Wenn die Netzwerkverbindung unterbricht oder der Pichat-Server neu startet und ein Wiederverbinden (reconnect) stattgefunden hat, landet man normalerweise wieder in dem selben Chatraum in dem man vorher war. Nicht so bei passwortgeschützten Konferenzräume, da landet man wieder im Entrance.

ToDo: # check automatic reconnect with conference rooms (tell wolf)

if more than 30 (?) colorschemes loaded in the pichat server you get in the webchat $chat_alternate_stylesheets and you can not change the colorscheme.

it is a design limit in the parser
confirmed bug, will be fixed when needed :)

Workaround:
Decrease numbers of colorschemes and restart pichat

TEXT

→ Fixed in V.0.4.2 B68 … now pichat start as a “normal” Window

• if using a batchfile or a cmd command to start pichat you need the start command with the max option, because pichat starts only in the tasktray

start /max "pichat application" "C:\Program Files\pichat\pichat.exe"

→ Fixed in V.0.4.2 B67 … now it works http://localhost/chat/connect?nickname=xxx&startcommands=/say%20Hello%20World,%20/timestamp%20on

If using the parameter startcommands the default timestamp is deaktivated
if you type the command /timestamp on in the webchat it will displayed
[00:00] * * * Zeitmarkierung ein ( ⇐ the time is set to NULL)

Examples:

• http://localhost/chat/connect?nickname=xxx&startcommands=/say%20Hello%20World
• http://localhost/chat/connect?nickname=xxx&startcommands=/timestamp%20on

Workaround since Version 0.4.2 B66

• http://localhost/chat/connect?nickname=xxx&startcommands=/echo+setsilent+timestamp

The following command do not work in pichat V.0.4.2 B58 → Fixed in V.0.4.2 B59

pichat.exe -ContactGroup1="Default, c:\data\pichat_contacts.ini"

→ Fixed in V.0.4.2 B68 … now it is possible to save datas int the pichat_contacts.ini-file if using this option
