[RunUO 2.0 RC1] Knives' Chat 3.0

So I have a long list of completed updates for the next beta release, but am facing one final task before updating. When I started this 3.0 project, I intended to make the menu intuative, or easy to navigate. While it seems so for some, for others it is in fact not.
I also plan to tackle three other major issues. Firstly, the furstration some users experience in creating their first public channel. I will resolve this by including the normal public channel as a predefined channel, and allow you to disable these channels in-game if you wish.
Second, Maintaining two different releases for RunUO 2.0 and RunUO 1.0. I plan to make one release which works for both, which I also plan for previous versions and TownHouses.
Lastly, the ever-present Utilities package confusion. I will take the elements of the Utilities package and incorperate them into the individual scripts. While this will increase distro size slightly, it removes any concern over what package you should be using.
So those are my goals! *cracks knuckles*
Addition:
I am also looking for anyone who may have a copy of the old Chat 1.0.

Um, I have the 1.05 version of the chat system, that any good?
irc
I have a problem with IRC function. I have auto connect/re- activated and whenever we have a netsplit and the bot loses connection it doesn't attempt to reconnect. Usually I reconnect manually but this time I didn't till reboot. But it didn't auto reconnect and I can't connect it anymore at all. I click disable, then enable again, hit connect, but it only refreshes the gump, still gives the connect button, not cancel attempt.

Change the ClearGump function in general.cs to this
Code:
public static void ClearGump(Mobile m, Type type)
{
if (m.NetState == null)
return;
m.CloseGump(type);
foreach (Gump g in m.NetState.Gumps)
if (g.GetType() == type)
{
m.NetState.RemoveGump(g);
return;
}
}

While this is bumped back up, I might as well chime in with news =)
I am coming close to a new menu layout and a few engine changes that will hopefully satisfy every problem ever reported! That's a mighty claim though, so I'll just say it's different.
I am also looking to create skins for 2.0 and 1.0 styles, but to do this I need someone who can send me my old Chat 1.0.
I also did something silly, and added a short history viewer. It allows you to view the last 50 chats per channel. I originally added this to allow porting chat text to my shard website, then figured it'd me a good idea.
On the topic of inter-connecting web and chat, how do you feel about adding methods to allow receiving web forum Pms in-game? I won't do the web server code for this, but I can make the server-side capable.

that would be interesting with the PM's....as for the chat, i allready did that sorta.
the easiest thing for that to work would be to set up the IRC portion of the chat system...then you have chat within IRC and In-game....then get a java IRC client to take care of the website portion of it...then you have chat between your website, game, and IRC client!
as i said, you can check it out on my site if your interested...i think i used pjirc....it was the easiest to get working and to work with so...
but that's the easiest way since it is all set up to run with IRC already, then all you need is a webhost that will run java...and your good to go

Okay everyone! I made a sneak Beta-Update-Attack today. I found myself at a point in development where I could use your inputs again. I am already hard at work on a few other features, including the 2.0 and 1.0 skins.
If you want a sneak peak at the todo list, I left it in /Channels/Channel.cs .
So.... Beta 7! This version, as I mentioned in the description post, works with both RunUO 2.0 RC1 and RunUO 1.0 Final. You have to make one minor mod to adapt it to 1.0, so read the directions!!!
WOw... I just realized this update, with Utilities integrated, is much smaller than Beta 6. Efficiency!
And a quick thanks for everyone's continued support. Friendly Pms are always welcome, and do help motovate me =)

One other comment, I cant seem to add the staff member to the list. He's always invised. Also even when he's invised it still counts him on the # Online in the main gump. I like the new look though! Much more streamlined!
Edit Ya, I can see my gm on his menu and when I select invis he goes away but he never shows on players menus. And he always counts on the Online Counter.

By default, ShowStaff is turned off in channels. Players will never see staff, but staffers who have higher accesslevel will. Try turning on Show Staff for public, I'll do the same =)
