I was just wondering if there was anyway ASSS's chatnet protocol could support sound and the sendfile feature. There has to be a way to implement the sendfile. Just download the bytes and name it w/e the filename was that was sent. The sound would be easier. Just send the soundcode if one exists and have a folder with sound files in it. I think that would make chatnet a little cooler.

One thing I did notice is that in HyperSpace SEND:PUB and SEND:CMD can both be used to send commands. I noticed this because in my dev zone I had to add an if statement for input starting with "?" but I did not add an Else If for regular messages. In my zone, it only notices the SEND:CMD. In hyperspace it notices both. Not really a big deal.

Features that would be nice:
Sound
Sendfile
News downloading (usually contains rules)

Maybe make it, FILE:news.txt sent to server and server sends it back and creates a news.txt. Is that too much for a chat client? I just think it would be cool. I'll see what I can whip up, but I'm so used to Java so I may need help.

Chatnet to chatnet file transfers would be possible without any modification on the server, simply have chatnet clients agree upon a common protocol for the transfer. Something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Client-to-Client. This is P2P so it would not cause any inconvenience to the server. However one side has to upon up a port.

I was thinking maybe something like http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/blog/2004/november/15.html.

Just retrieve a file over a TCP connection. Looks easy enough.
