Orion IRC Services News

Hey folks,

I had to update the SVN version again (if you want to download the services, please chose the SVN version, the others are too old atm - i will update them as soon as possible)

I corrected 2 Bugs today concerning inspircd2.x protocol (inspircd's internal protocol version 1202) there was a problem with the Nick registration mode and the voice perfix in their so called FJOIN statement (thanks for BaCkBoNe for contacting me xD)... read more

Hey folks,

Since it seems too hard to download the UCP from the orion sourceforge SVN I added it as a "orionucp" pack to the orion project (here) in the download section too...

Have a nice time.. (and read the README before asking questions that are already answered by the README.. it's really annoying if you tell 20 people a day the same shit)

Regards, shock

Hey folks,

Finally i updated the packs again, because i know you were all waiting for them ;) Sooo orion2.9.2 finally out now!

Have fun, shock

Hey guys and grils,

I updated orion2.9 today because i coded silly shit some time ago and "derchiller" found it out for me so i was able to correct it ^^

So thanks to "derchiller"

And if you or others find more bugs, please report them - if you have an idea how to fix them tell me your way of doing it and send me the patches please ;)

greetings shock

greets shock

Hey guys i updated SVN and packages ov rc1.2 once again, because Dustin told me about a few compile bugs (i am sry that there occur so many bugs, even on compile..) that's in fact cauze i am alone atm .. no one really helps me programming...

so hey .. i am looking for nice guys to help me a little bit out =D (somebody interested!?... -> email me)

greets shock

Updated SVN and Zips to the new version (rc1.2) cauze a user told me that the version from SVN is buggy and not compileable.

I am very sry for that =/ - as ever ut was my fault so i fixed it, and hope you have fun with it again :>

greets shock

Yeah guys... no one was able to develop threads very well - but we are =) - We have already a thread-safe version running in our development center, it will be developed further in the next weeks and in ~3 weeks i would say you will be able to run a complete threadsafe/modular/live-mysql-based version on you IRC Network...

This makes us to the leading services development group =).

So look forward :>,

greets shock ;)

Added new Release "orion2.8-alpha.rc2.2" (up to date by now) and updated SVN - many files were deleted and others were added!
THERE IS NO COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN "orion2.8-alpha.rc2.1" and "orion2.8-alpha.rc2.2", you can't transfer modules from the old to the new version (without big changes!)

It's highly recommanded to update to the new version from SVN or package "orion2.8-alpha.rc2.2"!!... read more
