You mean like channels in IRC? So far there are not so many users that having everyone on IRCHub is a problem, but I can see your point there.

Whoops, sorry for misspelling. Razz I think more people will use gCn when it is possible with direct USB, and what is IRC? (I just read somewhere something of virtual hubs with gCn...) (hopfully it has no misspelling! )

IRC is Internet Relay Chat. If you glance over there <--- at SAX, everyone who is talking with a (#) before their name is on IRC, not actually on SAX. I agree that a lot more people will be trying out gCn once Direct USB is released, but I'll wait to see how significantly that increases the load on the gCnIRCHub. Smile

My pleasure. If you can find some more suggestions or bug-fixes, though, it would make it worthwhile to release a new version.

You said you wanted some encouragement to work on CALCnet, Kerm, so here are a bug and suggestion for the Chat! program and/or IRCHub: PART messages are displayed, but QUIT messages are not; and the characters between a nick and message should be ": ", not just ":" (i.e. add a space). As it stands, the message "BILLYMAYS | Sad" in IRC becomes "BILLYMAYS:Sad". Admittedly, this is probably only a problem for smilies at the start of lines, but it's not a large waste of screen space to fix it.

Thanks for those two great suggestions, calcdude! Luckily, I can fix both of those in the gCn-IRC bridge without having to give anyone a new CALCnet Chat! client, so if you'd double-check that I did indeed fix both issues, I would appreciate it. Smile

Quit messages now work. And messages from IRCHub now have a space after the colon. However, messages from other Chat! users probably still don't have the space after the colon. I need someone else online with me to confirm this suspicion, though.

Yeah, you are correct about that, from looking at the code. Unfortunately, I can't fix that without fixing CALCnet Chat itself, so I shall do so. Thanks for checking!

No problem; glad to be of assistance. Sounds like a pretty quick change, thankfully! I can think of one other feature request, though it's larger than simply adding another character. The Chat! program has nothing like "/me". Could something similar (perhaps with a different, one-character, invocation) be added?
On a related note, from external observation, it appears that the Chat! program sends and receives the full line to be displayed, including the nick. I don't know if Chat! has separate join/part commands, but if my observation is correct, couldn't a "/me" line just be sent/received like a regular message?

Not quite; the /me command is actually


Code:
PRVMSG #channel \0x01ACTION message\0x01


so some wrapping would be required on one end or another.

I've been having random timeout errors with Sandpaper too—they don't always happen, but they happen pretty often. (Seems to be always when the connection dialog's open, though.)

Well, within Chat! itself, there's no need to replicate IRC's complexity. With IRCHub, IRC->Chat! just involves translating it; it does this already. For Chat!->IRC, IRCHub can just display the string, just like SAX does for its users.

If it's amenable to you guys, I can again just make the IRCHub handle gCn->IRC lines starting in /me into ACTIONs. Unfortunately, this wouldn't make /me work with calculator-to-calculator chats, either mediated by gCn or directly over CALCnet. For that, I'd have to modify the CALCnet Chat binary, not that that would be a big deal.

I'm pretty sure this is a known issue with DirectUSB gCn, something that I've been needing to solve for well over a year, but just for kicks, try specifying the reconnect (-r) flag and see if it helps. In my latest builds, reconnect is actually enabled by default, and -r disabled it, so make sure you don't have one of those.

Gotcha. gcnclient.exe just quits when the error occurs, so I guess I'll try that (-r) later.

Hmm, then I either haven't released the new version or you don't have it. I vote the former, so let me know what happens when you try the -r flag.

Can you add chat logging where the calculator makes a log of all the chat and saves it to a text file in the calc's mem?

Also does it work with the Arduino Mega version?

It's possible but challenging; what applications/purpose might such a log serve?

A log would be nice so you can leave your calc on then read what happened while you were gone.
