Subject: RE: [Wintin-discuss] Recent Activity?

There has been some work being done on Wintin, here's a current list of changes I've made that are just about ready for distribution...

1 Changed the number of available panels (#panel command) to 4.
2 Added on/off arguments to #presub toggle
3 change #apptitle so that it doesn't alter the titles in window 1-9
4 Changed the icon
5 changed the #sound & #music command to accept {} around file names
6 changed #sound & #music command to look in the msp_dir defined directory
7 changed #sound & #music so that it doesn't play anything if the file isn't found
8 added an error message showing what file name was looked for in the music and sound commands if they can't be found
9 changed the tintin_puts commands so that they take a variable number of args - this isn't visible to end users - only poor smucks poking around in the code. 10 modified #showme command so that text can be sent to any of the windows - syntax is #showme {?} {text} where ? is the window number
11 added on/off arguments to #echo toggle
12 added on/off arguments to #speedwalk toggle
13 added on/off arguments to #ignore toggle
14 created windows interface to #message commands
15 created windows interface to #presub command
16 added an on/off switch (and windows interface) for the system command. ] 17 New connect dialog list with some nice features.
a. it retains more than 1 connection
b. it has a built in configuration file associated with each connection
c. you can double click on a connection to connect
18 Added #event command
a. Format: #event {seconds between each command} {command}
b. example: #event {10} {look}
c. Result: every ten seconds the command 'look' will be issued to the mud
d. limitations: #event is only valid in active sessions - it can't be used to re-establish connections. I haven't put in code to allow variables to be put into the left side, I think this will end up being pretty important and will most likely add that very soon. 19 Added #unevent command
- to be used like all of the #un... commands
20 Added #delay command
a. Format: #delay {number of seconds} {command}
b. example: #event {5} {buy $numbread bread}
c. result: after 5 seconds issue the command buy $numbread bread
d. limitations: same as event
21 Added #undelay command.
- to be used like all of the other #un commands
22 Added new options for #ignore command (#ignore actions on/off, #ignore events on/off. #ignore on/off still works) 23 new items on the tool bar
a. command file save/load
b. connect/disconnect
c. switch dialog access button
d. definition button
e. sound commands button.
24 some loop bugs have been solved - the code now correctly tells the difference between #loop {$TEST1}{command} and #loop {$TEST2} {command} and uses the correct $TEST1 or $TEST2 variable.

I'm looking for some brave souls to beta test the changes.

Please drop me a line if you are interested in trying out the new code.

Chris.

I've sent an email to wintin-discuss-admin@lists.sourceforge.net to recieve a copy of his beta version of Wintin 95 but, I have yet to recieve a reply. Does he have a link to where the new version can be downloaded and/or another email address to where he can be reached?

He told me that he wanted to do some more testing before uploading it to the site.

Hrm ... Im confused now. I tought that Wintin.net was an upgrade of Wintin95, and that all developing of Wintin was going to be headed to Wintin.net now. Now, a new version of Wintin95 show up. It means that, from now, there are going to be two different versions of Wintin? Or ... *shrug*

These are great changes, you won't find me complaining. This fixes a few glaring holes in wintin95 and adds a little more completeness to an old well used client. Smile

Now if only #highlight would send things to other windows with their original colors... Wink

Just to explain whats going on, I'm not planning to do any more development of Wintin 95, but the code is publicly available and I'll certainly do what I can to support anyone else in enhancing and supporting it, as Chris has done.

I'm sorry to mention that the statement that wintin 95 is a complete port of tintin++ is no longer correct =]

wow..almost been a year since all this was said and still no update?

Might be worth mailing Chris directly at mamet@adelphia.net, maybe he isn't monitoring this forum.
