could we set up somewhere like a page for known hack conflicts and fixes.

i.e. /me hack refuses to work with the shoutbox hack

lasto · #2 03-25-2004, 01:51 PM

that i never knew

yeah and another bug is the /you hack refuses to work without the /me hack cause the /girlfriend hacks steps in and ruins it all

yeah sounds a good idea that SabretOOthe - do u mean they conflict on vb3 gold though ?

I'm sure they would work with a bit of jugging about

However I don't use the /me hack thats release here or the shoutbox. If you mean that the /me action doesn't work inside the shoutbox then I don't think thats a conflict but my design (of the /me hack at least).

It has my support, but who would maintain it?

it causes the shoutbox to stop accepting shouts all together

the hacks, it would be a bit like the bugs page over at vb.com (in working, i.e. could easily be done thru the forums) where someone submits a bug, it gets confirmed, and then a fix is offered, by a member or one of the hack authors.

The developers of the hack where the problem resides. If for instance in this case, the /me hack won't work in conjunction with the shoutbox hack then the authors of those hacks should collaborate together to make it work.

I believe it would be best if the relevant hack threads includes this information so that you can find everything about a hack in one place. For instance if you caught such a conflict, you can post it to the hack's thread with a title bug or conflict and then someone who searches in the thread with that keyword can easily list all conflicts.

Posts about conflicts and stuff are still scattered around though, it'd be best to keep it in one separate place.
