Hi Peeps  

For all those of you using the LINK feature on the GUI

dont forget to replace the  .exe file with this updated one

Xsthetic-SetupGUI-V8.01.zip



Heres some info about using the LiNK feature

E.G  3 hubs in a Network.. ( could be more )

hub 1  ( main Hub for the Network )
hub 2
hub 3

In this example Hub 1 will be set up as the Server Hub..

Load up the GUI attached to Hub 1
Click the  Link Hubs  tab

set hub 1 in the Server setting at the top

Server Hub Addy....  is the Addy/IP of the hub
Port..... Is the Port the hub is running on
Bot Password.... The password the Bot will need to log in to the other Hubs
Chat Prefix..... The name of the Hub where the Text has been typed to display in all linked hubs so you know where the user is chatting from

now set the other two hubs up the same continuing down the list.

The ' Enable Controlled Redirects ' will Take the hub addys of all linked hubs and change the redirect addy of the server hub to each in turn for 1 min Cycling through all hubs then starting again.


Now click the Link Filters Tab

Set a Bot name for your LINK in the     Link Bot's Name    Box

Use the filters to block any Unwanted text being sent to the other Hubs

Now Register the  Link Bots Name in all hub as Operator..

Click the Save Button  ... and exit and close the GUI


Hub2  and Hub3  should NOT Have the Same  Link Bot's Name as the server set in there GUI's
use any random string of letters in their link bot's names




Reload the gui  on Hub 1 ( it will now start the connecting Sequence )

it will link to Hub 1 ( server ) first.  when it has established a connection with the server hub it will then go on to connect to all the other linked hubs..

You can confirm connection to the server by clicking the  Link Filters tab on the gui, the ' Hub Bot's Name ' box should now contain the same name as the Hub Bot name set in Ptokax..



if using the redirect feature  the hub owner and net admin will get a pm from the link bot confirming all linked hubs and curent redirect addy.



I hope this helps a few Confused ppl

Hi Peeps

If Using PX 16.05  OR Lower you MUST DISABLE the

" Show User Info On Log In "  Button  found on the GUI's Security Page


OR Update Your Ptokax

Hi ??????Hawk?????? im wondering if its possible to add text to the entry message ? Meaning when people join a hub they see text saying     type !cmds to display the Fun commands and     type !help  to display the Hub commands. I would like to add others there if possible :) just an idea for the new FreshStuff you have added.


Thnx for a great script and keep up the great work

I dont think i will be adding Dynamic Hub Share  unless more ppl request it ..
i think it is Unfair..
E.G  a user log in and starts a download then tries to get in again to finish it and finds the min share of the hub is Now to high...  
Very Annoying for the user..

Cheers

Exeption EInOutError in module XN-Install-V8.00LUA5.exe at 00021222.I/O error 32.

Sorry m8  ive never used  Win 2k3  

Maby someone else in here could throw some light on it  ...

[kepp]

Thanks hawk for telling, i din't realise the issue!!
BUT, everything can be fixed you know ;)

[??????Hawk??????]

Hi peeps...

Ive had 2  reports of the GUI havin a virus attached...

only  McAfee picks something up with the file and reports it as W32/Kelvir.worm.f

The File is  Clean  and would have be thrown off the host a long time ago if infected...

 from the  McAfee Web site  :-

" This is a generic detection   covering certain W32/Kelvir.worm variants (such as W32/Kelvir.worm.f ).

" Generic Checking "   PMSL  What they going to do next???  Delete ALL .exe files Just incase they contain a virus ????

Any way  i suggest you move to a firewall that checks for actual viruses rather than doing GENERIC checks..


 :P  :P  :P  :P

Have fun Peeps  :))

Heya Peeps  ..  ok  after 30 mins Talking to McAfee's  " Supposed Live Chat "    i have  emailed them all the  GUI source and the compiled exe's  for them to  Exclude in all Future  Updates  ..  

I hope it dosnt cause you too many problems  ..  

I dont use McaFee ( and probably never will now )  but maby there is a way you can Exclude files and allow the gui to run  ..

Can Any One confirm this pls  ?????

if not then you will just have to disable it  while you alter any script settings..

Cheers

??????Hawk??????

* * * EDIT * * *
The reported Virus is spread Via  MSN  NOT  files ..   hehehehe

[????r?h??k]

Guys n Girls...

On a personal note, may i state that i have never had a message about any worm/virus within XN... however when hawk showed me the Mcaffee detection stuff i was quite suprised to see the immortal words GENERIC DETECTION...meaning in earthling language errrrr ummmmm well we think it MIGHT be a virus!!!!!

i would also like to point out that i personally have known hawk, and ran hubs alongside him, although within a different network for a good many years now, and i would use his creations without any hesitation....i think everyone else should also consider the great service record this guy has to the DC community in General before anyone points fingers and starts a witch hunt here...

There, now thats off my chest....

thanks Hawk, and keep up the good work

Chunk  :))

[k3?M?T?]

hi only me ,

i would also like to concer with ????r?h??k,

ive been usin xn now for a while now and have never encountered any problems . even being on the test team .

i think people should find out the facts before speading malicious rumours regardin virus's

i too wouldn't  think twice about using any of hawks works


hope this is helpful to those none believers

[suzanne]

Ive also been using Hawks scripts for a while now and i love his scripts and thank u to Hawk for the work u put into them peeps need to stop spreading horrid rumours and find out all facts first before being malicous ......... keep up the good work Hawk x

[SABRE-TOOTH]

I would also like to show my support..... If these scripts had these attached viruses i am more than 100% sure the pc system would show it..... And after using hawks scripts from near the beggining with no flaws or mass problems i am more that 110% happy with what i have running. THESE SCRIPTS ROCK!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK HAWK AND THANKS AGAIN :)

[bastya_elvtars]

People who are afraid of viruses shouldn't use Mcaffee and Norton.

[ItsMeDDp]

ok after serious investigations it would appear that mcafee may have made a serious mistake in detecting exthetic gui as infected with virus ! will post final explanation from macafee once it is receved.

there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

for thouse of you who dont use mcafee please ignore this post,  i have run the gui through 5 other virus scanners and they all report it to be ok.
Also i am still running the exthetic but without the gui. and it all works a treat with no other issues many thanx for you patence and understanding and many thanx hawk for looking into this as quicky as you did.
