You can now list your RoboMX hosted room on the WPN channellist with the roomlist plugin.
The actual roomlisting code has been written by KM, I just interfaced it with RoboMX.
The plugin is closedsource so can't be hosted on sourceforge.net

How it works :

Put the RoomList.rEx in your RoboMX add-ons folder. Start RoboMX and open a server console. type:
host 127.0.0.1 16699 exampleroom
To start a room on TCP port 16699 with the name 'exampleroom'.
Then join the room with the chatclient.
Once you joined the room you have these commands to control the roomlisting:

/list enable [users]
This makes your room visible on the WPN and sets the room user limit to [users] which must be a number between 0 and 65535
/list disable
This makes your room invisible again
/topicthis sets the room topic
/limitThis updates the userlimit
/listhelp
displays a list of available commands

The plugin can only list one room at a time and is limited to a single instance per windows-user

Enjoy

not so much coperating, more he couldn't figure it out so i gave him part of the MCS source to show how it was done...

i dont think either MCS or robomx are the perfect winmx chat server (by a long way) but tthey both have their good and bad points and at least this way the user can chose which they want instead of just being forced to use either winmx or MCS... and choice is what makes things great

choice is what makes things great

They say that choice is freedom, I'm so free it's driving me insane.

Hmm a note from Bender posted on his site.

The server that hosts the RoomList-Plugin Homepage seems to be broken. The webhost says it might be several days until the server is back up. I am too lazy to host it somewhere else or to re-upload it, so it's bye bye Roomlist plugin I guess lol.

Probably a good idea judging from the amount of problems the networks been having recently.

i still have the file up on my web server from where his host wasn't working before... although i think he said he changed something since the first version (that file), oh well...
