aaa3i, that's not a bug, that's you. Looks like tHeWiZaRdOfDoS gave you the correct fix suggestion/link. As a beba user, I've never had any friends/slots related problems. From your meanderings in the other post, I couldn't tell whether you've figured it out. In case you still don't have it fixed, you want to search for cryptkey.dat, statistics.ini, known.met, known2_64.met, clients.met, clients.met.SUQWTv2.met, and emfriends.met. In short, you need to move all the files in your previous config folder to your current config folder - and you need to shutdown eMule before doing so, then restart. A reinstall isn't necessary.

If there's a missing feature in all of this, it's that you can't merge your new data with your old. You've got to chose which you're willing to lose. As you correctly concluded, that's a general eMule problem, not beba specific.

[aaa3i]

1st off, his link was useless as i have already said, though i appreciate his helpfulness; 2nd, the files u name are OF COURSE had been moved together with thw whole, and are residing in the correct folder. but lets forget it anyway, i created a new incarnation and it works so i'll just delete the old nonworking one and copy all my stats, history etc to the new. thx 4 posting

About the Sourceforge question: Well, no. I am not interested at all to support US-American companies with strict "export" restrictions which would also apply to me then.

Oh, regarding the mirrors: I don't check all of them too often. If one or several are broken for you, tell me which they are and I'll remove them ASAP.



edit: I stand corrected; my FTP access does not work anymore. Need to figure it out, stay tuned.

I just updated the mirror list on beba's website. Thanks for the hint!

[Tuxman]

beba 2.64 beta is available, introducing something new.



Contact me via PM for further details.

[Stulle]

how big is the effort to do that integration? is it just a couple of extra calls here and there or do you need extensive rework? because providing this as an alternative does sound quite nice, actually. i for one wouldn't like to bother with installing snarl (or whatever it's called) but somebody else might.

[Tuxman]

Just a couple of extra calls. Add the interfaces, instantiate the Snarl object once, add some initialization stuff (register eMule, add the desired notifications, one line per type), then it's only one call:

snarl->Notify(NOTIFICATIONTYPE,TITLE,TEXT);

Actually, it's pretty easy.

You might want to set some boolean value during the initialization though, so eMule can fallback to its default notification system when Snarl does not run (or the user turns it off if allowed to).

[Stulle]

yeah, sounds pretty good. i should look out for this... whenever i have some time on my hands, that is.

anyway, great you give this whole thing a shot.

[Tuxman]

I do my best.
(Which is not much.)

[tHeWiZaRdOfDoS]

After taking another quick look you neither need the flag (check for interface != null) nor do you need so many calls... just hook it into shownotifier in emuledlg - that saves a lot of codework
Oh and if you want to use localized strings, you should reset the classes on lang changes

[Tuxman]

Well, yes about the hook. The problem with it would be that the parameters passed don't contain a decent title for the popup, so probably that would not really work without some switch-case, thus, I guess it is rather ok the way I do it...

However, my current implementation is still more of a POC, that's why it is a not-so-public beta, hahaha...
Will optimize things this afternoon, the final version should be done soon, if everything works smooth...thanks for the hint about the flag though!

Why should I reset the classes? The current strings (slightly different than the ones in the version you know) perfectly fit.
And it is intended to re-register with Snarl every time eMule is restarted, so changes should be reflected immediately.

Not sure what happens when multiple instances are running though. Probably I should consider that too, e.g. if it was not exited properly.

[tHeWiZaRdOfDoS]

Well, IMHO you should update the strings on-the-fly as they can change during runtime (though I'm not sure where we actually use those strings)... and you should also check for Snarl regularly to take care of the cases when Snarl is started/shutdown while eMule is running.

[Tuxman]

When Snarl is shut down, notifications will (probably?) not be sent, that's all. I guess Snarl won't shut down without notifying the user.
Handling this case should be easy: During the initialization, we could check if beba is still registered. If so, unregister and register again. (Multiple instances problem solved, too.)

Right?

[Tuxman]

Back home, I found out that Snarl's API does not have (?) an "IsRegistered" attribute. All we can do is check if registering/unregistering actually returns a positive (success) value or not.
So, I updated the build with some very ugly failure check code. Also, WiZ was right about the hook. Initialization code is a bit longer, but everything can be done from within eMuleDlg. The ShowNotifier method will also check if Snarl is suddenly gone, so it can safely delete the interface handle and all is fine.



(Now what's "less complicated code"?)

beba 2.64 is officially released. Feel free to download it. Read the announcement for important information about the new Snarl notification system.

[arturx]

Thx for your new release.

Emule Mods.it mirror updated:

eMule 0.50a Beba 2.64

eMule 0.50a Beba 2.64 Binary

[pesti@eMF]

Download beba v2.64 -Binary- @ eMuleFuture.de

Download beba v2.64 -Source- @ eMuleFuture.de

[Tuxman]

Well, thanks.

[Tuxman]

BTW, upcoming versions of Snarl will not ban eMule for flooding anymore, they will just stop showing popups if they are too many.
So interested users are advised to use the very latest versions if they want all pop-ups they can get.

Hi!

First, sorry for my english i'm french x'D


So just a little thing..:
-Can you create an installer/exe ? More for "integration" in Windows that another thing.
-Can you clean much more the interface ? Like morph4u made for its mods (delete the useless "Information Server" tabs etc.)
-And a beautiful skin/theme *.*
-And add "IptoCountry" wouldn't be badly too.


Well, I acknowledge that my request are very esthetic ^^"
I don't have another things to add.
Your MOD is already very well, if it's not perfect ^_-

On it, thank you very much
