04/01/2008 - WIM 2.4.9 Released!

[DevTeam] [Zeke]: I love that I get emailed when someone reports spam on the boards, but I can't do anything about it.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: lol i got you
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: Ah.. thanks for the clarification and apologies for "crying wolf" in that case :
[DevTeam] [Kaidenn]: PAZZA! i miss you.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: Lol, it's funny how it takes spam message reports to get me to come back
[DevTeam] [sylvanaar]: Check out the beta tester forum. Need alpha testers and feedback so I can come up with a maintenance plan.
[Developer] [Pazza]: loaded some new spam prevention modules... lets see if this stops the bastards.
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Thought I'd check in and say Howdy Doody from Australia
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Yeah the spam from shoes salesmen was becoming insane
[Guest] [Delakando]: What ever happened to the ability to track friend's location by wim? Other then just showing their general zone location.
Zeke pokes his head around the corner.
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Anybody home?
[Guest] [Theillur]: I would like to know if it is just me.

WIM 2.4.9 is now available for download. This version comes with the ability to view emoticons in your WIM conversations. I have preloaded 50 emotion-icons into WIM. Skin developers also have the ability to add more as well as replace WIM's preloaded icon/emotion definitions. The skin section of the site still isn't finished, nor is the documentation for skinning. There have been a couple developers however who have taken the initiative and figured it out for themselves. Be sure to check out the Skinning Discussion found on this site's forums.

As usual, read the change logs for more details, post comments, questions and concerns on the forums.


*** Below was April 1, 2008's April Fools Joke - Do not take seriously ***

A brief change of subject, a side project of mine has been working with the Apple iPhone. Some of you might have heard about the SDK (Software Developer's Kit) which was released not so long ago. This extremely large download (~2 gigs) has brought new possibilities to the iPhone. I can't explain how much sleep has been lost trying to get this to work, however I have been able to port a version of World of Warcraft to the iPhone. As most of you know, the iPhone runs on a BSD type kernel and therefore can be tweaked to support Wine. Wine is used to run windows based apps on linux machines. Many are currently, and successfully playing WoW on linux computers. Anyway, below is a screenshot of WoW running on my iPhone. Because of the size of the device, it does make gameplay a little difficult. With a frame rate of 8fps and AT&T's extremely slow network, raiding doesn't seem feasible. The good news however? WIM works flawlessly! Once I work out all of the kinks, I will release a beta on the site. till then, here's the screenie.

download link broken. (or joke too?)

well done wow port....rofl.

[Pazza]

Link should be fixed.

[joh]

Sorry. It's still pointing to 2.3.65 http://www.wimaddon.com/downloads/WIM-2.3.65.zip

[Pazza]

Ok, now... I promise.

[Zeke]

WoW Pazza, nice work on the iPhone there! I was actually working on a similar project with the SDK, but I only have an iPod touch. I also made a custom interface for mine, I can't stand vanilla WoW...

[Koineil]

AWE! Darn...Ok...well should anyone ever pick up the quest to run it...I will happily ßeta test for you.


All I can say is wow!

I am going to get an iPod Touch (32gb) as soon as my taxes come in.

I would enjoy being a ßeta tester for you...for this.

Thanks

Koineil
