[!AltME] Discussion about AltME

Robert 30-Jan-2008 [2750] | Ports: Hi, I want to setup AltME in a way that it connects to a local port-forwarding proxy which than tunnels the connections. What local ports does AltME use? And what are the remote IPs / Ports I need to use? |
Tomc 30-Jan-2008 [2751] | robert I think whatever you tried broke safeworld ;^) |
Henrik 30-Jan-2008 [2752] | it may have been a DNS problem, because I was connected to the r3 world the whole time and could send messages just fine. of course it's no fun if there is no one to respond. :-) |
Tomc 30-Jan-2008 [2753] | I know ....just razzing |
Gregg 30-Jan-2008 [2754] | I think 5400 is the main port. |
Pekr 30-Jan-2008 [2755] | Robert - http://www.altme.com/guide/advanced.html#sect0.7. |
btiffin 30-Jan-2008 [2756] | Robert, no docs but check worlds/rebol3/config.txt and prefs/prefs.txt |
Graham 30-Jan-2008 [2757] | If the lookup server dies, then no one can reconnect to a world anywhere. This is how Altme controls access. |
Gregg 31-Jan-2008 [2758] | Is everyone else able to see their own worlds now? I can see RT worlds, but not my own, even one I start locally. The test page on the AltMe site says they should be reachable. |
btiffin 31-Jan-2008 [2759] | I'm still getting exists but not on-line. |
Gregg 31-Jan-2008 [2760] | I guess nobody else here is running their own worlds. |
Pekr 31-Jan-2008 [2761] | I will by trying to start one on Saturday ... |
Brock 31-Jan-2008 [2762] | the one world I have been running was no longer activated. Same problem I've always had with AltME. The world name is not payed for so therefore after inactivity would be released to be reused by others. However, it is accessed daily, but still get's released every once in a while. I can now access it after re-registering it. |
Reichart 31-Jan-2008 [2763] | We are tracking these down. |
Gregg 31-Jan-2008 [2764x2] | I got it back up. I have shortcuts that use the command line options to start the worlds. That doesn't work. I had to go into the UI and choose Start a World, then I could see them again. |
Just figured it out two minutes ago. | |
Reichart 31-Jan-2008 [2766] | To confirm, you are saying that to start a world, you "had to click on" [Start a World]? |
Gregg 31-Jan-2008 [2767x2] | They would start on the server just fine from the shortcut, but I couldn't connect to them until I did that. |
So everything looked good. Even the AltMe test page said they were reachable. But the AltMe client couldn't see them. | |
Robert 1-Feb-2008 [2769x2] | I read the docs. But the port 5400-5409 are outgoing ports. So no problem to tunnel them. But than AltME gets back via port 5500. But AltME directly contacts to my system, not using the tunnel. |
I tried to use a SOCKS proxy for dynamic tunneling but AltME doesn't seem to have SOCKS support done right or at all. | |
Brock 1-Feb-2008 [2771] | My understanding is it uses port 5500 to check the world server and 5400-5409 are dedicated for your world addresses, incoming and outgoing. The AltME client itself simply uses your default internet ports, 80, 8080. |
Pekr 1-Feb-2008 [2772x3] | 5400 is incoming port IIRC |
5500 is for World lookup - outgoing. 5400 is incoming port, when you run your own worlds. 5400 - 5400 is vaguely described. But maybe it is because most ISPs don't block outgoing connections at all. | |
In order to run your own world, you need to DST-NAT (forward) particular incoming port to your machine. | |
Tomc 1-Feb-2008 [2775] | Gregg : I run my own world ...I just never log off of that one. |
Robert 2-Feb-2008 [2776] | It's not about running my own world. It's about connection to worlds. The thing is that this port 5500 seems to be an incoming port. And this one is routed wrong. |
Henrik 11-Feb-2008 [2777] | would be nice to allow opening groups in separate windows. |
BrianH 11-Feb-2008 [2778] | Or at least tabs. |
Henrik 11-Feb-2008 [2779] | we talked a little bit about subgroups in the r3-alpha world: a group that holds subgroups, for particularly shortlived topics, like an event (last nights episode of XYZ TV show) or for short discussions of questions. this avoids mashing separate subtopics into one group and they wouldn't scroll out of view as quickly. |
BrianH 11-Feb-2008 [2780] | The alternative suggested was threaded discussions. |
[unknown: 5] 11-Feb-2008 [2781] | Maybe make optional expirable groups that way if a post doesn't take place for some time in a respective expirable group that group will expire and clean itself up. |
Henrik 11-Feb-2008 [2782] | I wouldn't want the material to disappear, but if it could be very compacted, perhaps. |
Henrik 23-Feb-2008 [2783x2] | it would be nice to see a list of files that you are about to download in the file sharing module. there's nothing useful about seeing dialogs with "There are 5 files to download.". |
and apparently multiline messages don't work on this machine. strange. | |
Robert 24-Feb-2008 [2785] | I try again. Someone mentioned he got AltME run through a proxy. I still failed with support from programs like Proxifier etc. But please note that I tunnel all the traffic through SSH as well. |
Pekr 24-Feb-2008 [2786] | wouldn't it be best to contact Reichart privately, and ask him, if the fix would be possible? Maybe there is some little bug somewhere, which would not take long to fix? |
Reichart 24-Feb-2008 [2787] | Best to send something believed to be a bug to Feedback...since then it is queued. |
[unknown: 5] 24-Feb-2008 [2788] | Does the folder sharing features work yet in Altme? I never have seen any shared out folders so was just wondering. |
Brock 24-Feb-2008 [2789] | Paul, I believe it is just a limitation of this World. I have file sharing available on a personal world that I maintain. |
Reichart 25-Feb-2008 [2790] | Yup... |
Henrik 25-Feb-2008 [2791] | does AltME store information about window maximization somewhere? I have an annoying problem under OSX Leopard, when I switch my macbook between the internal 1280x800 screen and my external 1680x1050 screen where AltME sometimes decides that the window should be maximized at all times. When resizing the window, the content will be resized, but the window itself fills out the entire screen except for the menu and the dock. It does not fix itself until after a reboot, so I don't know if it's a bug in AltME or Leopard. |
[unknown: 5] 25-Feb-2008 [2792] | Thanks Brock. |
Geomol 25-Feb-2008 [2793] | Henrik, altme/prefs/window on disk. |
Reichart 26-Feb-2008 [2794] | Thanks John... |
Louis 6-Mar-2008 [2795] | What are the maximum amount of users that AltME can handle? |
Gregg 6-Mar-2008 [2796x2] | I don't think there's a hard limit. |
It would be a combination of the number of users, number of messages, bandwidth, and server resources. | |
Geomol 6-Mar-2008 [2798] | Louis, if you look in the file "users.set" under a AltME world, the user number is an integer, so I guess with current implementation, max is 2'147'483'647. |
Louis 6-Mar-2008 [2799] | Is that all? |
