[DEV]Chat Program

[KruSuPhy]

So...
Yeah. I'm coding a chat program, Using Giakens Chat BASIC.
It's a chance to learn to code VB6 better, and I took it whether anybody approves of it or not =P
But yeah, anyways:

It came with a Set Name feature, chatting, and I started from there.

Features:
Kick (100%)
Register (100%)
Login (100%)
Set Access(100%)
Use of Access (50%)
You have to have a name to chat (100%)
**NEW FOR v2**
Private Chat(50%)

Screenie:


DOWNLOAD:
v1

Sweet. I'm assuming this is closed source?

[KruSuPhy]

Yeah, It's closed source at the moment.
I might release the source in a few versions. maybe.
I plan on releasing v1 as soon as I find out what's wrong with my login code.

[KruSuPhy]

I don't think so.
Giaken told me he coded it himself I think. He was teaching me how to use sockets and shit.

[jsventor]

I remember once I downloaded mirage, deleted ALL of the stuff in it, and made a chat program out of it. It was very easy to do and VERY effective because to add more features was very easy.

[KruSuPhy]

Kewl? o.o
Anyways, This is just a chance for me to learn to code VB6. I'll probably end up making more projects for the same reason =P
Anyways, Uploading v1 here in a bit.

Updates:
REDID Set Access System
Login feature is now 100%!

EDIT:

Released v1

[GIAKEN]

ChatBASIC is something I made from scratch.

[KruSuPhy]

Thought so =P
Anyways. Working on it. Might try to make Multiple Channels.

[KruSuPhy]

bump.
Updated;
Private Chat(80%)

[grimsk8ter11]

Challenge:

Make a component that consists of the chatbox. The component will store the type of chat (public or private) and then the channel name or person in the chat. The send button recognizes this component (use a tab system to switch them or generate new tabs each time, ect.) and sends the chat to the server and makes sure it goes to the right place. And the client can manage all tabs. It would make it a sort of IRC style chat program.

[KruSuPhy]

I don't understand, But you did give me a new idea;
I think I'll put the Private chat in a new tab instead of a whole new form.

[grimsk8ter11]

You can make ActiveX components in VB6. Make an activeX component that fnctions as the tab block for chat, that way when a new chat is opened, it makes a new tab with its own textbox, but they all use the same input box. Read up on ActiveX controls, they can be really helpful and people neglect them.

[KruSuPhy]

Er I suppose I could try that, lol

[ShadowMaster]

After that you can add a voice chat function.

[KruSuPhy]

How about no >.>
I'm not epic enough to even know if that is within the abilities of VB6.

Lol. I'm sure Kru will update this thread once he has made headway on the project or if he decides to let it go.

[KruSuPhy]

Meh. I'm still working on it.
Though, It is going a bit slower, I have so many damn projects I'm working on ATM.
Scripting a bunch of crap for some elysium game my friend is making
Coding like half a site on my own in PHP for my other friend(And I'm not even that great with PHP)
Mapping the third region on PoA with one helper
Plus coding this, lol.
I need to learn to take it one at a time xD

You're not the only one that takes on several projects at once. Lol.

I technically have 6 projects. Lol.

Sword of the Seeker
Blue
Gods Online
Unnamed Project
2 Music projects

We're all pro at multitasking, that's the problem with all of us here at MS.

[KruSuPhy]

=P
Mapping + PHP + VB6 + SadScript
l;
It's harder for me to multitask because I suck at 3 out of four of those projects =|

[Matt]

The unnamed project is currently just a simple source to play around with. I took the MS4 Jacob gave me with his dynamic map system and I'm working on adding byte array packets, then just for the hell of it, I'm gonna convert it to DX8 to see if I like it enough to keep it, since everyone keeps telling me I should. We'll see though.
