AIM 6.1.16.1


Recommended Posts

I found a bug. I can't scroll all the way down on my buddy list, if i try to force it to, the scroll window might go all the way down, but it didn't scroll to the last buddy. Or it will scroll all the way, but then it bounces right back up when i try to put my mouse over the last buddy on my list. I have a linked screen name, maybe its associated with that? But its rather annoying.

Also, even though I am one of the few or even perhaps the only one to experience this, my Smiley Showers STILL do not work in this release. I have the box checked, and I also the correct plugins installed with the latest versions.

One final thing, it seems as if when Buddies sign ON, My notifications do not work. They work when i receive an IM, or when someone signs off, but not for when they sign on.

Pretty rough

smiley showers worked here

notification work

i too, have noticed the scroll bug on th buddylist.. i do not have my sn linked.

SULAX, any word on formatting AOL screen names?

edit: I also have the scroll bug.

OK, I am going to check on the scroll bug. I did not see anything in our database, but like any good engineer, looking at a bug database gives me hives...so I will ask the testers.

On the format for AOL screen names, I will try taking up that cause again. I was rebuffed last time. I promise you if this was something we could control from the IM engine (OpenAIM) I would totally do it, but it is a product of the change we made to our authentication system during the Triton days.

Oh ok thanks!

I had the scroll bug before I got adhack for this version and it was still there afterwards. if anything, Adhack made it a little bit better than it was without it.

For smiley showers, I just reinstalled Windows XP on a friend's computer and now they work for him. Before they wouldn't work at all. Perhaps it's an OS config problem.

Another Bug:

So this one deals with the tooltips for away status. If you hover over someones name who has any type of smiley face as their away message, it some up with IMG tags in the popup, not the characters of the smiley.

For example, a cry face is :

" <IMG src="aolbart:/1024/id/2B000001E4/3A2728" unselectable="on" contenteditable="false" alt=":'("> "

instead of:

" :'( "

i dont see that bug :/

why are the toasters still in times new roman, that is a horrible font for that

yea the toaster notifications still look very amateurish. they havent been changed since back in the triton days. i would suggest smaller toasters with nicer font and a grey gradient that matches the new aim6 UI. maybe take a page out of wlm's toasters. they look great

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
