Is there an esier way to install it with firefox, like an addon?
works with demo licence?
#78 - ekze
MRubio, yes
because of the encoding thing:
please send me infos which codes are used for which characters, so i can implement them in the next version.
please also tell me which browser you are using, because some browsers might encode in a different way...

eg.:
%7C ==> |
%23 ==> #
I wonder if it'll ever work with Google Chrome?
Hello.
I have installed Windows 7 RC1, and I m using LFS Demo which works fine.

I have problem with instalation Join2LFS, which consistantly shows me the message:
"Could not register URL link."

Could someone tell me how to fix the problem?

Thanx

Edit: Problem solved

It registers lfs:// handle in system, so it isn't dependent on browser.

doesn't work in Chrome

Then Google is doing it really wrong.
well, now Join2LFS is the next free tool I get into it a bit moder. The beta works fine for me but I'll check that Chrome thing!

I also but Launcher in the tool and some settings...

So be patient. There will be a new version later on!
new beta of Join2LFS 2 is there!
[link removed for now]
hmmm...well. me for sure did no trojana...
gonna chek that...

think i take that download off for that while...
it might be possible that those are just false positives... some AVs work by checking for certain strings in files... it's rare, but it happens. i've seen some cases where an AV would remove important windows files.
well, here on my laptop is everything fine...
On my develop machine too...

I'm using currently Avia AntiVir personal

Well, because I can't find a virus and me for sure haven't created one here is the downloadlink again:
Download Join2LFS 2.1 beta

I confirm, scanned with AVG and it's clean... BUT:

Vista 64 + Firefox 3.5.3: Not working.

Not a big deal for me as it's only my server... old version run like a charm on my game PC running XP and IE.

I just post the error message to flag the problem.
Cant do the fix of Ripley, LFS and JOIN2LFS doent appear in the list of applications under option menu.

This forum this link:

lfs://|^1Rs^01 ^7Demo|0|S2|/
to
lfs://%7C%5E1Rs%5E01%20%5E7Demo%7C0%7CS2%7C/

It doent look to be firefox that do encoding because on this page http://www.airio.eu/Servers.aspx
property of same link shows:
lfs://|^1Rs^01%20^7Demo|0|S2|/
still under firefox... (Web server/forum does the encoding ?)

mucho problemo !

Good luck with the encoding CrazyICE.

FIX FOUND for VISTA !!!
Under Vista: right click on Join2Lfs file, properties , compatibility tab, privilege level option: check to run it as an Administrator.
Which version did you download? The 2.1 beta shouldn't be doing that anymore.
i cant get it to work :/

i just get invalid command line when i click join

EDIT: problem solved
Oh well... not easy under Vista 64.

Had to uninstall version 1.4
Cleanup my registry (regedit)
install 2.1
set it to run as admin


Now it see my link of server Rs1 Demo on this page:
http://www.airio.eu/Servers.aspx

as Rs1%20Demo because of the colors in name.

everything start, but then LFS dont find the server because of the %20 in the name.

Same problem on this forum with totaly different encoding due to forum, still get %20 in the name.

So ^01 ^7 result in %20 and result as an unknown server.

Have fun.


Added:
Pffffff !!!
Guess what, it work with iExplo and Vista (who see it with %20) but not work with Firefox wich shown it WITHOUT the %20 but then add it when join2LFS start.

So if the browser shos the %20 in status bar it work, if not it dont.

Vista64 + Firefox combo is really hard to make join2LFS work. I guess in all other cases it work fine.

Enough for today...
good news...
from patch Z26 up lfs join links will be handled by lfs itself...
so, join2lfs will get gratuitous.

so, if you encounter some problems with the lfs:// links uding join2lfs just update to patch Z26!
Thats the end of a very useful program, it's sad hehe
we'll see...
...Or the final "official" acknowledgement of its usefulness.
