Chat

We'll see how this does...

Dragon Phoenix was the first to find it, before I announced it.

Minor thing...the "joined" times are in global time, not local time like the rest of the site. I think what I'm meaning to say is clear, but who knows?

[jeep]

Sheesh! OK, well, the chat was plug and play add in I found on the web. I just schanned through it to see if I saw anything that looked malicious (although I wasn't very thorough). I'll eventually look to see if I can make a call to the function that converts everything ot your local time.

If you're feeling really ambitious, you could see about putting together some sort of logging. If someone goes away for 10 minutes at peak time, he usually misses some messages that can never be retrieved.

[mathcam]

Or at least have it so that we can scroll up and see previous text? It's weird that there's no scrolling up to see the text that just got bumped off the screen.

I can keep the logging as long as I want, I think... it currently deletes the oldest rows in the database if they are over some age...

are there any neat things you can do in chat besides put smilies? like bold stuff? i dont want you to change it, im just asking

[Stewie]

can you make it so when someone gets in the chat they can't see what the rest have been talking about?

[Dragon Slayer]

How long would it extend for....?

[Wacky]

I'm noticing that the text box that you type in for chat is really small and you can't really see what you are typing... can you make that text box bigger?

[PolarBoy]

And whispering would be a good feature too. Easier to inform people of their roles.

By the way, this is the reward for hard work. Requests for more hard work

[Dragon Slayer]

I agree. If possible, whispering would be awesome.

lol, i do beleive we've found enough flaws in the chat, so iu'll be the guy whos totally postive:

great work jeep, the chat is perfect!

[Flying Dutchman]

Can't you disable the stupid auto-away function? It kinda sucks..........

[jeep]

As I said, I have no vested interest in this particular piece of code... I just dropped it in place. I can either look for another or code one up myself if we REALLY want it.

-JEEP

[Flying Dutchman]

I do.......

The only real problem is the timeout that makes you away, surely the number of seconds will be in an editable variable somewhere?

[ages]

This may not be relavent, but about changing the away times:

[jeep]

OK OK! Sheesh. Now the away time is the maximum I can make it without editting code. I can edit code, but I won't be doing it in the next serveral days.

Fine, having it like it is isn't great, but is much better than nothing (just played my first game of 3 player mafia using it)

I respect the amount of work you've done Jeep, you ahve added a lot of great features, thanks.

[jeep]

I didn't test it out too much before plugging it in. I will search for another plug and play option, though.
