ChatRelayBot 2.0, Build 72

Beta Notice

This version of the ChatRelayBot is beta software. There are still issues that may come up in the beta version that could cause data loss [related to the program], and affect the stability of either your system or the program. If you do not wish to test beta-quality and potentially unstable software, you should wait until the ChatRelayBot has been officially released as production-quality software.

Version 1.0

The last version of 1.0, ChatRelayBot 1.042, has officially been dropped and will no longer be available for download. It is recommended that you either participate in the 2.0 open beta, or wait until the production-quality release of version 2.0 becomes available.

Bug Fixes

The following bugs have been resolved in this build:

a) The option to "Relay chat to Bot Controllers and Public Speakers only" did not function if you attempted to enable it. This feature from version 1.0 has been removed from the 2.0 feature set.
b) Using the CRB's normal 1.0-style relay service created a "feedback" effect.
c) The censor list was not saved after exiting and reopening CRB.
d) Starting the ChatRelayBot returned error codes in hexadecimal notation (e.g., $3B is 59).
e) Serious Crash Resolved: If the "%" sign was used alone (e.g.: " % "), the ChatRelayBot would report access violation after access violation. If these errors were not dispersed quickly, and the CRB left alone, the program would eventually die of a stack overflow. It is imperative that all users of ChatRelayBot build 71 immediately upgrade to build 72 once this information becomes public knowledge. This bug also appears in version 1.042. Users of CRB version 1.0 should consider upgrading to version 2.0, as version 1.0 will no longer be updated.
f) The ChatRelayBot will now handle disconnections more appropriately.
g) Action text will now relay to the Bone Network.

New Features/Enhancements

a) The following features and/or enhancements have been introduced in this build:
b) Console Message Throttle Control will control the number of console messages sent per 500 milliseconds (this time can be changed).
c) The Configuration dialog now appears as a standard tabbed dialog.
d) The ChatRelayBot can now join and create password-protected Bone channels.
e) Text can now be selected and copied in the GUI CRB's chat history window.
f) The Chat History window in the GUI CRB will now automatically clear itself after 12KB of text. Previously, this was automatically after 1MB of text. Large amounts of text in the window will tend to lag the application.
g) The CRB's bone connection can now be controlled by the Bone icon on the main application.
h) If the configuration file is missing, the Configuration dialog will automatically pop up.
i) The GUI CRB now has a dialog with user information (double-click a user in the presence list).
j) The CRB now is able to identify when it has disconnected from the Bone network.
k) The CRB will now identify the universe and world it is from when connecting to the Bone Network and joining a channel. For example, if your bot is being run in the main universe and is in AAWR, your bot will identify itself on-join with aw://auth.activeworlds.com:5670/aawr.
l) The CRB's log format has changed to allow identification of an instance of a CRB (related to the Console-Mode version of the CRB to be later released). A viewer ships with the GUI CRB that will read the log.

Note that the documentation included with the program has been changed. The monolithic Word document is no longer being maintained; instead, it is now in HTML format (and available online: http://caesar.homeunix.org/aw/crb-help/). The documentation can be downloaded at http://caesar.homeunix.org/aw/crb-help/Help.zip (107KB).

If you've actually managed to read all the way down here, thanks. :)

If you add new color when bot is online and save it, color.ini will be
deleted and you have only customcolors.txt left, in this file you have this
color
ColorA=FFFFFFFF
ColorB=FFFFFFFF
ColorC=FFFFFFFF
ColorD=FFFFFFFF
ColorE=FFFFFFFF
ColorF=FFFFFFFF
ColorG=FFFFFFFF
ColorH=FFFFFFFF
ColorI=FFFFFFFF
ColorJ=FFFFFFFF
ColorK=FFFFFFFF
ColorL=FFFFFFFF
ColorM=FFFFFFFF
ColorN=FFFFFFFF
ColorO=FFFFFFFF
ColorP=FFFFFFFF

and this was not what I saved

I'm unable to reproduce this. Each time, the color is saved in colors.ini and the file is not deleted.

Customcolors.txt are the custom colors from the color selection dialog.

Option "enabel show avatar name" should be there, so when bot log in, people
can still whisper. and it turn it when it logs out again.

And autolog in, so I don't need to type PPW, this if this kinda bot gonna
run on server, and in somehow server do a restart, so it can log in, without
my help.

For future reference, please review this bug writing guideline before submitting any bugs (this applies to all, not just tengel): http://caesar.homeunix.org/bugzilla/bugwritinghelp.html

Bugs should be submitted via email or posted through Bugzilla. Either place you submit it, please try to make use of the guidelines above, especially regarding reproducibility. Making these reports through the newsgroups should be done sparingly. I'm more likely to notice [and resolve] bugs submitted through Bugzilla/email than through newsgroup posts. As you always should, check the bug list on http://caesar.homeunix.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi before reporting any bugs.

Thanks for participating in the beta, and I still encourage you to submit feedback through the mediums I have asked you to use. :)
