I was running fine with:
ChatServerE_500a_2005_05_24_1200
except for my ongoing probs!

Went over to:
ChatServerE_500a_2005_05_26_0000
and within 10 mins Ouka 'froze'

Update - Have turned colours Off. No bot, no other chat client running, just Ouka and STILL getting the problem.

It seems to get more prevailant the longer that Ouka is running!!!!!

GRRRRRRRR

We have 2 main problems:

Users sometimes 'drop-out' of the room for no reason.

When some users come in, they cannot see any typed text. They have to leave and come in again in order to see the text.

I have NO 'odd' colour settings in use.

Update: Have reverted back to ChatServer_450c_2005_04_05_1000, we had no 'black screen' problems when running that version before. However, the problem persists! The chat client is: winmx 3.54 beta But others using the same chat clients are not having problems! I'm now getting people screaming that ...

We haven't had the problem before, so I don't think it's anything to do with the names or Alt+0160.

I might record the clients that people use, though the majority use WinMx. If the problem persits, I shall revert back to an earlier version and see if it is just specific to the latest version.

Well here's the update on the problem. It seems to start happening after a while! People can get into the room, but can't see any typed text, not even their own :!: We purposely got someone else to host to see if it was specific to when I host (in case it was something at my end), but the exact same...

I'm running the latest version of Ouka and until yesterday, everything was fine. However, yesterday a really strange thing happened where many of those in the room couldn't see any typed text, only 'darkness'! As a host, I could still see everything, so could see what was happening by the chat. Ever...

Jason,

Checked it and it is set correctly

Shame about the ban list

and btw..... Within ouka, when a 'admincmd /banip' or 'kickban' is issued, the username AND IP of the banned user is shown in the 'Penalty List'. Because this isn't actually stored anywhere, I then have to copy the IPs into my 'ChatStartup.txt' file to reload them when I restart Ouka. Works great, b...

So far so good :) However, as usual I have another 'hitch'! In the 'Management Situation' window in Ouka, I have the 'Suneo Block' disabled. However, I still get: '<Admin> SUNEO (ASCII Art Flooding) is Blocked! [IP:209.##.##.##] Any ideas why? Ouka is a great server and getting better all the time. ...

Thanks yet again jason. :) I have another quickie. I want to display the following type of web-link via Metis. However, I believe that Metis is VB based and treats the '&' as an operator! Any ideas how I can display the '&' in the link? http://www.websitename.com/modules.php?name=Forums&...

Being as this is the Metis discussion group, it seems the obvious place to post this! Ok, my Metis bot is called 'Bot' and I use it to respond to users requests and display the response 'privately'. Here is what I have: <command type="script" flood="1"> <in>help!</in> <out type=&...

Hi, I'm having a few problems I'd really like some help with. 1. When it comes to redirecting a room! Can someone confirm the required actions to redirect when being a Host or Co-host and connected via WinMx? In addition we are finding that we're getting 'ghosts', whereby we have users that appear t...

I seem to be having no end of problems with the BadLang in Metis. It gives 2 warnings, one straight after the other, then promptly kicks the offender! I have search the forums and see that this was apparantly fixed in an earlier version. I am running v1.51 RoboMx, v2.60 of Metis & v4.50b.2005022...

Not quite what I meant. I know I can log a chat in WinMx & also by using Metis, but can I do it within Ouka itself?
