Posted Mar 19, 2007 at 11:08PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Homebrew Applications Tags: AFKIM, danzel, psp homebrews, WPA

Danzel has released a new version of him messaging service application known as AFKIM. AFKIM v3 comes in two forms and has a lot of new features and fixes that we're sure you'll all like.

Here are the list of changes and fixes since AFKIM v2:

Version 3:

Much better, more usable program.
Works in OE kernel, DHCP ONLY CURRENTLY, not sure why static IP address doesn't work.
Faster display rendering (Keyboard lags less)
Better wifi handling - User can rechoose which to connect to if connecting fails.
Better menu system, lots more menu items.

Away / Back
Remove Account
Reconnect to Wifi (No more quitting AFKIM to reconnect! yay)
Get Buddy Details
Rename Buddy
Block/Unblock Buddy
Delete Buddy

Fixes related to pressing buttons, menus now continue scrolling if you hold up or down.
Better connection handling.
Many many code cleanups
Fix memory leaks (introduce a new known one)

Version 2+:

Quit option.
Ability to use start as well as X to go buddy select -> chat.
FIX: Editing text box with space messes up display.
FIX: Account details don't save sometimes.

Version 3 also two versions, according to Danzel:

An Experimental OE version, tested in game310 folder with OE 3.10', seems to not work in 3.03.

The OE Version works with WPA connections, you must use automatic network configuration however (DHCP)

A 1.5 Version, tested in game150 folder on OE 3.10'.

Give it a try, and let us know how you like it. Enjoy!

@ich - if you use WPA then use the OE version, you will also need to use automatic IP assignment.

Otherwise if you are using WEP/Open/Static IP then the 1.5 version should work fine.

@me - say "blist off" in the server window and it will tell you, but other than that no.

# because — danzel 2007-03-20 09:29

Because I don't have an IR keyboard to test it with yet.

Check the readme, its in the FAQ

Otherwise, I'm keen.

# READ — rc_square24 2007-03-20 10:47

Read the friggin README

# is the æ,ø,å bug gone? — Guest 2007-03-20 11:50

i'm norwegian, and we have funny letters, when people write to me using those letters, half their sentences disappear.. unicode would be nice :)

# Coming soonish. — danzel 2007-03-20 11:51

I would of got em in but I hurt my wrist a week ago, so I haven't been doing much coding the last week.

PDA Keyboard will come once I get one myself, the other bits are already on the todo list ;)

You can already change the font if you replace the included font.ttf file, I haven't tryed it myself but it should just work.

Try it and tell me how it goes, my email address is in the readme ;)

# awesome — Guest 2007-03-20 12:02

I used AFKIM v2 alot... like seriously... a ton, and now that v3 is out, the improvements are just great, I especially like the more responsive danzeff keyboard input, and all the new away and buddy options. But since I use it alot, I'm still waiting on the PDA keyboard support XD, that would make everything a whole lot easier. Keep up the good work with this awesome program!

# Help plz — Guest 2007-03-20 12:26

How would i add a contact?...the add feature dont work.

btw i use the OE version

# . — danzel 2007-03-20 12:43

There is theoretical unicode support.

Replace the font.ttf with a font with full unicode characters then in the server window say:

set charset utf-8

That might do it... I haven't tested this much so possibly not.

You could also try "set charset unicode" maybe.

# contacts. — danzel 2007-03-20 12:50

The add feature is to add your messaging accounts.

Once you have added your messaging account (say your msn account) your online contacts from that messaging account will be shown in the right hand side list.

To add buddies just add them on your desktop client, this will come to AFKIM in a future version.

# nice app — SONY_USA 2007-03-20 13:22

intresting...

# works like crap! — Guest 2007-03-20 15:14

# heyz — Guest 2007-03-20 22:43

i get to the screen says no bitlbee name lets make 1

what do i do there? i already have an msn account

# . — danzel 2007-03-20 23:07

A bitlbee account is different to your msn account.

Create a bitlbee account by entering some new details (like: vinny/somepassword) then you will get connected and be able to add your msn account.

Check out the getting started guide linked to in the readme, it explains all this and will get you going :)

# add — Guest 2007-03-21 00:51

Thanx Danzel

# I is asking — Guest 2007-03-21 02:35

yo people outthere could somebody of you say me that is it supported to ICQ???

# keyboard — Guest 2007-03-21 04:35

Well now with the latest ability to use a keyboard with the psp headset jack as a serial port, we won't all need to go out and buy a ir keyboard. The serial keyboard will be great just for around the house and stuff, but for mobile a ir keyboard is the way to go. I plan to use the Ir keyboard and setup a notes program for college so I don't have to take my laptop in, just a psp and a little pda keyboard. Also save my books on the psp :)

# ICQ — danzel 2007-03-21 09:16

Yes it is.

# lkj — Guest 2007-03-21 11:44
