The APB server has something similar to this in the ranks page at http://www.w3dhub.com/ranks/apb/ I agree that it would be a good thing to show on the side of the main webpage tab or even the forum sidebar if possible.

Welcome Sonic, glad you decided to drop in. Indeed the more the merrier.

Hide better.

This thing is great! And if everyone that downloads it leaves it running like I have the last few hours, then it becomes easy to see when games start to pick up. This has also made me want to join as there are 8 people in game at time of this post! Great job silverlight!

Correction to my above post (I was slightly misinformed): We have made progress on it, and it is working for most users currently. But if you are a new user who joined after somewhere around the last week of January of this year, you may not be able to login. The login function is primarily for staff and testers though, so you really don't gain much by logging in as a normal user. But we are working to get the issue corrected, and we will make it known when it is done. Also, welcome to W3D-Hub!

I agree, mostly for the sake of consistency from one map to another (the confusion for newbies). But as you said, the other reasons it was done to begin with have been mitigated pretty well now so I don't think it would harm the balance at all either. Do eet

Haha alright. Man I remember the early beta days when we would team up. Good times

Wait....Razim has been here the whole time under a different name??

Hey there's an old name. Welcome back bud!

Whaaaaa!? Why did it stop? That sounds really cool!

Hey man, these sound good! Also thanks for speaking up, I was beginning to wonder if you were still around EDIT: Also, what game was this for? It almost has a Tron or Blade Runner vibe, or otherwise just cyberpunk in general.

Update! No visual changes, just a handful small bug fixes, as well as a few bug discoveries. Fixed bug where adding a new game or editing the .exe associated with an existing game could sometimes activate a Microsoft OneDrive window......long story..... (dialog.AutoUpgradeEnabled = False) for any interested programmers. Fixed bug where "Save" buttons on secondary forms were disabled by default when editing a server or game profile, until you change the contents of a field. Fixed bug where editing the game for the selected profile would clear the server profile box (it should not) Fixed bug where adding a new game would not clear the server profile box if a profile was already selected (it should) Known bugs: Deleting a game will automatically save the first game in the list as the "last game used", to be restored on next launch if the program is then closed without launching a game. This causes some field-checking code to false-trigger and causes weird results (all fields are blank except for the game). Games can be deleted even if there is a saved profile that uses that game, which results in a broken profile. New Games and Profiles may be saved with identical names to existing saved ones, creating identical copies in every sense except the coded index number. EDIT: Field focus is not reset on secondary forms between multiple calls (fixed in next version). Thats it! Download: [Old version removed]

NoSoldier is correct, you must use your forum login credentials exactly as they are used on the forum itself, case sensitive. Also in the future, please post questions like this in our help forum so that we can recognize it quicker and get you help quicker! (I went ahead and moved it to the proper forum) Let us know if you have any more questions or issues, and also welcome to W3D-Hub!

Pretty sure thats supposed to be automagic though. It would not surprise me in the least if something broke it recently.

> Ark of the Covenant.

They make other forums??

Nah, just put it back to the 9 or so updates it was going to be before we lost pushing for a while. That way we can read it easier, and it better gives the illusion of progress Kidding, good work man

The launcher login is working again. Please let us know if you have any more issues!

Ahem.....porn is not allowed on these forums....unless it is that awesome Yeah I'm between spaces right now, and its messy as well so I'll not be posting immediately either....man thats nice though!

Another update! Nothing major, just tied up some loose ends involving input validation. No visual changes. [Old version removed]

Haha, Translation: They've figured out more details about the sort of code they're working with here, much like how our scripts guys dissected and studied and subsequently were able to make their own implementations of the W3D engine code. And yes, I would think this probably qualifies as progress Good work Blade, and thanks for the update!

Update time! In the last couple days, I've added a couple things and taken care of some bug squashing that accompanied the new stuff (and some old ones too). I won't go into all the details because its mostly boring stuff, but for all you programmers that might be reading, I finally got around to organizing the code a bit. I busted my main .vb file out into the main + 4 modules, each with a specific purpose. This greatly increased my ability to think while working on this thing, and also helped me find things faster (duh!). I wish I had started off doing that. Now I know better! So as far as new stuff visually, there isn't much. I introduced a "games list" to cater more to anyone wanting to just quickly select and launch a single player game, so there is a new dropdown selector for that, as well as some buttons for adding/editing/deleting games, and a new window for that as well. Other than that, nothing has changed visually. The only bugs that I am aware of are on the "add profile" and "add game" windows. There is no input validation (yet)! If you find something else that seems to be amiss, please let me know! If you used the previous version, you'll need to follow this process to "import" your saved profiles: Add all the games you had before. Select a profile from the list and hit "edit". Select the game that you wish to be associated with that profile. Save! Repeat for all your previous profiles. Download here: [Old version removed] Enjoy! EDIT: If you downloaded this before, get it again. I messed up and left debug code enabled that prevented launching anything at all!

I thought I should mention (because I forgot to before) what local data this program creates, and what it does behind the scenes. This program should run with any permission set, it does not require any special rights to operate, certainly not admin, though it will work as admin. If you look in your "My Documents" folder, you should see a folder called "W3D-Asterisk", and inside there should be a "profiles.ein" file. This file is just a renamed text file that stores the saved profiles in plain text. You can open and edit it with any text editor. In the next version, there will also be a "games.ein" file that stores a list of games and their executable paths in the same format, also in plain text. Aside from these, the only local data that this program creates is a few user-registry keys (and I don't even know where exactly) that it uses to retain the last set of data used to connect from one program run to the next, as well as some other settings such as the "state" of the checkboxes and what theme you're using. Thats it! *An additional note: Next version will have a slightly different layout in the profiles.ein file, and saved profiles from previous versions of this tool will not be compatible. Just backup that file if you need the info inside it and you can put it back in manually - sorry.... Nevermind that, I've fixed it where it will modify the existing format to be compatible. In the new version, start by adding a game, then just select a profile, hit edit, select the game you just added, save and it will automagically re-format the profiles to be correct. You will need to do this for all your saved profiles.

Oh hey! I remember you from when you used the OAM name Welcome back!
