when apex crashes it creates a exceptioninfo.txt file, well hopefully anyway. :)

Hehe ya... it was kinda weird when I 1st got to look at it, truely the only things we *need* from that script are the regpending commands, which broke when we went from Lua4 to Lua5.1, and The show commands (which is just a way of showing everyone the recently added files ) I think I found a few scripts that should work, is there any you recommend though? Edit:: I assume this means too it's not worth rewriting? edit Two I no longer need teh show command (the add file system).. but if you could tell me how to get the regpending and show regpending commands going only even if it's in a whole new file but basically its a web reg system and we'd really like to have it... umm I know those two broke for sure with the upgrade to 5.1

Can you post the crash log? That'd probably help :)

What sort of things? I have access to at least ptokax software myself and I have YN as well so I could always try looking into it, also there's a few of us who are going to design our own hub server software so any insight in what needs to be done would be cool because we'd like to have that option.

Hmm... interesting idea. Offline messageing would be nice, espeacially for OP's I don't know how many times I come online and I have tech questions or something and the person has gone off line, off line messaging would make this much easier as I could just answer it. Personnally i'd like to see it so that you could do it to any user, though I think that this would not be easy to do. It'd be easy if you constrained it to a single hub, so that you don't have any overlapping user names, but to send it to multiple hubs if there online in others... I dunno if that's as resource efficient enough. Too many variables to ensure that it is infact the same user. Especially since unbinding the favourite users from a hub I think would require quite a major rewrite in Apex code from what I've seen of it so far. However say sending it to a user in a hub... it shouldn't be too hard to write a plug in to keep track of it I think. Overall again I like this idea.

as an op/owner of an hub if I get repeated reports of TTH inconsitantly (cause it can happen once in a while by accident) I look into it immediately, and if the user is found to be leeching he gets banned immediately. I'm sure my hub is not alone in this stance. As leechers and people who cheat the system are a black mark on teh DC++ community and I would honestly not use a client which makes faking easy. I love ApexDC and would hate to see them head down that road (which I know that they won't).

It could also be connection lag. I quite often get the same problem when I'm trying to connect to a hub outside of my campus network. It'll connect, and then after a while it just lags out and disconnects. My suggestion would be to try on a different computer if you could from a differnet connection (or just a different connection if you happen to be using a laptop) and see if it is just lap on your connection part. Also, is it all hubs? or just a picituclar one? if so it could be that that hub is just too far to connect to without large amounts of lag.

I had thought so too but I honestly couldn't see the option...

Ya I can understand that, unfortunately I haven't gotten to learning C++ yet or I'd help, I also understand the code fairly well and would offer to aide if I could, however I'm in the process of mastering Java (I'm a Computer Science Undergrad so I sorta haft to learn in order and don't have much time outside of my course stuff to learn new languages) however next few terms are in C and C++ I believe... So when I get there I'll offer my help if you guys want it still. On a side note as a Hub owner and an OP I'm really excited for this client, and so are many of my fellow Op's on my hub. Most of our users now are switching to Apex . So thanks for a great Client guys.

I believe he meant for your to seed 1st (in a seperate folder) then when your done seeding move it to your Apex Shared folder Though More control over Auto Refresh would be nice sometimes.

ewww activeX *shivers* no I'll be fair I'm not a fan of it or IE myself and would rather not see it in Apex (not that it's really my decision. And as to the activeX thing remember that msn virus link that was sent around a year ago? (granted teh people who clicked on it were sorta stupid to anyway) anyone who was using firefox and clicked it weren't effected because the activeX controls didn't auto DL it like normal IE allowed. People can just not be lazy and open up their proper browser (ie FireFox ) As for lua scripting... gah a scripting language support would be nice but perl or even ugg java would be better I would think. But that's personal issues with Lua Aside scripting could be nice but I fail to see how it's useful outside of the actual hub server?

you mean do TTH search when string is Pasted And 39 Char And CAPS? or Pasted Or 39 Char Or CAPS? I'm pretty sure you mean the 1st one... but I'm just checking 1st one makes Sense and I think would eliminate almost all random input that would be incorrect.

ya... it is pretty bad ex. Windows Crashing on boot... starting.... BLUESCREEN OF DEATH FLASHES WITH ERROR MESSAGE starting,.... ANOTHER FLASH! EDIT: Not that Apex is like that but sometimes a little more detail is nice espeacially when I need to come on here and tell you guys what went wrong starting... it's a bloody infinte loop sometimes and some times you never do fine out what the actual error was :P

no problem really I just don't want to do my java assignment or study for math... though I realize the irony of doing theorical math and not studying for it... but anyways glad to help out EDIT:: Also horrible spelling on my part write == right haha And Greg your location threw me for a loop haha I looked at it and thought you were from Surrey BC Canada 1st hehe which is near my home town haha

well it is write.... just that those are already reserved by the orignal lazy programmers :P

very true, though I'm an odd ball and use the higher ports mainly cause they aren't restricted by my campus uni. haha

quite clearly I was bored and didn't feel like studying for my math midterm anymore

Well you could use the strike through for say users that go offline aswell because I don't know how often I go to reply to someones question that they've pmmed me only to find they've gone offline :D

Now granted I think random chat spam is bad... There are bots avaible to do this. I do not know what hub software you are running either, but Gbot (desgined mainly for a YNhub but may work on others) has a schedualed message system. Now.. this wouldn't deliver in main chat, but in a PM from the bot. Which unless it's spaced out longer then like 30 minutes is rather annoying.. to me anyway.. that being said, a lot depends on your hubs software for a system like that. There is perhaps a way to modify Usercommands in Apex to do it, but I never really looked into it, but it'd be in the SendToAll command etc. This may be an option more suited for the OP client... as I definately would hate having all my users on my own hub having the capablity of spaming chat but I can see partially the usefullness.. though why not just use a mass messageing bot that sends a pm to all online users?

Agreed, Specifically since theres a bunch of selective people who enjoy in writing in caps all the time... if you were gonna do this I'd say use 39 char. as an entry as I believe the chances of someone writing a 39.char entry that is not TTH is extremely unlikely.

believe the point is more this for some U(U = the Universe of numbers) between 0 - 366 where X = a birthday f you were to choose a set such as the Sample set A {1,2,6,345,34,234,345} where A is a set of birthdays then the chances that a new X pulled randomly from the Universe grows exponentially Now follow this if you will... the Universe does allow for repetition as well thus you can have unevenly distributions. so { xE A u U | ((365!/(365^x)((365-x)!} //this x is not X, this.x is number of people so basically (and someone can correct my math if I made an error) the distribution doesn't matter because over any large sets of data where your universe is from 0-366 the probability will = 100%. Therefore your probability for a smaller Universe (Ie where you can account for smaller anomalies such as uneven distrubtions) would be different.. though it still would follow the same curve as the theory represents just the bounds however would your sample set (so from march to sept for example). In that case it would then only make it to 99.9% as you'd have to take in account the lack of data from outside of your set for it to be realistic but within the Unverse of march to sept the theory would still hold true. anyway I've rambled enough now.

Does it not do that already? I know the .698 version of DC can do it... I naturally assumed that apex would do it as well... I'll check it myself in a few mins but someone correct me if they wish ^_^

Agreed just as easy to leave it the auto scroll off because if your following the conv it's not a big deal, but if your not then it just chills where you left it ;)

In the Favs hub menu, there's a box to check when you set a favourite hub up that will emulate it automatically all ready. As for your Verlihub error... well you need to be more specific about that.
