Shoutbox

[Renovix]

What was wrong with the old shoutbox? TaigaChat is great! There was logs and all, nothing was going wrong. Now we have this piece of trash.





I honestly don't see what was wrong with the previous shout box.

Anyone have different views on this? I've added a poll.

The new is awful.

 

[Mxrkuss]

I agree

 

[Speed]

I don't see the problem, Premiums abused the color chat and stuff, if it was a little smaller it would be perfect

 

[Magnemite]

Speed Not sure how you can "abuse" colors. If you mean using the color then that's just silly. It's not doing any harm to anyone at all.

Sure it didn't but it seems like the only thing Supreme was useful for had a flaw in it.

I feel that everyone posting their opinions should know the true pros and cons of this new shoutbox, so here they are:

Pros:
- Custom private rooms (not yet added)
- Far more customisation in regards to the way that you see the shoutbox personally (inverted, etc.)
- Amazing new moderation reports so that now you can actually report things that should not be posted.
- New whisper command
- Better way of selecting a chat color
- Far better way to prevent the use of BBCode
- Built-in archives so that logs can't be spoofed.
- Sounds
- Tagging

Cons:
- Links no longer work (is now fixed)
- Does not look as good (being fixed)
- People don't like change (impossible to fix)
- "Lag"*

*The chat has always had this "lag" by communicating with the server, but this just takes a fraction of a second longer to show on your end. In reality both systems had the same amount of "lag" but this one just sends you messages from the server, instead of the "client" interpreting it first.

So yeah, I personally like this change and I hope you will all soon once these final few changes are made.

It should be made /msg <player name> (no [] or {} or anything like that) <message>

It should be made /msg <player name> (no [] or {} or anything like that) <message>

The reasons the brackets are there is due to the fact that some names like Anthony R have two words in them so there is no good way to determine which part is the actual name and which part is with the message itself, so brackets will have to do.

If that's not possible I feel like you should leave the shoutbox without the /whisper feature and rather add a private live chat feature in the pm's themselves , it would be more productive.

I honestly don't like the new shoutbox either, unfortunately.

 

[Renovix]

We have conquered! The old shoutbox has returned!

Awesome! Mick, thanks for listening to the community!

 

[Magnemite]

Woo! Go Mick

 

[Magnemite]

I say bring back the new one ONCE it's fixed up. It could have been better and I think that you are going the right way in terms of progressing but you just need to work on the shoutbox a bit more.

No. No. No. No. No.
