We're hopefully launching our product (tjandpals.com) in about 2-3 weeks... so if all goes smoothly, we'd love to let you know and be showcased, esp. as we grow (multiplayer capability is going to be a major marketing point for us.) Anyway- I just saw in the docs that RedBox should, in theory, work ...

Thanks... can you point to any large productions using this already?

(btw- I for anyone who might be reading this, for future reference- you need to pass maxVariables when creating the room to actually set the maximum number of variables)

Imagine we have any number of rooms on SFS which each allow a maximum of 4 users in the room. Now, it would be great to let those 4 people see/hear eachother :) With FMS- I think it's as simple as each person doing a NetStream.publish(), and NetStream.play().... But I'd like to lock it so that only ...

I've tried changing the maximum number of room variables- both via zone configurator and zone monitor, but it's not persisting between shutdowns :\

That is a nice idea! But in this case, I don't think it works, since they are also communicating with a live audio stream.

I.e. of user1 says "hey, take my circle and make it green!", user2 needs to see the circle already..

This isn't directly related to SFS necessarily, but more a generic multiplayer problem that I'm having trouble solving... Basically- imagine a multiplayer whiteboard where several people can draw at the same time. To keep it simple, lets say there's a single object on the whiteboard which can be mov...

That's what I'm thinking... to simply set this as a sfs.keepAlive variable... the checks and sending would all be client-side in the API...?

Also- isn't this something that could be set on a lower level? i.e. a uint keepAlive variable where value is milliseconds... 0 is not to keepalive, anything else is how often "ping" byte goes out?

Any need for the extension to return anything? On a similar note, any need for the extension to actually exist?

Good idea, thanks!

Though I'm wondering if there's a build-in method I might be missing?

Consider an application which must remain connected to smartfoxserver, but might not join any rooms or receive any buddy messages for hours at a time. E.g. a skype-like setup... Is there a way to keep the connection alive so that it doesn't timeout, without needing to join a room? I.e. a server-leve...

Turn off word-filtering... both in Zone Configurator (requires restart) and/or in Zone Monitor (doesn't require restart)

Great, thanks!
