BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
I made up an utility to check which friends are online on BZFlag server, optionaly allowing to join the same server in same or different team.
The project is in beta state.
It's developped in Mono/GTK using Monodevelop on OpenSuse and Sharpdevelop on Windows Vista.
I would actually need some ppl to test the thing under various environments :
- Windows XP
- Windows Vista
- Any Linux distribution
- Mac
At the moment, the project has no installer , and dependencies must be installed manually.
If you are volunteer to help or just want to have a look to it the project is here :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bzfriends

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
The file you put up two hours ago can't be found. Good luck, and I'll help where I can.
Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
Try a different mirror.
Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
It was a different kind of error, like a deleted file from the project.
The .sh file isn't written correctly, "/bzfriends.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory" though it works without that line.
Works fine, in mono, so it's a mono dock icon and menu options. I added Gicu, a bot that seems to be always on. You can't see the name of the second person while the first is selected.
In terminal,
(bzfriends:478): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_remove: assertion `GTK_IS_TOOLBAR (container) || widget->parent == GTK_WIDGET (container)' failed.
In log.txt a lot of this,

that's right, i've re-posted the zip file because the content was not correct.tobylane wrote:It was a different kind of error, like a deleted file from the project.
I made the linux shell script quickly and under windows without testing it ; it might have problem to execute.tobylane wrote: The .sh file isn't written correctly, "/bzfriends.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory" though it works without that line.
I don't see a similar problem either under windows or opensuse : is it a window refresh problem ?tobylane wrote: Works fine, in mono, so it's a mono dock icon and menu options. I added Gicu, a bot that seems to be always on. You can't see the name of the second person while the first is selected.
Yes i see all these message. ATM I know which line causes this message but i don't know what's the problem.tobylane wrote: In terminal,

You can ignore the log file for the moment, it's really messy, i must put a few order into it. Terminal output is more useful.tobylane wrote: In log.txt a lot of this,

BTW on which OS did you test it ?

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
The "^M" that the terminal reported in the shell script means that the file is using Windows line endings. Convert it to use *nix line endings. Easy way for a small script is to just edit the file and delete the ^M's. For something large, there are sed replacements you can do.

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
Or, to fix the ^M problem, just run the file through the dos2unix program. That would automatically convert the line endings.

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
I'm afraid it doesn't work under windows XP.
I'm running winxp home and as soon as I click on the "BZFriends" icon I get the errors in the attachments.
The full error report is huge and it doesn't allow copy/past so I have no way to show you guys...

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
The "contents of the error report" (from error2.bmp) would possibly be more helpful. The two images you posted basically just tell us there is an error. Also, would be better to post jpg files for images, if that is an option... bitmaps (bmp) are huge by comparison.

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
Hmmm... that might be the problem

No I didn't, I'll try again later with mono.

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
Hi folks,
First,sorry gmangrey for lack of support but
- i forgot to activate the notification of new posts on topic
- i often (almost daily) use "view new posts" function in forum and did not see there were new posts here.
So, many thanks to blast and joevano for their help.
This said, I released a new version here https://sourceforge.net/projects/bzfrie ... p/download
This version should be more stable (but uglier ...) , and manage better minimization to system tray (with a tooltip saying who is online).
I'm studying usage of InstallJammer in order to make clean installation under Windows and Linux.
I'm waiting for a bzfriend of mine to draw me a nice icon (I don't say who it is but his callsign begins with a 'z' )
Thanks all

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
Just try it... if it works good, if not it doesn't. According tho the stats on sourceforge no one has worked on this for over 7 months.

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
It seams like it won't work with Windows XP...
If i double-click the BZFriends.exe the cursor flashes hourglass for a split second and then it's over.

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
As an alternative, you can use the jabberbot. There's a special bzbb topic with details

hrm... Mac OSX 10.6.3

Albeit, i may be missing something.
I downloaded the .zip file and ran the .exe through WINE, but that didn't work.

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
I abandonned this project to focus on my jabber bot.
As Strayer The Great suggests, use Bzfriends Jabber bot instead.

Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
Maybe an Aduim plugin?
Re: BZFriends - A "'who's online' utility
Why can't Aduim use the jabber bot? It supports the jabber protocol.
