I released beta 11 of Luxer today.
Changes:
– The say command now works correctly.
– The user database is no longer case sensitive.
– Added connect on disconnect
– Added connect on open
– Added a VERY beta chat interface
– Interface redone by Frank

Well, that theme was fun, but with the return of Luxer, it is time to go back to the old one.
Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for…
Luxer Beta 10 is OUT!
New features include, but are not limited to:
– It connects. (woot)
– It connects FAST.
– Wildcard kicking and banning
– Customizable flags
– “Uber 1337″ speed.
– Whole new UI
– And so much more that I can’t remember right now/am too lazy to type out.
Anyway, GO TRY IT OUT! http://marcusfamily.info/~ryan/forums/index.php/topic,15.new.html#new
I got the whole autoban system for Luxer working today. It is very fast, even beating out Stealthbot!
More updates later!
Luxer beta 10 is coming along at super fast speed.
I redid the entire connection system, which means no more 10 second wait for “connecting to Java base.” I got an average connection time of 10 seconds.
Luxer also seems to be connecting consistently, regardless of what other applications are open.
The user system and flag systems are completely done.
I also fixed a buffering bug that caused messeges to become merged.
Well, looking around on Digg I found somebody who might actualy be better with Photoshop then Frank! Don’t believe me? Here is the original digg.com post:
This guy is amazing… he has created a photorealistic image using just Photoshop 6.0 and a mouse… no graphics tablets here. Pure talent.
He has also created a nice step-by-step tutorial on how it was created.

Pretty cool, huh?
This made me laugh for about 10 minutes: http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/21732
I finally found the time to work on Luxer, and beta 10 is going to be great!
I completely redesigned the user interface, moving from a “one large window” approach to a “many small window” approach. This means you can pick exactly what you want to have open and what you don’t want. No more clunky tabs, either. 
I’m also converting all of my evil text file preferences and storage into databases… So you won’t see users load one by one when you open the user window.
The flag system is also going to be completely redone… Instead of having every single letter be a flag, you will be able to assign an action to any letter. If you want B to be autoban, then you can set it that way. If you would rather have B declare the user as a bot, you can do that as well!
And lastly, and most importantly (in my opinion), I’m redoing the whole java base connection! No more 50/50 chance of connecting!
I wish I could offer you a solid release date, but I can’t. Anywhere between today and two weeks from now, just keep checking this blog or opening Luxer (it checks for updates when it starts up.)
