Hi everyone!
DSchat is finally out, with real functionalities this time... You can find it here:
http://bafio.drunkencoders.com/
Source code will be following after some cleanups.
Version 0.8
Too many changes to remember, but among the others:
* DNS client working.
* It's now possible to connect using both wifi settings from wifitransfer and the firmware settings
* The server has option to upload a message log to an FTP server, locally serve them or save them to a local directory. HTML files are automatically generated (still in devel.)
* Touch screen code takes into account the pressure of the pen
* Keyboard (yes, I know it's not so good)
* Status
* User list (limited to 15 users now)
TODO:
* too much :)
fix server publishing, user list improvements, receiving messages in menu, more menu, user settings, webcam (not on DS I'm afraid)...

It's fine. I don't have an Apache server set up, so the PNGs aren't publically visible, but the server works.

Nope, it keeps saying it host unreachcable to dschat.kicks-ass.org :-/
Is the default correct? or does it have to be changed?
Whats that severs IP address? (I cant seem to ping it from my pc)
Also, for that mater, I am not sure if its picking up the wifi settings correct...it says logging in 0.0.0.0 :-/
#72979 - MaHe - Wed Feb 22, 2006 7:36 pm
I had the same problem. It's a local connection problem.
1. Start WiFi Transfer and set your WiFi settings.
Make sure that DNS #1 and Gateway are set to the IP of your router.
And make sure DS' IP corresponds to the same pattern as other devices on your network (in my case 192.168.1.xxx).

So the problem lies on the DNS. I suggest you to check the dns settings, the DNS server should be a valid one. Another possibility is a bug in the DNS client, but I would think it would have come up at some point.
The server seems to be down now, but anyway you shoild get the corerrct ip address when connecting...

Yes, my DNA settings are identical to my pc's on the wifi transfere, but I have a feeling the chat software might not be picking up the settings from wifi transfere.
Is there something i could do to test that?

Try to press start after the connection failed, it should give some info. Also, if you get ip 0.0.0.0 it will never work :| you can also try to give the ip address. Otherwise try to set the connection in the wifi settings from a game ...

Well, I dont know what IP address to try to give it :-/
Ok, heres exactly what I do:
"Use Settings From WiFiTransfere"
I say "YES"
It says "Connecting...connected to Bulkin54g"
Then it says
"Please Enter server address"
I leave the default and hit OK
When I press start, I get ...

It works :D

bafio, do you think you could do something about the touchscreen code to prevent the 'jumps' that happen sometimes? It?s annoying when you?re drawing/writing something, then you lift the pen off the screen, put it down again and you've got this horrible ugly line ruining everything.
And maybe an undo feature as well?

Double agreed.
Most of my feable draws where partly due to re-drawing them a few times every time that happened :p
I am still amazed someone recognised my Twinsen though.

Hi!
Here comes a new version, 0.81 minor updates:
touch screen code improvements
User list shows up to 18 users (scrolling list next time)
Discovered the secret button :)
#73060 - Puppet - Thu Feb 23, 2006 2:17 am
Well, it's better, but if you draw really fast you get empty spaces in your lines.
Also the touchscreen 'jump' isn't completely gone. It happens a lot less now, but it still happens (especially with short, quick strokes).
Also you can draw over and erase the red bar at the top.

I know, I could find no way to avoid that, and I have been experimenting quite a lot with touch screen code! pressure is a good indicator of a bad touch but it's not always useful. also, small jumps are hard to avoid.
If anybody knows a way to fix this, I'll be happy to investigate.
The top bar drawing should be impossible now (with the very latest version, 0.81b)...

I'm using it on M3CF E16/flashme6 right now. The ds.gba version works with the A button and the .nds version works with the Start button.
If you don't have flashme, that could be a problem.

I think I found an odd problem:
It seems to be connecting with the strongest/first Wi-Fi single, not always the one in the Wi-Fi Trasnfere settings :-/
Without me changeing anything, sometimes it connects to WLAN (next door=not work) and sometimes it connects to Bulking54g (Mine=Works).

Updated to the latest version of libfb. Better font display, some small changes here and there, code cleanups. Clock added.
The server now creates a paginated archive of the messages, so I suggest to update the server too. Some other small changes I can't remember.
Added a simpe ip filter to abn (temporary) abusive users.

They all should go in the root dir. just to be sure.
I really can't understand how it can connect to an ssid that is not present in the wifi config file of firmware settings, since I explicitly check that the SSID is in one of the two.
Also, I tested here with 2 wireless networks and it ignores networks ton in the list.
Plus' it has beet test and run several times from people with many wireless networks available.

not sure if this helps anyone else out.....but heres how i got it to connect (after much frustration of course!) :
I used the wifi transfer program to set up my wifi settings but couldnt connect to any servers in the wifi chat (kept getting connect to 0.0.0.0)
My firmware wifi settings that i had set up in mariokart had automatically assigned ip,dns,gateway, etc.
After mucking around with whatever settings I could I deleted the Mariokart connection and then tried the chat program again - it said it couldn't find the AP - even though I had set it up in the wifi transfer......so I figured that it must be using values from the firmware and not my wifi transfer settings file.
So then I set up the firmware wifi settings in mariokart manually with the settings from the wifi transfer file.....and it works!
What I don't understand though is why that happened? I am using a supercard sd so could it be specifically related to this card?

Hi,
First of all thanks for this message, it really helps identifying problems some people may have.
Quick version: if you have a SD device, or any device not supported by Chishm's library, please enter your settings in the Firmware (like using MarioKart) and make sude that the are ALL set manually, manual IP, gateway, DNS, etc... as you would do in wifi transfer. If you run into problems, this is the safest way to get this working.
Why: in the last version of wifi transfer I was using a modification of Chishm's library that was working on some more SD devices.
Since the last update of the officila library fixed some serious bugs, I went back to the original version. This explains why with wifi transfer these devices (I guess supercard SD) are supported, so you can read and write the configuration file, but with wifi chat they are not.
That means that wifichat actually can't read the config that wifitransfer has created. I'll se for the next release to update, maybe using the FAT library modifications from moonshell.
In any case, the safest way if using firmware settings, this makes possible to run the program from flash cards and WMB too, since it does not depend on any particular card/hardware.
Remember: you DO NEED to set all the different information ( IP address, gateway, DNS, subnet mask) manually. Also, WEP is not supported.
I hope this helps!
Cheers

Hi,
I have posted the a new, this time big update to the chat program:
http://bafio.drunkencoders.com/
Version 0.9
* New default skin.
* New keyboard with support for all the keys, shift and caps.
* Multiple messages view (press X to change from 1 message to 4 messages view)
* Menus (back to bootloader, turn off the ds...)
* Settings (change nickname)
* Changable font for the drawings
* Changable skins (simple JPG images, located in the /skins folder)
TODO:
** fix some bugs still present in the server
** Update to the new Wifi library (when out). That will add support for WEP, etc.
* Saving and loading messages from the CF
* Save settings on server and/or on the CF
* Possibly colors and TCP version... not in the near future though

Should be pretty easy to make a Pictochat skin. It was a long and tedious process converting from photographs. It would be nice to see the hard work going to some good use.
The default skin is better looking that Pictochat, but variety is the spice as they say.

Actually, I have already a fill tool code, but it's recursive, so it seems to break when filling large areas (I guess some stack overflow?).
I guess I should implement a different algorithm, so if anybody can point me out some place where to find possibly simple c drawing algorithms, I will try to add some of them :)
Also, I will need to make the keyboard hidable, so I get some more space where to add all these different buttons.

It is fantastic indeed.
Works great for me.
You know what Id like to see someone make at some time though?
A chat-app (based on this source code) with an MP3 player built in :p
#75126 - HtheB - Fri Mar 10, 2006 8:46 am
yes it worked for my M3SD too :)
gr8 Bafio tnx :)

Seems to be nice and stable for me, with no connection problems.
A few minor bugs;
*Word Wrap
*Changing your name glitches. (press Shift when changing)
----
Next major step;
*Somehow making it into a private chat client too, so I could give a program to someone I know and the messages are relaid to that.

I want to be able to talk to someone using PC while on my DS. Is there a chance of seeing something like this? Not all my friends around the world have homebrew-capable DSs.

Actually that's a good idea, I was supposed to do that also for testing, but I got lazy so I never developed it .
It sure would be easy do develop a pc application (at least easyer than the DS one)... I'll see if I find the time, but others are welcome too to develop it, I'll be happy to help.

My ultimate vision is to have a DS app that connects to your home server. The server connects you to an IM program, and relays all chats to the DS.

Why not making a chat programm for the ds then that sends directly via an im protocoll? DSICQ... lol
(DSMSN would be a paradox thing to do)

Personally, I'd love to see this turn into GAIMDS at some point in time after TCP/IP is released to public :)

Yes, I'd like that as well.
MSNDS(get it? MSN-NDS... MicroSoft Nintendo DS... ok, i'll stop now), or dsIRC would be nice too..

I don't like GAIM, as Windows client i prefer Miranda and i used SIM in my linux time (that was before linux destroyed my hard drive twice) - but I get the idea ;)
#75219 - Darkflame - Sat Mar 11, 2006 1:51 am
Purhapes a solution would be just to have an easy, self-contained sever app that also acts like a DS?
(eg, you can also enter text and maybe pictures on the pc end)
Then you can give this app to a friend, then you connect to their IP to chat to them.
I know lots of people use it, but I cant stand MSN personaly :p
(Trillian, Miranda and loads of others support the text protocal, but not the picture one)

This will look interesting, once TCP will be out. Up to then, an user interface by itself tells me as much as that other VOIP program for the DS.... I mean, I hope this will come out with real functionality, but before the lib is out, there is not much to see.
By the way, it would be really nice to integrate that with drawing functionality ;)

Especially given where Nintendo lifted the idea for PictoChat...
(Windows XP SP2 contains a handwriting-capable version of MSN Messenger. Run that on your Xboy^H^H^H^H Tablet PC.)

Hm, neat idea. On an AIM/MSN client, you could draw pictures and send them to the other person.
#82152 - ghazi - Thu May 04, 2006 7:51 am
The most recent version of MSN actually has that functionality in it, so maybe it's even less of a stretch than you'd think.

I finally managed to connect! This is awesome! :)
