Title: msn intergration
Post by rebel_blaidd on 09/22/03 at 15:11:56

hey i was jus thinking today it would be cool if nightmist could integrate msn into it somehow msn is written in vb as far as i know i think nm is too unless something has changed and i think it would jus be cool as u could have your friends from nightmist talkin to you on msn and stuff

MSN is crap. It lags me too much.

I believe MSN messenger is written in .net which is a variation of vb. Whether its possible or not it doesn't fit into the interests of the game. If you want to talk to non-nightmist people, then use a separate client.

i used to play graal alot and they had a rather nifty messenger for the game. it looked a little like the old icq but had a little less function to it. anyways, it was a seperate window with a list of everyone online and messages sent from person to person appeared in little chat-client-like windows and was kind of well done really. maybe i just remember it well because it was one of the few well done parts of that game, but it was sort of nifty and if nightmist were to have something of the sort i think it be a good thing.

I don't like the idea, it would make Nightmist hog up resources. And it would create lag i would imagine.

Edit: MSN is programmed with vb.net and a sql like language. Quite bizarre.

Wouldn't it be difficult to program in? as you would have to make MSN work with the NM server?

nope, msn wouldn't even know the nm server existed, the nm client just talks to the msn api's just like the msn client does, and that talks to the msn server.
