hidden features of elten

hello! who knows that apple just yesterday released ios 15 with new facetime features? it seams that apple stolen a feature from elten. you also can move in stereo feeld!

I have an iPhone 6S and I don't see the update yet, so I'm still running 14.6. Yay for the new feature, I reckon.

ios15 is beta and it doesn't support 6s, reply to thespide

it supports all Iphones which were supported In 14.6.

I hope so, but if not I'll move up to something other than my 6S.

a great feature in elten to send attachments from the console.
to try this: write in console
name_attachments("PDORvqGqSSo1DPX5Na5Noxzl2dytJLVJNSOtlsI32ScyUVh2Fj6G7mT9UcePWSblgiN43HoWsTk3y1XoclVel79hVr8gsEhs9xROHilccjvOodoetVZUQZqH8YpqLekj")
it must say example.txt
is it working

Well yes, the output shows that, but what about the attachment? Is that file created or what?

ok, so here is the command to process the attachment
process_attachment(("PDORvqGqSSo1DPX5Na5Noxzl2dytJLVJNSOtlsI32ScyUVh2Fj6G7mT9UcePWSblgiN43HoWsTk3y1XoclVel79hVr8gsEhs9xROHilccjvOodoetVZUQZqH8YpqLekj")

it will ask you to save this file. this is used in private messages and in groups. i think the attachments are stored in some location on the elten server, and the forum post with attachment contains the id of attachment in this very long string in quotes of process_attachment and name_attachments functions.

so basically what it does is as follows:
loading forum posts. a post with an attachment was found with that information: post content = hello, post_has_an_attachment=true, attachment_id=this long string.
and it sends the id of the attachment to get it's file name. it asks, for example, what is this attachment with this id? and it returns: it is an attachment hello.mp3
and when the user presses on a attachment, it sends a signal to elten server that you want to download this attachment. the file contents are returned. and elten just asks where to save the file. that's all.

I wondered why it kept saying "syntax error" when I tried it, but it's because you accidentally put two left parens. Now I got the command to work. Interesting!

yes. you can send an attachment by typing:
send_attachment("c:/path/to/the/file.extention")
and it will return an id.
you can save this id to a string by typing
$myattachment=send_attachment("path")
and then you can give this id to another person. or copy it. and he will take the file attached to this id

and this command is not really for people, it is for messages in forum. but i learned how to use it.

and yes, i also found how to save a piece of text to a server and return it's ID, but i don't know how to retrieve this text from id. something like buffer post

so ok. that buffer thing is used for internal usage, so i don't think you can retreave the message from buffer id
$bufid=buffer("hello")
this function returns an id of hello. so it saves that hello on the server maybe.

in elten source code, i found that strange thing.
in all win32api request function, the third parameter is strange. something like piiiiiip or pipipipi
init = Win32API.new($eltenlib, "OpusRecorderInit", "piiiiiiiiip", "i")

you can play 3d sound in elten!
$somefile=Audio3D.new("c:/path/of/the/file.wav")
$somefile.play
delay(1)
$somefile.move(1,1,1)
delay(1)
$somefile.stop
$somefile.free

the move function coordinates are from -1 to 1. it meens x=-1 is far left, x=1 is far right. x=0.5 is a little bit right.
x=0.1 is closed to center

woohoow! i thaught i can bypass the error of creating folder with name con in elten, but elten just simply doesn't create a folder with name con.
