Idea of improvement for Mini-Chat

Postby Lt.Gen.xXHeAdShOtXx » Thu Sep 06, 2012 6:06 am

I thought of this idea when I was in-game. When you're in-game and need to contact an admin or type a message to everyone you can just type "@" or "@@@" then your message in either normal or team chat depending on who you want to contact. I thought something similar could be set up in the mini-chat box but with All, Members, Admins, Officers, Recruiting Officers, Generals etc. This might be good if say, the SRO needed to send a quick message all the ROs or a General needed to send a message to all the Generals instead of having to post a topic in the appropriate forum or send a PM. It's just an idea for the forums that I think might work out well.

It's definitely a good idea, but unfortunately isn't something that is already built-in to the chat system. When I get a chance I'll dig into the code and see if it wouldn't be too difficult to add.

Sure, thanks for that Jersey. It would definitely make the forums more efficient in terms of communication.

Hmm, I would've thought it was built-in. I know that the Shoutbox for MyBB has those features.

Yeah, it could be very nice, but is it possible?

It is possible, but would take a lot of work. Besides, the mini-chat is intended for casual and public chat, and is not really appropriate for discussions that should only be seen by a certain group (generals, RO's, server admins, etc.). For those types of things, you can send a PM to the appropriate group, and all members of that group will receive it.

Yeah, never thought about asking if that could be fixed. The text should stay on for 3 or 4 seconds if possible, would be better..
