MOULa Who's Online

If you add OHBot to your buddy list WhoM will tell you specifically which hood he is in.

Beta 09 works! Thanks Adam.

How will the select a shard pull down get it's list of shards?

It actually already does so

It reads an XML file on my server containing IP Addresses for the shard and the public encryption keys. The connect dialog assigns these values depending on which shard you pick. It's a relatively simple mechanism, so there's no need to write a 5 page long post on it

IF Cyan releases the server code and more shards appear will I as a user add them to my list?

If Cyan releases the servers (code or not) or a fan-made server is released, you will not have to add the server to your own shard list; I will update the master list. The encryption keys will ideally be different from shard to shard (otherwise there goes all of MOUL's security through obscurity), making it somewhat of a pain for the end users to add the shards themselves. There are 3 keys per server type and 3 servers that the client connects to. We only need 2 keys per server (the other one is kept private for security), so if you had to add the shard yourself, you'd have to juggle 6 64-byte encryption keys yourself.

I'll just do it for you, I think

Hi Adam!

I used Beta 09 for some time now and like the recent changes.

However, I had one single crash which I wasn't able to reproduce. It happened after selecting Connect from the File menu and waiting for the Login button to become active:

And unfortunately, the player tree is still not downloaded automatically when I select Disconnect and then Connect again from the File menu. This same issue occurs after WhoM disconnects itself to prevent multiple logins when you start the MOUL client (great feature by the way!); if I let WhoM run until I quit my MOUL session and then select Connect, then the player tree is not downloaded until I select another avatar.

Hey Marck,

Your single crash it a bug that I' m not going to be able to fix. According to the error message, MOUL disconnected you for some strange reason after you said hello. That should never happen (but it did for some reason).

You'll be glad to know that I did fix the bug where the player tree is not redownloaded on a reconnect this time. The bug I fixed before was similar but different. That was my mistake :oops:

The fix was a one-liner: "fActivePlayer = 0;" >.>

Random trivia: When you connect to MOUL, WhoM doesn't actually detect what you have done, the server actually kicks WhoM off with an error that says you logged in somewhere else

. Sanely handling things like that is good though.

I'll be releasing WhoM 1.0 Final soon (maybe tomorrow) with some bug fixes and online list sorting

. Then we can move forward with new major functionality in the 1.1 branch.

AdamJohnso · **Posted:** Sun Apr 11, 2010 5:10 am

This is a really big announcement post.

WhoM 1.0.0 Final is here.

Thanks for all your assistance in beta testing!

Especially those of you who have played MOULa a lot and helped me debug that nasty major crash.

Does this always happen or is it intermittent? Please tell me everything that you did before pressing the login button

As yet, it was a onetime thing. I have it set to autologin, so no interaction whatsoever on my part was involved other than launching it. It started, it waited on the login screen, it crashed. Veni, vidi, vici.

AdamJohnso · **Posted:** Fri Apr 23, 2010 1:44 am

Sometimes, WhoM can fail to connect. Unfortunately, it does not handle these cases very well. This might have been one of them :\. I'll have to make some improvements to the connect window, it seems.

CaptainQuery · **Posted:** Wed May 05, 2010 2:03 pm

This is a handy utility Adam, kudos. I use it all the time to see if my buds are online. I am hoping the latest bahro-gate mess will not close the door to your program.

AdamJohnso · **Posted:** Wed May 05, 2010 7:38 pm

I have a feeling the "security update" will break it, but I'll do my best to have a working version out soon after (if it does break, after all). Maybe with a few extra fixes too

CaptainQuery · **Posted:** Wed May 05, 2010 8:27 pm

Thanks Adam! I appreciate the slippery slope you GoWs walk.
