Working Chatroom

[boomsmee]

Id like to see a chatroom that actually works on this site, rather than the current one which only throws Undefined String Exceptions. Though if I'm sent the source code I may be able to fix it, it would probably be easier to find a working free one online.

If you want the source for the applet, it takes all of 30 seconds to run it through a decompiler. I can do it for you if you really want to take a look and don't have any suitable tools.

"undefined string exception" is an easy enough error to fix. Its trying to display a string which isn't there. To be precise, its trying to display an error message which is for some reason missing.

The underlying error which it doesn't have a message for is that your connection has been refused. In 99% of cases, this means that your firewall is preventing it connecting to the server. (occasionally it is because the server has crashed, but that hasn't happened for a few weeks and is usually fixed quite quickly)

In any case, I would strongly recommend getting a real IRC client. Popular choices seem to be Xchat, chatzilla, Trillian, mirc, zirc, pirch, IRCle and sirc. If you're at work or somewhere you can't control your firewall, Whiplash and CGI::IRC can circumvent this problem (although you need to either have a webserver to install them on, or find someone using Whiplash who hasn't restricted which server it can connect to)

I have a decompiler, though having the original source would be better, as decompiled code has no comments. also i would need to know about any additional classes other than the main one. Ive ruled out any firewall issues. (It comes up when there is no firewall up and the router bypassed and even occures in the about informationg on multiple OS's unless my ISP is blocking a required port, in which case ill be really pissed for them making me look like an idiot.) and yes I am using java from sun. Not that screwed up sometimes incompatable MS crap they call java.

I already have an IRC client. Just tell me were to connect to and the channel.

The server is irc.hypnonet.net (unless its changed in the last few weeks)
Channel is #warpmymind
