Poll

Hey guys,

I’ve just thrown up a quick poll over on the Polls page. I’d appreciate it if you could just go over and submit which version of OS X you’re using.

Thanks!

XBlaze 0.8.5

Hey guys,

Just released XBlaze 0.8.5.

This release fixes a crash upon creation of a new account when using Adium 1.2.0.
It also contains some icon and games list updates.

If you made any changes to your macgames.txt file then I suggest you back it up before upgrading as it’ll get overwritten.

XBlaze 0.8.4

Hey guys, 0.8.4 is available for download. This release includes the fix for disconnecting and reconnecting again without problems.

The issue was that the Buddy List wasn’t being deleted properly on disconnect. But that’s all in the past now. Thanks to Jordan, (Xfire Plus) for helping me track this one down.

Head on over to the download page to grab it.

New Icons and xfire_games.ini (Again!)

Once again, I’ve repackaged XBlaze 0.8.3 with the latest icon and xfire_games.ini files. Hit the downloads page to get it.

(Just download, mount the DMG and double click the plugin to re-install. After that your icons and xfire_games.ini should be up to date).

As a side note, those who have customised their macgames.txt files, you should back it up before downloading and reinstalling the plugin if you don’t want it over written. Sorry about that…

New Icons and xfire_games.ini

I just repackaged xblaze 0.8.3 with the latest icons and xfire_games.ini from Xfire.
Head on over to the downloads page to get it.

Xblaze 0.8.3

Hey guys got a new release for you today.

You’ll be happy to know that this release fixes the annoying 256 buddy limit bug. You should all direct your thanks to Jordan Toor (gammasts) of Xfire Plus for this fix

Head on over to the download page to get your hands on it.

Remember, don’t hesitate to contact me if you require help.

XBlaze on Leopard

Hey guys,

Just thought I’d mention that I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard yesterday, and I can confirm that XBlaze is working (for me at least). If you have any trouble, or questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.

I’ll think about putting up some screenshots of XFlame (a standalone Mac OS X XFire Client) in the near future. Hopefully I’ll make a little progress.
So far, XFlame can do basically everything that XBlaze can do and somethings that XBlaze can’t (like nickname changing). It doesn’t require Adium to run.

I’m working on getting an ‘info-view’ kinda thing working that will display some additional info about a buddy, like their avatar icon, a link to their profile, etc.

As a footnote, I installed XCode 3.0 along with Leopard and it’s taking some getting used to. Apple changed the way a few things work, so I’m still getting to know my way around the new XCode and Interface Builder.

XBlaze 0.8.2.1

XBlaze 0.8.2.1 has just been uploaded.

This fixes the connection issue that has recently started happening.
I also included an updated xfire_games.ini and icon files as a treat.

Fixed!

HUZZAH! It was just a simple IP change. I’ve updated the plugin (and the standalone) and everything seems to be working. I’ll get the plugin uploaded ASAP.

Just as I begin making progress with the standalone client, I find out that a recent Xfire Update has somehow broken XBlaze.
I’m not 100% on the details just yet, but it would seem that Xfire have changed something on their end that is preventing XBlaze from connecting. I’ll talk to the XFireLib team and see if they know anything.
I’ll keep you posted.

Back from Atlanta!

Hey guys, I’m back from atlanta, as the title suggests.
Unfortunately my internet connection at home is down and has been for a while. I’m typing this on my iPod touch at university.

I just want to make it known that I am making some progress with the standalone xfire client, and a beta should be in the works soon.

Btw, the iPod touch is awesome. :)
