (Customized per VNClient)) and friends list (For authorization based on IP, but the IP isnt shown, only the current username)

Fix the Ctrl + X glitch where you can highlight text and cut it.

Highlight glitch fixed. Working on channels. I already have /makemod and /makeadmin from the console. For some reason, when an authorized user uses /kick or /ban, it disconnects everyone else.

I will work on all of those that you mentioned, but I will get channeling to work first before I attempt to make password-protected, etc. I don't like the idea of password-protected, though. Instead, I'll have authorized channels and such. Things like "warez", or "backstage" on battle.net.

Server and Channel Ban/Kick

/ban <user> [--serv/--server]
/kick <user> [--serv/--server]

If I want to do this, I'll add it. Looks good.

Most of these suggestions might have already been suggested but i will edit this post as new ideas roll through as always lmao.

1) Multiple tabbed chat rooms for more than 1 instance of chatting.

2) More commands on the toolbar such as "Settings" - "Profiles" etc..

3) Better look & feel of the layout for VectorNet "No offense!" <1337!!

4) Possibly giving VN the feature to use IRC protocol etc.. for IRC Chat enviroments.

5) About VN form, to explain what the application stands for and does "also including": people who helped with VN etc.

6) Help menu for quick and easy questions, faqs or Problem Solvers.

7) Possibly a live tech tool for the VN "Built in" not saying like "VNC" or "TeamViewer" just a quick helper tool.

Fix up your topic for VN "Protocol" to give users the ability of quick and easy built Chat systems that bind with VN.

9) Better Chat handling such as, "Fixing the Click or Boink as John likes to call it" when you send a Message.

-Jd

1) Uh... flood much? Unless you are talking about different servers, then yes.
2) Hrm, thatd be nice...... only viable if server authentication is being used
3) Its free, what do you expect? Yes it does need a better look...... maybe customization?
4) also aim/msn/yahoo etc IF POSSIBLE
5) Uh he means a Help --> About Popup. Yeah, I agree, it should have one.
6) Agreed.
7) Problem checker?

I dont think that is visible to users...... I havent really looked at it anyways.
9) Agreed.... and ROFL!!!!!!

Prevent "Nullstrings" from being sent ><
Add flooding out
Add idle bot like in BTS @ West (Only sends messages or gives current computer time)
Winamp and Windows media player controls or menu?
More to come!

I am rebuffing both the client interface, and, maybe, how the server handles mods / admins in the userlist.

The client will start in the chat form, and will have a separate options form for the server, etc. It will remember the last server used, so you don't have to put it in everytime. This will prevent the main form from disappearing when the server is not up.
