formlesstree4 18 Report post Posted March 28, 2010 ArkMessenger Alpha 1 Release Programmed by: Formlesstree4 If anyone has been wondering what's taking so long for RMXP Pool Beta 3 to come around, this is the answer: ArkMessenger. ArkMessenger is basically a lightweight Instant Messaging System, and I mean really lightweight: The client is 76.0kb plus an 11.0kb DLL file. What ArkMessenger doesn't have: 1. Image/File Sharing 2. Smileys 3. Nudges 4. Themes 5. Flashy Graphics (remember, this is lightweight) 6. Voice over IP (VoIP) It may not ever get those six items, mostly because I have no clue how to actually implement them :sweatdrop: and because I want the program to remain small and lightweight so most older computers can run it. ArkMessenger does have the basic features of an IM Client, such as adding friends and messaging them, even individual buddy lists for each user (that was lacking in previous versions of ArkMessenger, but has since been added in). Some items on my ToDo List: 1. Status Messages 2. Different Display Names (maybe) 3. Group Chats (Conference Rooms) 4. Code Optimizations and Bug Fixes 5. A "Remember Me" feature 6. An "Auto Login" feature 7. Clicking a URL in ArkMessenger will actually do something Note: Strikeout Text means a completed feature. Now that you have (or not) read this entire post, here's a picture of ArkMessenger's Login Form and Main Form: When registering, please do not use the same password that you use on RMXP Unlimited!! The database is still being modified so I can use stronger encryption on the passwords, but I do ask that you would use your same name that you have here (so I know who all is actually registered). Enough of me blabbing, here is the zip file! Updated March 31st, 2010: Release.zip Post all bugs/comments/suggestions here! Update: New version is out! Yay! :clap: . Loads of bug fixes are in this as well as new features such as status changing, better friend list adding, notifications of people logging in and out, and probably some more.

formlesstree4 18 Report post Posted March 28, 2010 Glad you like it! Server is curently down right now guys as I'm doing some upgrades to the code, but it'll be up and running in 30 or so minutes. Updated the client to Version 0.2 Alpha which includes the ability to change your status! Also fixed a very bad bug where if you registered then closed the client, the entire server was taken out. Yay for late nite testing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
