INTRODUCTION
=================
JACC ("Just Another ChatNet Client") is a program that enables you, the user, to connect to ASSS ("A Small Subspace Server") that are running the ChatNet module. It act's much like SubChat does for Subgame servers. It was written in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, you will need the MS VB6 Runtime files, which can be located at:

UPGRADE 1.x
=================
I admit my versioning is horrible; but I will try my best to explain how to upgrade accordingly.
1.) Open Config.ini with a text editor such as Notepad, or Wordpad.
2.) Locate "Version=1.0", change to "Version=1.1"
3.) Locate "[User]", change to "[User0]".
^- was the beginning of profile implementation.
4.) Save & Close.
5.) Run JACC.exe

Profiles?
=================
Well, I am still having mixed feelings about making profiles in JACC; however, I have coded in the option to manually allow profiles. To modify (add/remove) a profile, the template of the user section is provided as the [user0] section, in config.ini. Do not modify the config.ini unless you know what you are doing. Remember to have JACC closed before modifying the Config.ini. To select a profile, you select it from the profile list; and hit {enter}, it will "load" the profile into memory. You will be able to save the password via clicking the 'save' button near the password field. |
