Dear all,
So I enharited this source code of a multifunction administration bot used in a room , some how I am good with VB but this whole Paltalk api is new to me.

The thing is it is required to fix certain issues with the bot , for a start the bot still function correctly when it comes to messages sending and monitoring , however when it comes to room's list retrieval or reddot or bounce functions the bot appears to fail (but not crash).

On further investigation of the issue (and as a reminder I did say I am new to Paltalk's api) on this forum i got to understand that the api has changed over the versions 9.2 , 9.5 and 9.9 , now the original author did document that this bot was written for Paltalk 9.2 also users have reported that this bot worked fine over version 9.5 (somehow!) now comes the question , is there one source to find how the api were on version 9.2 or version 9.5 and what they became on 9.9 ?

You see it would be quite essential to lock a topic for api changes / menu ids in order to make it easier for scripters to look up the older codes and replace em by newer ones specially in beefy scripts .

So if there was already a resource I overlooked would someone kindly reference which over this thread or else should we try to append our findings in here ?

Thanks in advance , best regards

Without seeing how/what you are trying to do, it is hard to help troubleshoot. My guess is you are running into the issue with the subitem index change in the SysListView that is talked about in the later part of Paltalk 9.9 Programming VB 6.0.

Basically the user list have changed and only has one item now instead of two that were before, so text should be retrived from first item (0 i think) instead the second.

Correct.

There are examples of all the functions you mentioned, in this post.

ok so i waded some in these downloadable files but i kinda need the following to understand things better :
1 - an example of how nickname retrieval from room list is scripted for paltalk 9.2 , 9.5 , 9.9
2 - an example for applying / removeing reddots on these three versions
3 - another example for a bounce over the same three versions
now the reason for that is , for me i need to analyse how things were to look em up in this program i am working on , then applying the new means adopted.

Have it ever came in your mind to use the search feature of this forum?

I am out of spoons but autopilot may have some gerber left.

i did search , you can try to do it yourself. but maybe i dont have the references and the correct nameings for an efficiant search . could u help with your knowledge ?
