New version 0.94 of MaNGOLin has been released, see the top of this thread for the latest features and compatibility. Cheers Bannor

Their will be a new version 0.94 of MaNGOLin released sometime next week, see the website http://www.caledoniacomputers.com for more details of the latest features. Bannor

The Caledonia Computers website is currently down due to me screwing up by using what can only be said to be a dodgy plugin, I have a partial out of date backup but its going to take me a few days to get the site restored. Edit: Turns out my backup was only a few days old, so the site is up again let me know if you have any problems, this just shows the benefits of keeping a backup! Sorry for the inconvenience Bannor

Please be aware that if you download MaNGOLin from any download location not provided by Caledonia Computers then you do so at your own risk. Bannor

News Update If you are unable to download files from my website then im afraid my usage limit has been reached, I am being allowed to continue to host the files here but the useage limits remain hopefully it wont be a major problem as useage only peaks out during new software releases and dies down after a day or two. I cant afford to upgrade to a better package as at the moment since im not making any money in order to sustain it, via the site or any other revenue stream due to now being a full time father/house husband. If you do get the Access Denied error message then I reccommend clicking the file link multiple times and eventually the download will begin or use the alternative download link I have provided which will take you to the files on Filefront. All further news announcements will be done here http://www.caledoniacomputers.com/?page_id=6 as i dont want this thread getting to long. Thanks Bannor

I'll take a look at IE8 will have to download and install it as I dont normally use MS stuff, but to fix Firefox install FasterFox and set to Optimised. edit1: Tested with IE8 you are correct it also gives this error, so i have passed the problem back to my hosting provider im awaiting a resolution.

After having a word with my webhost regarding the file download issues we have figured out what the problem is and I have confirmed this myself and can duplicate the problem every time. For those haveing trouble downloading files from Caledonia, the problem appears to be mainly with Firefox users, if you are using addons such as FasterFox which tweak Firefoxs network settings then please ensure you are operating it within rfc specs or you may receive the following error ****************** Access Denied. Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect. ******************** I used FasterFox to confirm this, if FasterFox is set to Turbo you get the error message if you set it to Optimised(within RFC specs) you wont recieve the error. I have tested the site using Opera, Chromium, IE7, Konqueror as well as Firefox and it works fine.

Version 0.93b Released This fixes a remote console login problem that appears in MaNGOLin 0.93a if using Mangos > 8885 due to changes in the Mangos remote access code. This version is backward compatible with Mangos 8798 and tested upto Mangos 8886 after that point your mileage may vary. See top post for more details.

Would just like to apologise about the the 0.92b release, I myself have found quite a few bugs in it and must say that even by my standards this is a crappy release. Fear not though 0.93 is on its way with new features and a ton of bug fixes, plus and don't all clap at once a Help feature. Bannor

Yep it should work for 8798+ but how far you can go above that before it fails is anyones guess, if you have a problem then feel free to let me know at what version it fails at and i will probably get around to fixing it, by the time i get the planned 0.93 out the door the goalpost that is mangos will have moved again.

Im afraid the version 0.93 of MaNGOLin is going to be delayed, due to large problems with my SVN repository. Will keep you posted.

If you are having a trouble with Telnet in java then i can recommend JTATelnet which can be found here www.javassh.org, its GPL and adds telnet functionality to java and is easy to use. I use it in MaNGOLin and if you need some hints on how to use it download the MaNGOLin source code and take a look at the MangosTelnet.java file. Im assuming of course that your own code is GPL as well. Its a far easier solution than writing your own telnet code which is definately a bugger to do MaNGOLin code can be found here www.caledoniacomputers.com

An interim version 0.92a of MaNGOLin has been released to fix a problem in the content downloader due to the address change of a certain website. Get it as usual at http://www.caledoniacomputers.com

Jujst a quick note to let you know that MaNGOLin isn't dead just been on hiatus due to another app i was developing. Hope to have a new version of MaNGOLin out at the beginning of next month. Cheers Bannor.

New version of MaNGOLin now available see top post for details

Quick update to inform folk that due to domain difficulties, i have purchased an entirely new domain and the website has moved and im afraid the original website is now kaput. MaNGOLin and Caledonia Computers can now be found here http://www.caledoniacomputers.com Thanks Bannor

Hi folks Thought you might like to know, their is a new release of the free GPL version of Mangolin V1.05 for Windows and Linux. Compatible with MaNGOS 11994+ and WoW 3.3.3a, 3.3.5a clients only. For all of MaNGOLin functions to work you are now required to have an ingame admin account with a security level of 4, for want of a better word ive called it GOD level and it can be changed from within MaNGOLin using the inline Accounts table editing, once you have changed the security level remember to disconnect and reconnect MaNGOLin for the change to take affect. NB: Please post your support requests or bugs in the Caledonia Computers forum and not in this thread. Thanks Bannor.
