MSN stopped working here too. People on the other side see me logging in and out repeatedly. Searching to see if others have a problem didn't find anything but I don't see how it would be OS/2 specific.

SIM for OS2 used to work fine.. but now can not connect to hotmail any longer.. message is: SIM-IM: 27/01/2009 16:09:45 [DBG] Socket error Bad packet id (0)

Hey eros, I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a build of the Development version (0.9.5) with the July 2008 ICQ Hotfix. This version of SIM allows AIM users to send messages, something that has been broken for me and many others for a while under SIM.

Thanks!
Brett

This is a great job, thanks! The only thing I see that doesn't quite do what it should, with Yahoo, is that the icons (smilies) don't seem to translate over to the Yahoo side and vice versa. But I can live without those, it's great to be able to get back on IM and do it from eComStation!

2 Anonymous: this err is normal, and not related to filetransfer.

May be you just firewalled? Anyway, filetransfer never works for me with any other ICQ client also, so I just not worrying about it.

Sure, Qt not related to filetransfer. For example, in Psi/2, which also uses Qt, filetransfer works for me when sender not firewalled.

So, you should look to your network setup. But again, filetransfer with ICQ never works for me with any ICQ client (under Windoze also).

Here is a little bit of my log.txt:
SIM-IM: 10/07/2007 10:06:54 [DBG] Load plugin __hdir
SIM-IM: 10/07/2007 10:06:54 [ERR] Can't get pwd
So, what is wrong? File transfer does not work for me (tranfer bar appears, but transfer don´t starts), may be some relations?
Something similar (inability to save file to disc) happens to me with Valknut P2P client, which is compiled with Qt, I thing, too. Transfer dialog appears...and nothing. Some relations?

2 Delfi_r: I think yes, as Q DVD Author uses Qt version 3.xx, which is fully functional under OS/2.

Thanks for the comment in my blog.

Now a question: Qt it's partially available, so Q DVD Author could be ported? it's a GUI for DVD Autor that's already ported by Paul Smedley.

2007-05-20T06:21:29.840+03:00

Well, thats a little bit annoying. It doesn't seem like they know why exactly it is happening? In any case, I was talking with Marty Mamodeo (Mr.Message/2) and he has given up Mr.Message and his GAIM port. Would you be interested in tackling Mr.Message/2 or helping me to try? I cant program, but I am willing to try and I want to contribute something..

2 Brett: yes, SIM jumbles contacl list if you use more than one account. You may look to related bugs.

2007-05-17T01:30:36.028+03:00

SIM seems to have played with my buddylist that is stored on the Oscar server. My buddies are not arranged as they should be, all my alerts are gone, and my profile gets wrecked. Is this just a side-effect of using SIM?

Your mail server has a problem ? Or is there another way I can use ?

2007-03-25T15:45:57.254+03:00

It seems to work. But whenever I play sound file in Setup/Sound, SIM crash. BTW, sound examples works fine. I'm afraid I cannot confirm what the problem is now. Anyway I'll send my patches to you(eros2 at os2.ru).

2007-03-25T13:28:05.972+03:00

komh, cool!

To work with SIM, Qt must be built with such setup:

--------------
Enter a base name for the Qt DLL:

>>> simqt3

Select the Qt library debug level:

1) Release (no debug information)
2) Debug

>>> [12] 1

Enable or disable optional Qt library modules
(pressing Enter will accept the current selection):

1) Network [X]
2) Workspace [ ]
3) Iconview [ ]
4) Table [ ]
5) Canvas [ ]
6) XML [ ]

>>> [123456/Enter]
--------------

So, Name: simqt3, Modules: only Network.

If this not helps, mail me and send your Qt patches, I'll build it.

I seem to fix DBCS problem both input and output. But partially input. So I want to test your SIM with my patch, however it would not start with mine. How can I make SIM work with mine ?

2007-03-22T17:33:50.634+02:00

Thanks for your infos. If so, I would look into Qt/2 expecting better result. ^^

2007-03-22T17:06:35.306+02:00

2 komh: I just talked with dmik (who ported Qt) and he told DBCS unsupported in Qt/2.

See: http://svn.netlabs.org/qt3/ticket/28

And discussion here: http://svn.netlabs.org/qt3/ticket/25

So, there no chance to make DBCS working until Qt/2 will be improved.

2007-03-22T14:48:19.791+02:00

2 komh: please test, if windows or linux version supports DBCS, to be sure if there no problem with SIM itself. If windoze or linux version work well with DBCS - then mail me, we will determine which part of SIM/2 lacks DBCS support - Qt library or something other and we will see what we can do with this.

2007-03-22T14:35:09.363+02:00

This is very attractive. But it seems not to support DBCS. Do you have a plan to support DBCS ?
