habian varios, slidegamers, powerlobbies, rengames, pero luego de muchas peleas y discusiones con los dueños de esos clientes de chat decidimos que era mas facil que nosotros mismos tuvieramos nuestro propio chat.

sorry i couldn't understand anything lol

he's asking if there's any other alternative to our webchat, like a chat client or something. I told him about our past chat clients, and that they all suck. I promise i'll work on a client for mtm2.com someday. It's not that difficult I think.

LOL KM

Yes I understood what he said.

Its a shame he doesn't pop in and join us, everyday but Thursday there seems to be something on.

Nothing wrong with Java. All computers can use it.

It actually isn't that hard to make a peer to peer chat, making on that is server based and joinable from a website is a fair bit tougher.

I had found some code samples on the internet and compiled, was very simple code.

The method used in the program requires port forwarding, so not ideal, but I am sure someone, somewhere has written a connecting class to handle that stuff.

as I hate java, I have never seen the webchat as a final solution to our online needs. Of course many people wouldn't want to deal with chat clients anymore, but even Phin has aknoweldge the fact that our (our?) java webchat is not the final deal. It's not a bad webchat but I hate webchats. And I hate java. And many people share my pov. Phin said once he was working with something but "it's gonna take some time"... and that was back in 2009 lol. I don't have enough skills to program a chat client right now, but it's not something impossible tho. And it would be a chat client that is really ours, that means no rengames, no wgc, no battlehq. Open source and no comercial, with a Creative Commons license so that if people want to steal our code (like rengames tried to) they can not make profit from it and they need to release their code in the same conditions. I bet Trevor and I, with the help of Phin and D2S can work on something.

neither have I. But time and money...

At least we don't have to suck up to a web site that doesn't care about our game

That is a good thing. But I do wish we could get a local or web based client for the chat and game launching.

From my perspective, what I really need is the knowledge. I would love to program something for the community. In fact I've been trying to get phin to release BinEdit and Traxx with a open source license, to see If I can improve my programming skills by updating those programs.

I'm not sure if I have the time, and the money is not a problem (I wouldn't charge a thing, I don't care about money... mtm2 is not a business for me, I'm not like you know who.) and I bet more people like Slayer, CH and D2S would volunteer too.

Course not. Actually we never really needed those. With some good trusted programmers, we could have done our own chat client and launcher back in 2005 with no problem.
