Tyka beta v0.98
- The Server Edition can now be used to register new accounts and immediately add server names. This eliminates the need for manually submitting the server names.
- Hopefully fixed all of the connection problems some users were having. If someone is still joining problems, please send a mail to tygernoot@tyka.net !
- Fixed the problem where server names longer than 20 characters could not log in using the Server Edition.
- Fixed the problem where the sessions (practice, qualify, race) weren't correctly displayed in the room list.
- Fixed the problem where users could join a passworded chat room by pressing ESC in the password window.
- Fixed the problem where a logout message would appear in the chat without any username.
- PrivateQualifying setting in ARCA's multiplayer.ini is no longer overwritten to a default value by Tyka.
- The PM system has been redesigned and now supports the users' chat colours.
- All the users and rooms that are online in Tyka are now listed on the website. Check it out here. It is still pretty basic, but in the future this will be updated with more detailed information.
- (ARCA/rF dedicated) Added 'Message Of The Day' option
- (ARCA/rF dedicated) Added yellow flags option
- (GTR2 dedicated) Added Mismatch Report option
Tyka beta v0.97
New in beta version 0.97:
- Added multiple chatroom support. It is now possible to create your own chatrooms (either open or with a password). You can easily switch between the rooms you're currently in by clicking the room name.
- Send setups through the client. By right-clicking on a user and selecting Send Setup a menu pops up. This menu allows you to easily browse and search through all of your game profiles for all games, and to send the setup to another user in one click. The setup is directly placed in the user's game folder and both users are notified whether the setup was successfully sent / received. If this feature is unwanted, there's a preference to switch off the ability to receive setups.
- The server edition of Tyka is now available. This version allows hosting more than one dedicated server through Tyka. It is freely available, but some information has to be supplied in order to use it. You need only one user login, which will be linked to multiple 'server'-accounts. I require the name of the user and the amount of accounts you would like to have (each account can host one dedicated server). For more information, read here.
- Added a newsflash window. This window will show important information upon login, no longer making it required to always read the forum for the latest news updates. If unwanted, it can be switched off in the preferences.
- The ports for dedicated rooms on our server are now set differently so that everyone should be able to join again.
- Some small bugfixes (updated the gamescanner to remove comments that are possibly behind cars, PM tab sometimes wouldn't blink while being in the room tab, the chatroom info now shows when logging in, ...)
Tyka beta v0.95
New in beta version 0.95:
- our server has been moved to a new location where we enjoy amazing bandwidth (fiberglass connection!)
- updated autoupdate: it will download the latest version of Tyka, but only install it once the user clicks the OK button. This gives the user enough time to read the update information
- auto sort drivers list option: if this option is switched on, Tyka will alphabetically order the drivers list whenever a drivers enters the lobby
- added Ctrl+C shortcut to copy text from the chat
- added refresh button to the browser tab
- enabled the multi-core option in the Tyka preferences for all users (to take advantage of multi-core processors in rFactor and ARCA). The multi-core check by Tyka has been removed for as it only worked on Intel CPUs
- Tyka now supports the use of more than one in-game profile (i.e. the in-game name no longer has to match your Tyka's username). All in-game profiles are found when setting the profile and the user can switch between them.
- the user profiles are now correctly shown for the non-F1RST3 people (those that registered after the transfer of the F1RST3 userbase)
- (ARCA) support for the latest ARCA version (1128b)
Tyka beta v0.93
- (rFactor) Added Parc Ferme option
- (rFactor) Added forced view setting and mismatching options in non-dedicated rooms (view no longer forced to trackside)
- (server) Updated the server module, possibly fixing server module crashes (but needs testing). The server module isn't completely stable yet and might crash again in the future. This problem is being worked on.
