Finally… Some News!
Well sorry everyone for the lack of updates over the last few weeks. Work has just gone crazy, plus I’m having PC problems and need a new one. This means moving my dev stuff over to the new PC when it arrives. So due to this and work, there will be a short delay before [...]

Success with New Approach…
Just to let everyone know, the new approach is working great. Things are much more stable and smooth, as well as more responsive. I have fixed lots of bugs and made lots of improvements. Here is a screenshot of NXG4 running, with the Graphical Channel Topic working too: Anyway, I’ll keep this post brief, but [...]

Well, 3 days wasted I’m afraid. The mIRC self threaded DLL approach is a no go. Even basic stuff just does not work in a DLL of this kind. And just to make sure it’s not just my lame coding at fault, I tried some professional code that is mature and stable, same thing. So… [...]

Ok. I thought I should let you all know how the beta was received by the testers… The initial tests proved successful, inasmuch as basic things worked, like connecting, chatting, events etc. Docking was functional and the display was adequate. However, after some “abuse” by some of the testers, like fast docking/undocking, docking to the [...]

Just a quick progress report. I am on target for a beta release in 3 days. Also, mIRC 7.1 was released yesterday. I can confirm NXG4 will be completely compatible with 7.1, and may in fact require it. I will need a day or so of coding/scripting/testing to determine what changes (if any) I need [...]

7 Days to go…
Well I am on target for a beta release to testers in 7 days! It will be basically functional, with 2 plugins (also betas) to make sure the whole thing is robust and flexible on all systems. Here is a screenshot of the FTP Server plugin inside NXG4… Keep watching this site as I will [...]
Continue reading »Beta ETA…
Things are progressing well. For a working beta (released only to testers (sorry!)) to be ready, I’m looking at about 10 days, providing paid work doesn’t interfere too much with my time. The beta will have core functionality, but no major plugins included (I now have 15 of them planned). Once the beta is fully [...]

Another week…
Raws are done!!! Just a few need theming now, but that won’t take long. Updates to the plugin system too, screenshot below: I also started work on the profile system, which is similar to the one in 2.05, but with a few enhancements… here is a screenshot: Also, here is a list of planned plugins, [...]
Continue reading »July Update…
Apologies for the lack of an update last weekend, I did get some work done on NXG4 but no time to post about it. Anyway, last week and this week have been quite productive. I still have some raw events to script/code/theme, but as that was getting a little bit boring I decided to recode [...]
Continue reading »Update on weekend of development…
Well I had a good 12 hours of development time for NXG4 this weekend, and got quite a lot done. The nicklist is now finished apart from colours and a popup. It responds to all events correctly, updates smoothly and will be much more stable then the nicklist in 2.05. There aren’t many events to [...]
