[!AltME] Discussion about AltME
older newer | first last |
Reichart 24-May-2009 [3598] | Hmmm, interesting... Well, I'm not sure, but would also be interested in a proof of max.... |
Graham 24-May-2009 [3599] | well, need 1000 pcs with altme |
Reichart 24-May-2009 [3600] | Yup...or 51... : ) |
Maxim 24-May-2009 [3601] | can launch several altme on the same client, if they are differnt worlds or user installs, I think there is not issues. |
Graham 24-May-2009 [3602x2] | one user can login under the same nick more than once .. true |
ok, just need one PC with 1000 altme's running then. | |
Robert 25-May-2009 [3604] | I sometimes have a redraw problem on OSX. Anyone else having the same effect? |
Chris 25-May-2009 [3605] | Yes, specifically when I inadvertantly maximize or minimize the window. |
Henrik 25-May-2009 [3606] | This is always the case for non-cocoa programs, it seems. |
Maxim 25-May-2009 [3607] | probably just a question of having to refresh some object to allow bigger rasters when window resizes. |
Graham 25-May-2009 [3608x2] | If anyone wants to play with IRC in a safe environment, they can connect to my experimental server at www.compkarori.co.nz |
you can use Oldes' Rebol client as listed above | |
Paul 25-May-2009 [3610x2] | Did you get the bot features so that it logs yet? |
ahhh web-public again. | |
Graham 25-May-2009 [3612x2] | not yet ... |
I don't know the commands or whether I need to install some module | |
amacleod 25-May-2009 [3614x2] | Should I take this 50 user limit myth seriously? I was going to use Altme for chat for a large group that could easily have hundreds online at onetime. |
And is it an Altme problem or rebol based...Graham, does Synapse chat have the same limit? | |
Graham 25-May-2009 [3616] | how many users were you thinking of having online concurrently? |
Sunanda 26-May-2009 [3617] | Carl wrote (jan-2005): <AltME is great for private messaging in small (<100) closed groups.> http://www.rebol.com/article/0089.html |
amacleod 26-May-2009 [3618] | It could be well above the 50 limit. Maybe 100-200 |
Maxim 26-May-2009 [3619] | actually, its easy to figure out if rebol really has a 50 connection limit, just open a listener port and call a one line connection rebol script more than 50 times. |
Graham 26-May-2009 [3620x4] | I guess no one has ever got round to stressing it. |
there's about 10 users logged in here at present .. and the lag time is significant | |
but could be just internet routing | |
I never saw more than 15 users online with IOS messenger | |
Maxim 26-May-2009 [3624x2] | I've never traced user count to lag. |
we've been two and it was 10 sec lag, and 15-20 and 1 sec lag. | |
Graham 26-May-2009 [3626x3] | inverse relationship? |
lol | |
anyway, someone should do some testing to see what the limits are for concurrent viable connections for a rebol based chat server | |
Maxim 26-May-2009 [3629] | hum... wouldn't you, like, be the best person to do those tests ;-) |
Graham 26-May-2009 [3630x3] | Lots of people could do it. |
Max ... you got disco'd !!! | |
we found the limit. | |
Maxim 26-May-2009 [3633x2] | hahahaha |
I actually pressed the close button by accident ;-) | |
Graham 26-May-2009 [3635] | awwww.... |
Maxim 26-May-2009 [3636] | but don't you actually have a chat server software against which you can implement a client-side test connection loop? ;-D |
Graham 26-May-2009 [3637x2] | Yes. |
but it uses BEER so it might reach a BEER limitation | |
Maxim 26-May-2009 [3639] | well if we can reach 100 connections to beer.. we definitely will have a party (or a brawl) ;-) |
Graham 26-May-2009 [3640] | well, the source is there .. just modify it to login automatically and start sending serial numbers to see if they are returned. |
sqlab 26-May-2009 [3641] | If I remember right, once I had around 250 or 127 connections at the same time. Don't remember the right number, just that I thought, that's the limit to one port number. |
amacleod 26-May-2009 [3642] | What happens if the limit is exceeded? Does the whole thing fail or does it just refuse the connection to the those beyond limit? |
Maxim 26-May-2009 [3643] | it melts your computer and spams alll the people in your contact list ;-) |
ddharing 26-May-2009 [3644x2] | Some have asked questions in the past about the file size limit in AltMe. It appears to be 6 megs. |
It's disappointingly small. I wonder if there is a technical reason. | |
Brock 26-May-2009 [3646] | I think it was more a practical reason so users of dial-up or slower connections weren't forced to sit through extremely long downloads. I thought this limit was adjustable per AltME server, but I haven't been able to find a setting, so maybe I was wrong. |
ddharing 26-May-2009 [3647] | If that is the case then I wonder if there is also a limit to the number of files per world; otherwise, it was not a well thought out limitation because 100, 6-megs files is still a lot of waiting on slow connections. |
