DevchatClient 1.0.6 - including ingame chat for Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude

Post by Samuel Creshal »

What is it?
A stand-alone client for Egosoft's Devchat:
[ external image ]
Among other advantages (e.g. not needing to have a browser window open all time) it offers tabbed PMs (like Pidgin, Miranda, Skype or similar chat clients), reliable audio notifications, better responsiveness when the server is (again) near breakdown, and up to 10 preset texts instead of 3 with the browser client.
And, it is free/libre open source software, so it's good for your karma. :P And you can make sure that I'm not spying on your passwords by checking the source code. Just make sure you don't have better things to do that week. :D :roll:

Also, starting with 0.6.6, it contains an external backend, which is used by mark_a_condren's ingame client:

Windows installer (All dependencies included)
Source tarball (for Linux/Unix users and masochists who want to try compiling it under Windows - make sure to read the file INSTALL)

The warning is simply because the program is new, the scanner itself doesn't find anything. Nor does any other up-to-date virus scanner, if you're paranoid, check with virustotal.com or similar.

Edit: Version 0.5.4 is out! Still virus clean. :roll:

A small thing, and may seem picky, but you might want to use an
imaginary DevChat session, not a real one your screenshot.

(I don't have access, so I'm assuming it's real)

I got ticked off by my boss once, when I was working for a small company
for using real data to test a program, because if it had got out of the
premises it would have breached the Data Protection Act. We had to
knock up some imaginary data to solve the problem.

Nothing there that's not public knowledge already.
Join the chat as level one user, click history and you can read what you see there. as long as you find the right date ;).

That's why the screen shot only shows data available to any user. ;)

Btw., could a mod be so kind to pin the thread like the German one?

Awesome. I have nothing more to say.

Also, stickying it will make more users use DevChat, which is always nice.

(Oh, wait)

EDIT: Fix'd.

I doubt that. But maybe more users will join DevChat.

Edit: Typo.

To compile on Ubuntu, in addition to the basic build environment you'll need the following packages:

libgtk2.0-dev
libxml2-dev
libsoup2.4-dev
libnotify-dev
libgtkspell-dev

This will install them:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libxml2-dev libsoup2.4-dev libnotify-dev libgtkspell-dev
configure wrote:Writing options to config.h ...
Checking whether build environment is sane...
Detected GCC compiler, OK.
Checking for libraries...
Checking gtk+-2.0
OK.
Checking libxml-2.0
OK.
Checking libsoup-2.4
OK.
Checking libnotify
OK.
Checking gtkspell-2.0
OK.
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here, huge success!
*wanders off singing*
All good.
