Slitherine

how can i convince the tool to remember my identity and password? it used to work this way before i had to re-install windows vista...

It should store it in your Documents\Slitherine\SysTray directory IIRC. Try deleting any files in there?

I still haven't got this working. There should be a document in the systray folder?

Actually the dir is TrayTool. Does it exist for you guys?

no i don't have it, where is it supposed to be? Documents/Slitherine/ ?

Hmmm - odd. Should be in My Documents\My Games\Slitherine\TrayTool

thanks, i put it in the right directory and it works well now

I still can't get mine to work. I deleted all instances and redownloaded and installed. Windows firewall is disabled, but I've told it and Norton firewall to allow systray to work. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Windows XP.

What exactly is the issue? It won't save your password, or it won't show when games are available?

It talks to the server in the same way as BA and FoG, so if they work then it should be fine! My guess would be firewall and/or AV issues - it's a tiny app which talks to the net, and that could be setting off heuristics inside Norton?

It won't save my password or show when games are available. Right clicking brings up About and etc. but otherwise is doesn't function. I made sure Norton will allow it to work.

Deeter

Hmmm - have you deleted the files we discussed above? Does the file even get written?

IIRC (I'd need to check the code) if it is failing to speak to the server, it doesn't save your password. But I'll check in the morning.

Where should the Systray file go? I mean the released version, not the Beta version.

I ask because it shows waiting FOG games, but not BA games.

My version (18 June 2010) is in Program Files/Slitherine/Field of Glory ... (and it works OK for FOG)

Thanks ...

You should grab the latest version from

http://www.slitherine.com/files/SysTray/SysTray.zip

You can put it anywhere you like and decide if you want to run it as and when you decide, or add it to your system startup etc. This version supports both FoG and BA.

Cheers

Thanks Pip, that's what I call good service!
