Such a feature would be detrimental to the development of fan storylines, IMHO. It's hard enough already to make people interested in non-Cyan characters; knowing who owns which avatar would make it even harder to create believable and engaging IC events.

Please grow a sense of humor and then come back to this thread. That comment was not serious in any way shape or form.

Now, back on topic with a serious question (and forgive the technofeeb speak, please): Is it possible to use this application without having access to the actual game on a particular computer if I have an account & avatar set up on another computer? For example: let's say I have the game on my home computer, but I would like to access my friends in the cavern on a laptop that's incapable of handling the game or on a work computer where it's not allowed. As long as I have the MOUL account and avatar, can I use this application on a different computer without the game?

That's right Tai'lahr. WhoM only requires a valid MOUL account that has avatar(s) on it and the .NET Framework 3.5, which pretty much everyone running a recent-ish Windows machine will have. All of your data (buddy list, avatars, KI images, etc.) is stored on the server, so WhoM isn't tethered to the computer that you play Uru from.

The "thank you" was evidently humorous, the rest didn't seem quite so, but I'm not a native English speaker. Good to know that it was a joke, for once.

Allright. Next time I won't try and show respect for a discussion you started. By the way, I don't know what thread you've been reading, but my argument was clearly not "destroyed" in any way, therefore I had nothing more to say.

...anyway...

Adam: is it possible to list *everyone* that's currently in the cavern? Kinda like the old "who's online" pages for shards? One use for this could be to get a rough idea of how heavily populated the game is at any moment.

Another use could be to avoid entering the cavern whenever people-opposed-to-fan-created-tools-for-URU are present.

Oops! In that case, my comment was out of line. I know how difficult it is to understand sarcasm and other strange nuances of other languages. I guess this forum has conditioned me to expect stupid :\. I'm sorry for lashing out at you.

I have considered trying to list all the players that are online. In theory, it would be very easy to do. Unfortunately, there appears to be a bug in Cyan's servers (either that or some more security by obscurity) that only allows me to fetch one online player. Still, even one player is enough... I could loop through recent lists forever and discover everyone who is online, but I'm not willing to add that feature to WhoM because of the unnecessary load placed on the server.

A potential solution that I considered was maintaining a master list of who's online and grabbing that from WhoM... I dunno though. We'll see.

Adam, I have your tool installed on several of my computers and it is an awesome time saver when you are looking to see if one or more of your buddies is on. I can't wait for the improvements in your new version. Keep up the good work and I am anticipating great innovations from you and the other writers when we finally go OS.

Another really big announcement post...

WhoM 1.1 Final is Here!
Download here

WhoM 1.1 offers many improvements over the 1.0 release. New features include browsing your KI Mail and viewing the populations of public ages. Also, a lot of the junk in the trunk has been rewired so that the GUI no longer becomes unresponsive after changing tabs or downloading more data from the server. A slightly more complete changelog can be found below.

Code:

Unfortunately, the feature I really wanted to add didn't make it into this release. Maybe next time.

MO:ULa is

It appears this error only happens on a fresh install. The new version runs on my machines but I was using the previous version so there were existing registry entries (logon, password, remember me, etc). I went into my registry and deleted the MUd key and when I attempted to run Ver 1.1 I duplicated the error you were getting. For now the workaround is to run the OLD version of the software and it will create the registry keys (at least it worked for me lol) that will carry over to Ver 1.1. When running the old version be sure to check Remember Me so additional registry key gets created. If you don't have the old version store user name and password, Ver 1.1 still fails when you run it.

I did notice that Ver 1.1 will not auto connect at startup even if that box is checked. I am sure Adam will work out the kinks. Thanks again for your hard work (in between classes) Adam!

Thanks for the bug report guys, I'll get a new version out that fixes those issues and a few others just as soon as I squash them.

WhoM 1.1.1
This release won't require you to run previous versions of the program first . It also fixes a few KI Mail bugs and the autoconnect feature. Let me know if there are any more problems!
