[!AltME] Discussion about AltME

In a world as large as this one, perhaps there should be a way to 
quickly view Group information such as descriptions.  Maybe even 
the ability to search the groups to see if a group relevant to your 
next post exists or if you should create a new group for the post.

what about a smaller planet, like Mars?

Yeah, we are playing with something like that.

Such a feature would likely be quite usefull there as well...

Does AltME have a DCC file-send type of thing?
Pekr

no
maybe upcoming major update will have, but that is question for Reichart 
to answer. If I understand it correctly, it will feature ability 
to extend AltME with other apps ...

We have no current plan of support DCC.  We do have a plan of supporting 
file share on AltME, and already do on Qtask.

Please put the SDK group under the REBOL divider.

Ugh
I want to use Worldmaster dividers with some slight changes... SO, 
a way to choose Worldmaster dividers, then edit them for a custom 
one, would be nice
BrianW

choose custom dividers, but start with a clone of Worldmaster?
Just trying to think of another way to phrase it :-)
Ammon

Aye, I'm fairly certain that that is what the Depot folder is about 
and they are going to be giving us info on it soon...

SDK moved.

AltME focus grabbled them...

I spent a few clock cycles on them thinking it was some puzzle.  
then something else shiny caught my attention.

Yep Brian, that's it.


I'm gonna try something.. I was looking around the AltMe folders, 
and found a file that looked like all it contained were dividers. 
 I'll copy AltMe to a new folder (backup) and copy the Worldmaster 
one over my Custom on
Well, AltMe didn't error, but it didn't change any dividers, either.. 
 oh well

your welcome to mess with AltME's folders....but don't cry when something 
odd happens.
We plan to clean it up, and write a paper that explains it all, for 
example, you can actually dump all your grpahics, and then replace 
them all.
Skinning AltME is actaully pretty easy.  But not fully tested.

I got another request that I think will be cool.  Add a private option 
to the calendar so that it can be run in a local mode so that the 
data isn't shared.  I would think it would be easy to add it since 
the calendar is already created.
Also, any chance of getting a standalone version of that Calendar 
:-)

assumming the next version of alrme allows multiple worlds open, 
I would like to be able to set which (if any) notifies you when it 
gets a message posted.

Reichart, I made two copies of the AltME folder just in case something 
did mess up  ^.-

Paul, both are planned for the future AltME.
Tomc, yup, planned.
Izkata............ :)
note: I don't tell you guys what is planned to annoy you, just in 
case it was taken that way, I just try to give you feedback so you 
know a) I'm listening, b) if we don't have it to add it to feedbackl.

just out of curiousity... assuming skinning is supported..

is it skinning on a world-by-world basis?
[unknown: 9]
10-Mar-2005
[426]
no, you can skin your own view.
Anton

prefs/prefs.txt, in the main altme dir, contains an entry "skin-dir: 
none"
So it looks like it applies globally.

Has anyone had any problems with getting Altme working thru a proxy?

I go out of town once a month, and have to use a squid proxy.  I 
can get IE, Firefox, and one of my own rebol apps to work thru the 
proxy, but not AltME.
[unknown: 9]
14-Mar-2005
[430]
Have you filed in all the proxy settings?  I'll assume so............perhaps 
you can send me all your settings so we can try to figure out why 
it might not work.
Graham
14-Mar-2005
[431x2]
Yes, I did.  And when I close Altme down, and restart it, the settings 
are always corrupted.
There's no way to set the gateway in the proxy settings .. is that 
important ?
[unknown: 9]

could be.
Graham
14-Mar-2005
[434]
I just checked my own implementation .. I don't set the gateway and 
it works fine.

Proxies are one of those things where every company has a slightly 
different way of  getting bent out of shape about some format, so 
we figured we would test for one path, and then leanr what everyone 
else complained about.

I've got squid set up at home .. I'll try it on that first.
[unknown: 9]
14-Mar-2005
[437]
but the data gets munged.  That isnot good.
Graham

the squid setup at home is just to control the kids' internet access.
I get the proxy ip address, type and port appear on the proxy server 
field.
