World: r3wp

I just received a response back from support in regards to changing 
the password of a World (not a user). 

AltME world passwords can not be changed in this release.  If it 
could be changed, the user would have to do that.
 

IMHO that should be changed as there may be times where this is necessary.

Right, hence the statement was "in this release."

We will get better and better at this stuff.

I know you will : )  Thanks.

:)

Wargh!  Invalid recycle!

...sorry...

When it rains, it snows

Invalid datatype during recycly, repeatedly, if I go to the chat 
group directly after start of altme. Let's see, if it remains the 
same after this post ...

yes, still so ... now If we had kind of debug mode, to track it down 
....

btw - is altme 1.1.28 based upon latest SDK? (I mean, kernel fixes?)

installed 1.2.5, and it is ok now ....

1.2.5 is based on latest sdk (ie view 1.3), while 1.1.28 is still 
based on view 1.2.

can I install 1.2.5 into my current 1.1.28 install without losing 
any thing ?

i did. but, it's always a good idea to have a backup.

I did so too, everything seems to work ok ...

Same, if something went wrong it was a minor hiccup.

worked just fine :)

is anyone else having their XP altme client "freeze up" after receiving 
a single message?

this started happening to me on one machine yesterday  (after MS 
updates)  
a world server on the same machine continues to work.

No, Altme working OK. But I do have some odd behavior with an rebol 
encap'd .exe running from the shared files in Altme. When I exit 
the program with the windows "X" close button the app's window closes 
but the app stays around as a task.

..that has to shut down in task mgr.

Recently (several weeks ago) we had masive crashes here after a MS 
update on diff computers.

However, AltME seems fine on my two XP laptops (diff designs and 
versions).

james: "When I exit the program...the app's window closes but the 
app stays around as a task"

hmm..does this your encapped program only when running from altme 
or als when you run it 'normally'?

If the second is true maybe you are using in your program something 
like:
view/new layout [...some layout here...]
forever [
	do [...some loop code...]
	wait <some time> 
]


If so the you need to properly handle the event when you closing 
the View window because othervise the window is only closed but the 
FOREVER (or any other) loop is still running. The solution is for 
example put before the "view/new" line:


insert-event-func func [face event][if event/type = 'close [quit] 
return event]


(ofcourse if your app is using multiple windows you need to add some 
more logic to decide which window should QUIT the app and which not 
when using the 'X' close button)

Thanks Cyphre. I believe with this app, this is the case as it is 
able to be launched from another script and then return to that script. 
Good catch. I will fix that. dekuji vám!

:-)

To think I had all those instances running all this time!

What about some easy way how to localize Altme?

I upgraded to 1.2.5 .. and everything turned red on me :(

It really really really needs a way to clear all the reds in one 
hit

weird, I had no problem when I upgraded-did you do a fresh install 
?

Lost password again ...

I just upgraded to the newest whatever (says 1.2.(3) on the splash, 
and 1.2.6 on the window border, on windows), and I had the same problem 
with loosing my password.

Same login name in 2 worlds, I was first in one, and changed to the 
second,  when I switched the worlds dropdown, it seems that the info 
on username and password has not been updated, instead the password 
on the second login has been updated with the password from my "main" 
login.
That's how it looked to me, no guarantee that it's what happened.
WinXP, not installed but "run from this location".

Updated to 1.2.6 automatically - first it said "download failed", 
I could see dialog with started initial download, but suddenly I 
was asked to restart with new update - all wen ok then ...

wen=went

same here.

I think that Cyphre or someone else could be contracted, to improve 
feeling to AltME in a big way - e.g. list-box with available worlds 
is simply awful - typical VID bug - you can't escape it by pressing 
escape, you can't escape it by clicking outside, you can't escape 
it in any way ... that just makes so bad impression here ....

Other thing - after all those years, list style could be updated, 
to allow keyboard scrolling, or even shortcut search of groups ....

I think that small things could make a real difference ... and I 
vote for some button to de-red groups at once :-)

Upgrade here went just fine though I agree with Graham heartily that 
we need they "Kill Red" button badly. I wonder what would happen 
if I read all the files and rewrote them?

is there a list of changes somewhere?

I kind of miss a list of changes in a window, when asking whether 
you want to upgrade

Ahh...just noticed that Altme upgrade wiped my saved userid and passwords 
:(

Upgrade to 1.2.6 seems to have gone fine for me.

I had no problems in upgrading. No lost passwords or anything.

+1 on everything Pekr just said, actually I'd give it at least a 
+10 ;-)

I just got an "Internet Busy..." and was disconnected. Is that new?

same here but I'm using a wireless card in my laptop at a truck stop 
and it show 1.2.8 here

there was indeed another update

one can wonder what the changes are :-)

http://altme.com/new.html<--- oh :-)
