[HELP] Ascent Rev Issues

[shobuu]

Alright, well.. I've been using Rev 1497 for a while now and it's only problems I encountered are some individual random disconnects of members, the queue position 0 error (?), and the GM_Debug thing. Slightly minor problems, until the new update to 2.2.0. This update featured a new way to join channels, if I'm correct. You would simply press the 'O' key and select the 'Chat' tab at the bottom of the 'Social' window. There you would join channels and etc etc...

Yes, very thrilling, but this feature didn't seem to work with Rev 1491. So thus, I upgraded to multiple revs such as 1657, 1722, and 1733. 1657 would seem to work, but still the chat channel feature still didn't work. I was able to log in successfully though, but when I entered, I couldn't use any GM commands such as !gmon and !announce. I did NOT try using the value 'a' in my accounts table, but I would think the same outcome would turn up. I used 1722 and 1733 and both were unsuccessful. I was unable to get passed the loading screen (which loaded quite fast..).

So far, my only attempts to solve this was updating the DBC folder and adding the latest SQL updates. I'm quite mad that I'm unable to help people through LookingForGroup chat and others aren't either while I am away and often have to 'yell' to get messages relayed to each other. (Only two main places to be.. but still.) I also get tired of helping people in 'whisper' when they often do stack up a LOT.

So, what could be the solution to this problem?

Note: I'm using a customized party database mixed with some other databases such as Life, TNDB, and NCDB with added fixes with an NCDB 0.2 database.

chat may not work in the current ones, for some reason, i dont know why, but it doesn't
ascent still hasn't made their revs ready for that yet.

.... u knows, u kan just use ventrillo or sumthin

the in-game thing sounds great, but, i still liek spamming random noisez when it gets 2 loud in mah vent server

Yeah, but LFG chat is like 'the thing' in all the servers I go to and I want my players to feel 'the thing' so they'll be comfortable like at home. ;D

And I KNOW the chat channels thing has been implemented some way, because of this..

# Channels Setup

#    These directives control some of the aspects in the channel system.
#
#    BannedChannels
#         If you would like to ban users from creating or joining a channel specify them here in a ';'
#         seperated list.
#         Default: ""
#
#    GeneralChannels
#         These are the default channels that the client joins and cannot have leaders.
#         Default: "General -;Trade -;LookingForGroup;GuildRecruitment;LocalDefense;WorldDefense;"

In 1722 (or so) and up. I'm not completely sure, but this should work around it. Vent is optional... but I'd rather have LFG for those without microphones. I had to use mine from my Wii 'Boogie' game. =.=
