    firebug -- if you do web dev get this!

    add n edit cookies -- again does what it says

    leetkey -- please dont be deswaded by the name of this extention. it can do inline base64, hex, url rot13, binary morse, DES and of corse |337 encoding/decoding. this and source in tab is very good if you are doing anything with soap or saml .

    Tired of visiting the front page and seeing the same news? Well now you can follow development closely by visiting the newly created dev page.

    this is a really nice addition to a site/project which already gives us a lot thanks :D

    the linux version will (hopefully) include all the features available in the regular version - more on this later! :)

    do mine ears decive me, could it be true, finally a decent dc client for linux. Thank you ALL i will happily be the tester for that :)

    2% scored higher (more nerdy), and

    98% scored lower (less nerdy).

    What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

    All hail the monstrous nerd. You are by far the SUPREME NERD GOD!!!

    I really dont think thats a good thing though. I should get out more

    Me too, but pls let me know first is it resource hungry (more or less than Yn Hub)?

    And I suggest to share opinions here. :thumbsup:

    i dont know about resource hungry. but i have just tested it as a client and it is still a bit buggy, not production yet, but worth keeping an i on :). logi could perhaps ansewr questions about the server side aspect.

    ApexDC++ Connection Settings Explained

    This guide as been written to explain and try to give instructions on how to configure the various options contained in the connection settings section of ApexDC++.

    Bind Address.

    This is an Advance user setting. If you are a beginner you can set this to 0.0.0.0. As said above this is normally set to 0.0.0.0 and most users do not want to change this. However If you have two network interfaces you will need to use this option, Set this to the LAN IP which is connected to the internet. ApexDC++ will then only use

    that particular network interface for all connections. If binding fails, it will do so silently and INADDR_ANY will be used instead.

    If you experience connection problems make sure that this is set to default. (default: 0.0.0.0). This feature requires a restart

    Incoming connection settings

    Direct Connections

    This should be used if you computer is connected directly to the Internet. With no firewall. If this is the case you should seriously think about getting a firewall. Sunbelt Kerio personal firewall is a good free software firewalls.

    Firewall with UPnP (WinXP+ Only)

    Windows XP is the first Microsoft operating system to support UPnP. This option is therefore disabled for operating systems before this. Universal Plug And Play (UPnP) is a technology to allow, among other things, Internet applications to configure home routers and gateways, bypassing the need to perform manual port forwarding.

    To take advantage of UPnP, you must have support enabled in Windows and UPnP capable hardware (typically a broadband router using NAT traversal). If you meet both of these requirements you should enable this setting (requires restart). If your UPnP system is setup correctly, ApexDC++ will now automatically create the required port mappings for ApexDC++ to operate in Active Mode.

    Please see the following page for more information on UPnP and how to enable it

    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/s...d_02july22.mspx

    Firewall with manual port forwarding.

    Select this mode if you are behind a firewall/router. You will need to specify the external IP address of your router. Alternatively you could use the Get IP Address button. For ApexDC++ to work properly in this mode, it requires access on TCP and UDP listening ports, as well as outgoing access on all ports for both TCP and UDP. First you need to set up your router to forward ApexDC++ connections to the computer which has ApexDC++ running. This process is normally called Port mapping/redirecting/forwarding or something like that. The following page has examples of how to perform port forwarding with many different routers port forwarding

    You need to forward two ports, one TCP and one UDP (the TLS port can be ignored), these can be the same port number. Select your Port(s) numbers between 1024 – 6000 (any port is valid. However for performance reasons it is recommended that on windows box this should be between 1000 & 6000) theses should mostly all be free. Make sure both UDP and TCP is being forwarded. To ensure everything is set up correctly please use the check settings button unfortunately this is not always correct. The best way to test is to just do something. To test that UDP is working perform a search (use something common like film), if you receive

    results udp forwarding is working. if you can download one of the results then tcp forwarding is working, i generally try to get a file list as this is small and normally doesn't need you to queue.

    For information on the TLS port please see this guide

    Don't allow hub/UPnP to override.

    This option dose exactly what it says on the tin. i.e. If enabled ApexDC++ will only use the settings which you have entered. If this is not enabled your UPnP device can/will change these settings dynamically to try and attempt to get the best performance.

    Update IP on Startup.

    Again this one is pretty self explanatory. if this is enabled the Get IP Address button is press when apex is started/run

    Firewall (passive, last resort)

    Select this mode if none of the previous options apply or work. This mode carries some limitations:

    • only 5 results per user will be returned in response to searches

    • you will not be able to download from other passive users

    For best performance you should try to enable Active mode with one of the methods above.

    Outgoing connection settings

    Direct Connection

    If you are not using a socks 5 proxy or do not know what one is you should choose this setting.

    SOCKS5

    Select this mode if you want to make outbound connections through a SOCKS proxy. The caveats for Firewall (passive) mode also apply here. SOCKS5 proxies are not the same as HTTP proxies. ApexDC++'s SOCKS5 support does not include GSSAPI.

    Socks IP

    This is the IP, not host name, of your SOCKS5 server.

    Port

    The port that your SOCKS5 server runs on. The default is 1080.

    Login

    Login name for the SOCKS5 proxy; may be required.

    Password

    Password for the SOCKS5 proxy; may be required.

    Use SOCKS5 server to resolve host names

    Enable this to use the SOCKS5 proxy, instead of the local name server, to resolve host names.

    i got few out from it:

    - animated gif emotes (won't happen)

    - chat msg formatting, bold/underline/italic & font (i'd like this personally, but not up for it though)

    - perm ignorelists (look at beta forum :))

    - tray message as balloon popup, if i got it right

    - clock based away messages, if i got it right

    good work :thumbsup:

    i think that its such a daunting thing to look at with so many ideas, i probably just gave up mentally :)

    true lot's of effort is put in saying things in lot more complicated way....

    as to me that looks some sort feature graph, and it's not too clear one :)

    Again i completly agree i dont think i managed to get any feture request from this. i did email the user the link to this thread. i had hoped that he might come, post and possibly explain some of the requests :thumbsup: :)

    ok, but i'm trying to avoid MFC, as DC++ isn't mfc project and i don't want to make apexdc use mfc either (mostly because i not good with MFC :thumbsup:)

    what library does peerweb/strondc/apex use

  23. Posted

    apparantly Programming Language : C, Visual Basic

    (seems like an odd couple to me :D )

    source:http://sourceforge.net/projects/xchat

    Just had a quick look at the source and it looks like it is all in C, also it use's GTK library (what does peerweb/strondc/apex use i have always asumed it was MFC) so it may not be compatible. however it shouldn't be to dificult to achive in MFC i think you can just have a function to draw a cpen line at the bottom of main chat window. well my 2p dont know if it is that simple, havn't looked at the code but it would undoubtably mean that this would need to be a chat entry object (or simlar) so that it would scroll correctly, and this means extending a base class. well im starting to woffal now so im going to stop :)

    *bump*

    Well XChat supports it and I must be missing something because I can't actually see what language it is coded in anywhere on the site, but it may well be C++.

    yes, if you tick the aprropiate boxes in settings.

    M

    yes you have to enable logging. i believ its of by default. Therefore any functionality that realies on it existing could potentioly crash the app and then were going round in circles :D
