I have recently finished my latest creation. It is called Dark Chat and it was written entirely in DBC with the help of Benjamin's Tempest plugin. For more information visit the website listed below.

Dark Chat Website

If you are interested in receiving your copy of Dark Chat then just post below and I will contact you. Enjoy.

Dark Chat now supports up to 64 players (take that CR). I'm also lowering the price to $3.99 so get yours now.

Hmmm... Will I use MSN that is free and support file tranfers, sound conversations, webcam conversations,got a nice interface, got millions of users and so on... OR buy a chat program for 4$ that supports nothing but chat... And properly non of your friends have... Yeah... That's a hard decision...

There are MANY free chat programs out there that supports more then your chat program does.

Do you got any reason why people should switch to your chat program? I would like to know the pro's of doing so.

O.K. fine, I guess there are no n00bs or suckers out there that are willing to pay for this (JK) so I have decided to make it free. I think it would be a useful way for developers to communicate with each other. I was just trying to make some extra cash, but I guess it's not going to work.

So are many other free chat programs.

Making extra cash this way is surely a bad idea...

apparently you thought I was dissing you, I wasn't. But as you can see my question wasnt as far fetched as you first thought. It's cool that you made this - I just didn't think anyone would pay for it.

Now take it to the next level, use it to learn more, make an irc client or something, that would be cool (don't try to sell it either). The irc protocol was written by drunks just so you know.

Just amazing how soon you fell in love with the program after it's free ^^

Reminds me of the the good old days when I tried to sell my games made in TGF (The Games Factory). That was good old times...

Funny how that works isn't it. Also I can't upload the program to my website because the max file size it supports is 600 kB I'll see if I can find a work-around somehow.

Maybe, You should try it and find out. Also, you can post a link in your post to the download link, which can be updated and deleted, if you follow my thinking...

So you're saying host it on a third party site like FileFront and put an html link in my post that I can delete later?

Are you able to email it? That way you could attach it to the email and only the people who email it to you will be able to get it.

Just a thought.

@Area 51
For the Server IP address you must specify the internal ip of the machine it is running on. This can be obtained by typing "ipconfig" into MSDOS. Then for the client enter the external ip address of the machine the server is running on. This can be found at http://whatismyip.net. You may or may not have to set up port forwarding depending on whether or not you have a router. Hope this helps.

nu-uh it does work, I tested it. Try running the server and client on the same computer and using the ip address 127.0.0.1 for both and get back to me. Also make sure you open UDP ports 3988-3999 in your firewall.

Here's step by step instructions:
1.launch Dark Chat Server.exe
2.enter your internal ip or 127.0.0.1 if testing on same computer
3.should say "Hosting..."
4.launch Dark Chat Client.exe
5.enter the external ip of the host computer or 127.0.0.1 if testing on the same computer
6.enter a screen name
7.should say "Connected to server..."
8.follow on-screen instructions from there

Hope this helps

Of course it is possible to connect to other people using this program. If it couldn't it wouldn't really be a chat program then lol. I don't understand why Area 51 can't get it working. I've tested it and it works fine.

it's not that great to let people get their local ip that way.. let the program get it!



LocalIP$ = local ip
WebIP$ = external ip

Thanks very much for the advise ! I'll try implementing it into my program. But it doesn't take too long to find your local and external ip anyway.

@Area 51
You're currently the only person with the program so I bet it is going to be pretty lonely for a while .
