World: r3wp

Graham: is anothersitename one of the worlds you log into?

So, the bug would be that it is showing the wrong world name even 
tho u are in this world?

Carl, yes, anothersitename is another world name .. only happened 
once though.

I wondering for some time now..Why is there NO ALtME-Transport-Protocol 
available?? Is there none or is it simply not yet secure enough to 
give away? Or does it break the ALTME secrets ?...

Its a nice way to let people build plugins...

This will come.

:-)

Is everyone using the new AltME beta 
Shoud I be swithcing to it?

I'm using it on MacOSX and it runs very well, no crashes this far

henrik......cool!  We have some bugs on Mac, but so far we are doing 
pretty well.

there are a few issues though, but this might be related to rebol 
itself, such as no carriage return on pasted strings

Yup.

Well, in fact it sort of "has to be" since it is the same source.

Running the new AltME beta under MacOSX here too. It works great 
for me. :-)

Altme seems to halt more often (dooing nothing) and blanks the screen 
lately (nice white board) ... Using linux version 1.0.2 .

beta ? or alpha ?

We have one guy running OS X in our World. So far so good. This morning 
we saw a message that he wasn't a member but I restarted the World 
and all is well. My thought is that this was caused by my computer 
going to sleep sometime during the night. I get other issues with 
other programs so that's probably it.

PhilB. Links aren't working in OSX version yet and some issues with 
the caret positioning while typing (its offset too far to the right 
for some chars, makes you think you typed  a space when you didn't, 
but elsewise it seems pretty solid.

also something about the window going to the top every time a message 
comes in, even if the setting has been deactivated in preferences

MM i dont see the last messages from yesterday...??? 1.0.2 has real 
strange behaviours... or is it altme server?

Are you saying that you saw something posted yesterday, and today 
it is gone?

Yes... And I think that has something to do with a connection interruption 
on my side... clapping Ethernet ;-) the sync was finished but did 
not show it all.. I had to enter "something" in a group and then 
I synced and showed me the messages...

thør has a message on the REBOL Googlegroup:

<<Could you please set up an account for me? I've been trying to 
get in
for months now, but the guest/guest credentials seem to have been
disabled.>>

Seems a better method for promoting this world and enabling people 
to join is overdue.

Graham, it says AltME version 1.1.25 here under OSX. Not sure, if 
it's an alpha or beta release.

1.1.27 downloaded now ... wonder about changes too ... changelog 
anywhere?

.27 adds file history

thanks

maybe it would be nice to add the download dialog/decision before 
it starts downloading. I know it is fast on most connections, but 
slightly confusing on my GPRS - it seems like app is being blocked 
"checking for updates", while actually it is already downloading 
an update ... just a suggestion ...

Is there a way to create a shorcut to start a world?

I know the -w WORLDNAME to log on a world, but can't find how to 
start a world this way in the doc.

yourpath/altme.exe -s "your world" -p Portnumber

In windows this is placed in the shortcut's target field.

Ok, updates are coming frequently now. It's 1.1.28 under OSX now. 
I couldn't send messages just before, probably because a new version 
was released. After closing and restarting AltME, I can send again. 
:-)

interesting that updates aren't checked until you log onto a world... 
so updates are world specific?

I just had "invalid datatype during recycle" error:-(

oldes, which platform? AFAIK, windows version hasn't been upgraded 
to 1.3.x yet

Was Altme just down for the last  hour or so?

That is, rebol3 world.

seams so :-)

Henrik: windows version (and today i had another one)

Henrik, it's probably updating files specific to each world.

messages ro what ever.

graham, could be

oldes, MacOSX version seems very stable here, so maybe it will help 
once it goes to 1.3 on windows

i hope so, anyway, it's not such a big problem as it's still very 
rare bug. Altme is great. I'm sometimes using other web forums and 
can compare it with Altme - which has much more better approach (as 
I don't need to load huge HTML all the time to just check if someone 
answered my question:)

FYI: When the disk runs full under MacOSX, AltME displays an error: 
"AltME Error: Registry: cannot load dataset files: 2" Perhaps something 
a bit more informative could be done?

Logged.

Altme tells me a new binary's 042 is avaiable (linux).. Wehn i download 
it im unable to execute it afterwards..any hint ?

Does the file have execute flag set?
To get a long list and see flags: ls -l
To set execute flags: chmod +x <file>

(above should be written in a unix shell like bash, of course)

Its downloading 042 it tells me but in the /versions dir there is 
this -> altme1-1-1-4-2

Not an execatuble.. But its has an ELF header... unable to execute 
it in anyway..
