@VooDoo

Don't know if this is any help, but all of Jahc's betas before he stopped developing WookieChat are at archive.org (latest was beta 15).

@klesterjr

thanx... testing last beta 15 now!

VooDoo: Are you connecting to one server at a time or several?

@Thematic

Several 4 or 5 .. Test last beta and the same.. After some time freezing

If I am not wrong the Wookiechat is now open sourced and someone started working on it fixing a few bugs. Unfortunately, there is still no updated release. Hope that we will see one soon.

Testing with only one server runing/connecting and again get freezing..

I hope in the near future a new update bug free version..

@VooDoo

It's stable on 3.9, but I'm having the same issue now running it on 4.1 Classic. Presumably something has been updated in the time since Jahc stopped development that Wookie doesn't like.

I have a couple of ideas. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

@klesterjr

For OS3.x dont know but on MOS using ver. 2.11 (02.01.2009) and works OK!

@VooDoo

Install the following updated libs:

http://aminet.net/dev/mui/MCC_NList-0.119.lha
http://aminet.net/dev/mui/MCC_TextEditor-15.45.lha
http://aminet.net/dev/mui/MCC_TheBar-26.15.lha

I don't know that ALL of them are needed, but they were all updated AFTER MUI4 was released and appear to be "MUI4 aware". After updating them, WookieChat seems to have stopped freezing my system.

EDIT: There is also an archive of "contributions" at the MUI4 dev site that appears to contain the same libs. I didn't compare versions, though.

http://muidev.de/download/MUI%204.0/MUI-4.0-2014R4-os4-contrib.lha

I had already installed this all libs..probably this is not a problem for me..

I will try test older Wookie version ..

After I install AmigaOS4.1 Final and update #1 Wookiechat is still freezing for me :(

Running ok, connect on some server and after 5 minuts freezing..

@VooDoo

I`ve notice a freeze (crash that you have to power off to restart) when joining channels with long string topics.
WookieChat 2.12 (27/09/2010) here running on Samm440Flex, 4.1FEu1

@Cass

the same here .. Wookie need update :) us anyone working on it ? Or need to using good old AmIRC

@VooDoo

You can try AOS4's AmiIRC (needs AmiIRC 3.5, then replace exec with os4depot one)

@jabirulo

Using it now :) But Wookie have Multiple server support ,that is what I like it..

@voodoo
AmIRC supports connection to multiple servers as well. There a button called "Connect Thread" at the select server window. First connect to a server, then open the server window from the list, select the second server and click on the "Connect Thread" button.

@walkero

But for any other server get running new window ?Or can see all opening server in one running AmIRC like in Wookie?

Thread

I am chasing the WookieChat crash/freeze myself now. It IS possible for WookieChat to run without crashing, because it was stable with a clean FE Update 1 install.

I made two changes and the crash is back.

1) Using the Font Prefs program I changed the WB font sizes & color (white) and added dropshadow to the desktop font.

2) Using the GUI Prefs program, I switched to the square window style theme.

These are the ONLY two changes to the out of the box install. Does anyone else (with the crash) use one or both of these settings?

If you check the wookiechat front page, jahc announces in April 2013 that he is not working on WookieChat any more. A WookieChat repository was set up at SourceForge in May 2013 by deadwood. There are MOS & AROS makefiles in the sources but no OS4 makefile. It's unclear if deadwood made changes to the sources before adding them to the repository but an interested programmer could check with him and try to get the code working for OS4 again.
