[Smong]

It got archived.

:<
hmm can you tell me the login procedures? (and the other commands ), i know you wrote a java chatnet client.

[Smong]

There is a file called 'simple-chat.txt' in the doc directory. You can get the latest version from sscx.net/asss.

[CypherJF]

needs a fix:
server sends:

MSG:FREQ:name:msg

s/b

MSG:FREQ:freq#:msg

The server does it for you...

[Mine GO BOOM]

The goal was that at some point in the future, you won't get their 'real' freq, and that it would go through a hash so chatters can't say "lol, their private freq is 590". And since that hash would be a one-way street, so instead of having the server remember it, you would instead say "give a team message to Bob's team."

How I'd expect the future hash to work, would be that the server would create a random number, stored in your player array. Then, your name, that random number, and the real freq's number, would go through some hash to output a number between 0 and 32667, then adds 100 to it, so it can never conflict with a public freq.

Grelminar may have a different idea, but this is how I see it being handled in the near future.

or you can just assign priv freqs numbers starting at 10k in the order that they come up in the playerlist... and do that team message to bob's team thing
