SFN is dead.
Download at
[URL].
Language files not supported at the moment, sorry; I missed the time to do this. I´ll add soon.
I´ve thought of a program which shows all your Soldat-friends on one screen. With one click, you can join their servers, send them a message or compare you with other Soldat players in a ranking table.
Soldat Friends Network is the easiest way to do this. It´s not done yet, but logging in and creating a new user works so far. I´ve made some screens to show you how SFN looks. Look more down for screens.
Althought, there is xfire. Didn´t know this when I created SFN, but I think some players will prefer SFN, especially clan players.
The special about SFN is, you need only a webserver that understands PHP to run a SFN Server. Also, SFN uses nearly no resources or traffic. For example, you have only to send 10 bytes to the server to get logged in.
Advantages: Uses nearly no resources and traffic; nearly every web-server can be a SFN-server; very fast
Disadvantages: So far no functions; datas aren´t transfered in SSL
2 do: Make all buttons work; encrypt sent datas; your ideas!
Would you like such a tool or would you preffer xfire? If you liked it, what extra functions would you like in SFN?
Regards,
Ducksteina.

I think this program would be really good. : ). Because it's focused on just Soldat whereas XFire has lots of proggys. I hope this gets finished!!

Thanks for the post. What features would you like to see in SFN?

Maybe a chat thing? So you could chat before going into a game.
A favourites list, of your favourite servers.
A history list of all recent servers, say 5 days old.
A create a server link that brings up a message box that says "Dedicated" on one button or "Not Dedicated" on the other, and they either goto Soldat or Soldat Dedicated Server.
Those are my ideas.

On your own computer, it would be bit hard. I suggested storing it on the server and set a maximum for it.

I first tryed to upload the pic at imageshack, but it doesn´t work really and it is not fair. So I need a ftp server. If anybody got a fast ftp-server with a big trafficlimit and much space, please message me in icq (17949786zero). Thank you. If I don´t find a ftp server, there won´t be profil images, sorry.

Latest news on SFN:
Added support for language files. So everybody who wants to help SFN by writing a language file for it should really do it for the Soldat community. I´ll add the english example of a language file at the end of the post.
Written languages yet: English, German, Hebrew
Finally found a fast ftp server for image hosting. Much thanks go to SaGi, who is hosting the ftp server. So avatars will be supported!
Fixed a couple of bugs
Updated the template a bit. You are now able to specify a link (email or homepage).
I didn´t forget SFN, I just had no time. Thanks for your patience.
Template for language file:
(\n will be replaced with a new line.)

You speak of these servers, will it be one server per 10 friends for example (or a clan running their own) or would you want a server to run for the entire community?
What kind of traffic useage will be expected from the server too? I'm inquiring because I may be able to provide a big fast one...

I'm guessing it's gonna be one for the whole community.
Ducksteina
March 5, 2005, 1:20 pm
There won´t be _that_ much traffic. For logging in, like 10 bytes are transfered and every second some bytes to check online status. I first planned to make a server for the community and add custom server support later.

Well either way when you release it people are going to know, and in your language file "MsgBox_WrongPw" kinda gives away thats its possibly made in Visual Basic, since MsgBox is a visual basic syntax

You dont have to do anything when you make the log. what you do is reinstall SFN by pressing INI flush at the options. then you get a fresh start, and when it asks for your soldat folder, just browse it and it find the command log by itself... then you have succsesfully installed Soldat Friends Network =)

Try and make it so you can see who is on/offline in a list or something if possible.
May also want to check the 'users online' list via the 'server' button, it says around 7-8 - This may be true or may be a bug?

You shouldnt criticize other peoples work.
Offer constructive criticizm, dont just say 'it sucks'.
"No offence, but this thing sucks ass, especially considering how long it took to make..."
I saw you do a similar thing "pretty pointless" in another thread.
Make an effort to be nice to other people and their work, otherwise you wont get any of that back.
Having said that, while this messenger thing is a neat idea, it does need some work (time permitting).
Knowing when people are online with a simple online/offline status would no doubt improve the functionality drastically, and maybe even redesign the GUI to be 'messenger' style, like MSN or ICQ for example.
If you want, I could spend an hour or two touching up a few things to give you a kick start if I have the time myself between work/uni/weekends. Ive developed messenger applications in the past (VB/C++) and experienced in PHP/PHP Sockets, so its not new ground to me.
Enesce, some ideas for your monitor thing ill post in another thread to keep this one on topic!

Hi guys.
I don´t need help in VB, seriously. Especially because I don´t program SFN in VB. But thanks for the offer.
I´ll tell you the truth: The people wanted SFN to come out, so I did so. I didn´t have time to finish some parts of the program as you can see. A part of that was the messaging function.
I´m no machine. I don´t spend all my time into developing SFN. It´s fun sometimes, but mostly I do it because the community expects I spend all my free time into SFN. When I read things like "this sucks ass" I often think of just stopping developing. Whatever, I finally ignored that jerk.
@ Plasma: A C++ messenger would be sure more faster. I´ll send you a pm soon.
Edit: Where is the ignore function in this forum? Aww.

He wont. :) Because there are more people who are happy with this program and want it to go on, than idiots who keep saying it sucks. :>
[EDIT] Yay it works for me now!! But how about having in the friends list, an online and offline section. Like the heading "ONLINE" then list all the online friends, and the heading "OFFLINE" and then list all offline friends. :) Good job!

I think I´ll just make the online people green and the offline red. That´ll be easier.

i re-downloaded it, and i don't recived any updates o.O
The Error, when i'll talk to anotherone is there, and nobody is green or red.

Some people may have missunderstood me.
I didn´t release a patch yet, I´m still doing on it. You will always be informed if there is an update (notice on startup) and it will be automatically downloaded if the update is important.

Ya the link isn't workin for me. Also did you use Visual Basic to make this? Because I was going to make a Messenger (not soldat related) a long time ago but this guy never told me if it was possible. So did you make it in Visual Basic?

I have personally made multi-chat programs and instant messengers in VB6, its very possible and easy to do.
Also, as a suggestion, instead of reinventing the wheel here with basic IM features, you could grab jabber client/server at www.jabber.org and then add soldat-specific features, that would easily speed up your productivity :)

Even if he wasn't to incorporate that, you could easily make it do it yourself with a registry edit. The same can be said for any program.

Thank you Plasma that site is very very hepful. But 1 question remains....I asked this guy if it was possible to make an Instant Messenger in VB he said "You'd need a central server" Would I need a central server or have to pay in any way?
Deleted User
May 25, 2005, 2:40 pm
Placing a program in the Start Menu>Programs>Startup folder makes it start on startup.
Read up on IMs, you usually need a central server (a place where all messages are sent to, then relayed) in order for IMs to work. Same with mostly anything.

I havent read all the posts but I have a suggestion.. This chat like irc that have allready been suggested a million times; and a built-in lobby server; some way for selfkill, u13, and soldatforums to announce news and stuff (maybe soldatevent? or anything else?); links to all the big soldatpages; built-in demo player; a way to invite your friends to a game without needing to typ that fking ip down and stuff..; i'll probably find some more things.
but what does this Dead thing on the first post mean? Is the prodject dead?

Sorry for bumping this old topic, but I just looked into it and saw some guys are still intrested in SFN.
Sorry for disappointing so many guys.
SFN is completley coded in AutoIt and PHP. If you want to have a look at the source, just tell me.
