I don't know if I really needed a new thread for this, but oh well.
Hello all! I have finally ticked off all my goals for a first 'proper' release, and now I present to you a shiny and complete (for now) version of FactioNET!

FacioNET is a chat program for advanced computers designed for relatively large groups of players who want to have a means of private chat on servers that is a little more fun than a boring old plugin. It has both server and client functionality rolled into one, but I will at some point make a stand-alone command line host program.

Here is a screenshot:



here are more:

Spoiler






To install it, type pastebin get Ju58g7Mt FacSetup into the console and run FacSetup The installer is an utterly useless program, but it will indeed get FactioNET on your computer. It's more for show. You don't actually need to get the installer anymore. Now you can just type pastebin get 8Uhx0G2C Factionet in the folder that you want Factionet to be and voilà! You have Factionet. You may also get the installer if you like, it's quite nice. :)/>

Features:
  • Client and Server rolled into one.
  • Each server has a password and anyone with that password can join with any username (that isn't already active).
  • Neat GUI that includes lots of clicking, fancy text wrapping (whole words that don't fit jump to the next line), scrolling and more.
  • You can take a 'snapshot' of your server that includes all the details such as the password, and the last 100 lines of chat. You may then load this later
  • Well-labelled code.
Well, the program has a few glitches and things that I've forgotten, but I was just getting so tired of waiting! I will fix those later.
Please, feel free to leave comments and suggestions. Looking forward to hearing from you!

(p.s. here is the old thread, in case you're interested)

Well, this has completely failed to catch the eye of the Computercraft public.

There is a new update out: I have limited the chat to 100 lines and you can now delete 'sessions' from within the program. I have confirmed that you do not need the installer anymore.
