Hello,

Sorry I feel bad for posting this then having to go to work. Thanks for everyones response

First thing is as someone pointed out, you have to actually see the wireless icon, not just have wireless on before starting the game.

Make sure the fonts are installed correctly and not just extracted. You could check by looking in Microsoft Word to see if they are installed.

I would love if this was included with the games package. It might be a week or two until Im done though, we'll see. I'm not even sure how to do emoticons yet so that might be a while.

And ShotgunSnipist, if you're talking about the z in the qwerty keyboard, its on the second line, sorry, It didn't seem worth rewriting some stuff just to put the z inhe correct spot, so sorry

Sounds awesome but imma wait until the final version comes out.

[brute games]

cool me and my bro tried it out and it worked well untill for some reason he couldnt move down on the letters but instead scrolled through the text with up and down. this happened to me on the second try but i can definatly see this going far.

[scorpio89mt2]

Sorry about that, that was my old way of scrolling through old texts. If you are on the top row of letters and press up again, it will move into the text region to scroll. Press back to return to the normal text entry mode. I have however changed that this evening because it was too easy to get into the scrolling mode. In the next version I'll release, you will just hold up and down to scroll while just pressing the buttons will move around the keyboard

NICE! Keep up the awesome work...cant wait for updates. I noticed that there is no lag in sending messages. I put this on my dad's zune, and on my zune and tested it by sending one word (Hi) and several lines of text, (mainly the letter 'n' repeated approx. 369 times) and the send time was instant! NICE WORK!! +rep

I made another menu interface last night. I think its pretty decent. Here it is for anyone who wants it.

I had to change all the fonts to Arial (6 times). Now it works.

WOW!!!, thats cool, thanks. I'm terrible at graphic design stuff. I barely know how to use GIMP so I sort of use that and then I get frustrated and usually end up in paint.

I'm still not sure why the fonts aren't working for some people...I just choose those ones because they are allowed to be distributed with XNA games so I figured that way I would know every one had them...I keep looking intoit and if any one else knows something let me know.

[Z00ND00D]

you're welcome. you can most definitely use that in your final release. I'm pretty good at Photoshop and would be happy to help with anything else graphics wise.

The fonts problem is most likely people doing the same thing i did at first..being eager to download the app and completely ignoring the fonts link that you provided. I never saw it until someone pointed it out that i needed to download them.

[doowkni]

WOW NICE....i know im thinking waaaaaaaay out the box but man i wish the zune could connect to the internet and i could use this as a portable messenger *sigh* but the none the lest this is so coo

[scorpio89mt2]

@ doowkni

I thought of that too and how cool it would be to send messages to people on msn messenger or something.

@ Z00ND00D

If you don't mind, I don't have a thumbnail image because, as I mentioned before, I really can't do stuff like that, so if you can think of something, it would be waaaaaay better than anything I could do.

[Dizzy]

Excellent work!
I too am awaiting a more stable version.

[nsachar]

Wait a sec! is this only between 2 zunes that are synced, or did you possible somehow get this to work as an actauly over the internet messenger? Is that even possible!
