Next release will be maintenance, so only fixes. New features will be subject of next development cycle.

Hi Jiri,

I have Win7 Home 64bit and the installer worked without error to the default location.

The shortcuts you listed also work fine as does resizing.

I just have a few suggestions below the following pic: (please see below pic)

The scroll bar on the left is difficult to see when moved to the center of the vertical slider. Perhaps you could shade the scroll bars a bit to enhance the slider.

Also, Some of the buttons look out of place. The oval and round buttons especially. It just looks like they need to be sized just a little smaller. This would give HL a much cleaner look IMHO. (I tried viewing this in various sizes and it does not change the look of the buttons.)

Lastly, perhaps you could reword the sizes to better fit todays screen resolutions of 1920x1080 and so forth. It may make it easier for people to understand.

Thank you for all your work over the years Jiri.

I downloaded the beta 3.I installed it on my w2k machine with no problems and it appears to be working fine.I did have to redo my friends list.(luckily I had a backup from 3.9.111)

I then tried to install it on my W7 Ultimate 32 bit machine.At the end of the install it gave 2 "unknown error ,quitting" messages.The shortcut icon was on the desktop and the Hyperlobby.exe was in the Hyperlobby client folder in the programs folder on the c drive.However when I click on either the shortcut on the actual exe I get a runtime 53 error.File not found.

Hello Coastie

The scrollbar will be problem, current development enviroment not giving me any choices. Missplacement of images are known in Windows 7 64 and ill have look at it. Its not missplaced only there are unwanted border over the image. Can you try if this problem persist aleso with other skins ? Current version of HL includes two other skins ...

BTW i sent you a pm regarding topic from 1c foum.

Hello, I have never used HL before, I downloaded the regular version on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit but I had the problem with the two missing files.
Later on I read that the new version supported 64bits so I subscribed here and downloaded it. It all seemed to work properly, but at the end two boxes popped up saying, "error, quitting"...After the installer closed another box opened saying "Run-time error 429; you do not have an appropriate license to use this functionnality".

Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Hi Jiri.

I have Win7/64, and work fine. (HL ver.: 3.9.119).
(HL install, custom skins, window resize, hlpro.fls edit, rooms, join, ect. - all ok)
Great job, thank you.

I copied my friends list from the old 3.9.111 to the new beta 3.But when online they do not show and I have to add them again.

The OS is w2k.

Thanks for the response Jiri.

The other skins do clean up the buttons. But to be honest, I don't like them. I like the original theme much better!

I will check my pm's in the other forum.

Have you tried turning UAC off and running both the install and HL as admin?

Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2010 2:26 pm

I copied only the file content, and its working on my pc.
(open the hlpro.fls in Program files/Hyperlobby folder, type /f in HL chat line, open the new hyperlobby.fls file, and copy the content).

I actually did just copy and paste the content from the old to the new.Maybe I forgot to save.It is there now and I will wait and when a friend comes on line what happens.
