Amiga Events : SabreMSN 0.68 released with personal avatar support
Posted by MickJT on 2010/3/28 16:51:06 (1994 reads) News by the same author
Amiga Events

A new version of SabreMSN has been released. 0.68 alpha brings the ability to select your own avatar, fixes various bugs and has a slight UI change.

At the time of posting, only an OS4 package is available.

OS4Depot link

Please read the .readme for more information than just the changelog.


2010-03-28: Alpha 68

- Users can choose their own Avatar now.
- Windows/tabs will not open when a switchboard connects. Instead, they will open when someone types
to you. This way, the switchboards that are opened to download your avatar will not bother people.
- Default graphics is shown when the user has no avatar to download. I dont know how to do graphics.
  Any volunteers to make me a better one?
- The "Close Tab" text button has been replaced with graphics, but it looks very ugly.

- Avatar cache bugfixed a bit. It was downloading a new avatar for each new switchboard session.
  It didnt use the "downoad/dont download" variable properly. No point in a cache then eh!
- "Dont use direct connection" messages were sent over and over before. It's now only sent once.
- Temporary/currently downloading avatars are stored in progdir:cache/trash/ and cleaned on startup, and
avatars are renamed into the cache/trash/ dir if they cant be deleted, to get around issues of locked files
in some circumstances.
- The toolbar automatically hides the borders and text, to make it look more handsome.

There's an issue displaying avatars with multiple tabs. I guess it simply wasn't tested enough.

Use the AISS Cancel icon... It looks good....

Great release. I tried it yesterday on my OS4.0 Classic Amiga 1200.... It works great.....

If the user doesn't have an avatar, why should there be this default image? it would be better not showing anything and just have the chat box bigger.... Also, is there a way to resize the avatar icon?

Keep up the good work.

0.69 is currently in the OS4Depot uploads list

2010-04-01: Alpha 69
- Avatars wont disappear from the display anymore after the tabbed windows are hidden and
then shown again.
- Added a sanity check for when updating the GUI when removing a file transfer, so that it
doesnt try to update parts of the GUI if its not yet created. (which is sometimes the case
when receiving/sending avatars).
- Undid a change to make the GUI more handsome by default. TheBar.mcc can now be freely
configured once again. And look ugly by default again. :)
- Played around with the imagery a bit, borrowed some images from AISS
