CrystalBall Cloud Chat
Written by CrystalBallSoft Staff

Description
Crystalball Cloud Chat gives more flexibility to CrystalBall Networking and is available to all registered users. The CrystalBall Cloud allows chatting and rolling to a central server on a standard port that is rarely blocked by firewalls.

The CrystalBall Network allows sending dice rolls, private chats, files, and other important game information to anyone connected. To do this, use the Connect menu and Connect... to create a CrystalBall Network as a Server or connect to an existing CrystalBall Network as a Client. One user connects as the CrystalBall Network Server and everyone else connects as Clients to that Server. Communications are sent between the computers that are connected.

This works very well as long as the computers can see each other. It fails when server and client are behind firewalls, don't have a usable external IP address, or are on different networks. If the computers can't see each other, then they are unable to connect and establish the network for sending data. The CrystalBall Cloud Chat solves this dilemma.

The CrystalBall Cloud is a server that records messages and allows other connected computers to get those messages. Since the CrystaBall Cloud has a static address all computers can see it and get and send messages no matter their firewall or connectivity as long as the CrystalBall Network Server they are connected to has access to the internet.
