Try searching for "<++".

It results in like...nothin'.

6 reults from the changelog and 1 from the readme.

I recall almost all the characters being craftily created during runtime, which I assumed was the intention to prohibit altering the final binary to change resources and string names. What is your intention of changing this? We may be able to help you out easier if you tell us what youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re trying to do. Or if I at least think I know what youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re trying to do, I would just point you to some already made clients.

I would recommend reading through the entire source, trying to understand it better. NOT skimming though the source or doing searches, but understanding the functions. What you need to look for is in the Client.cpp file.

I was actually looking in the BCDC source, where it's a bit easier to find.. sorry

In standard DC++, "<++" appears nowhere on purpose. This is to discourage people whose only change is to fake their tag. If you're serious about modding DC++, you will have no problem finding which section to modify, and in figuring it out, you'll learn a lot about the DC protocol and DC++'s source.

In the meantime, we're here to answer any questions you may have.

well... i was thinking aabout changing the tag... all i wanted was to change <++ part to something else... just to show that its a different client...
just like <oDC...

I think its supposed to be set somewhere where the client connects to the server.. or even on a startup... or?

Thanx, Alex

I cannot believe that you've modified the source in other places to make your client distinct from vanilla dc++ but you cannot find this simple bit, especially after Qbert pointing you to the right file.

But i haven modified it SO much yet...its all in proccess... i just think that its better if it will be different... cuz its not DC++ anymore... even thou its almos like DC++...

Im REALLY stupid...cuz i skipped the line in his post... sorry...

okej... i found it...
i liked the way of coding it...
how did u do it--i didnt see any function that proccessed it...

hum... why dont u code from scratch and then call it your own... rather then changing a few variable names, creating more bugs, then just changing the tag to call it yours...

hehe... good suggestion but i thought about it and just threw it out... cuz DC i kinda borring... its time to get a bit more serious with stuff
