some extra's in pm

Post by dj_ascent » 2004-01-28 05:10

ok this is not really needed in this type of app ,

but ppl are talking to each other a lot more in dc hubs.

So how about adding webcam and audio chat to the pm windows

it would not use any hub bandwidth as the pms are directly connected to each others ip's and i think it would help bring the community's on dc++ closer together


loads of ppl proberbly think this is an awfull idea but thats why off buttons where invented.

Well.. Personally i think you should use a program dedicated to this.. =) because with the current protocol it isn't possible.. You see, PM's are not at all "directly connected to each other's ip", but go through the hub, like most communication. So in order to achive something like this, you first need a new protocol to handle p2p-PM's..

i thought that the hub just passed on the ip address to the other client
at which point thay would talk directly client to client after ports had been negotiated.

i must have been misinformed .. Grrr hehe


but i still think its a good idea

theres no point in adding this, I mean there's already plenty of external applications which will do this, and probably alot better then dc++ ever would (as I doubt enough time would be spent on a feature that even yourself think alot of people wont like)
