Re: Chat ideas

Lol, rainbow chat, that'd be hard to read. Anyway, I like Insuevi idea, along with the semi-transparent bubble. All in all, I'm not sure if chat will be an improvement, it's just another way to ask for code, which, we all get tired of...

Re: Chat ideas

I don't agree with this - I think colors in general should serve different functions, just like on most MMOs.

For example, white would be regular chat, green would be whispering, light brown could be for friends (if friend lists are possibly implemented), purple would be for crews (again, if possible) and special colors like blue would be reserved for code-holders and room creators. Official admins and moderators could have uh... rainbow colored chat.

I agree..
LOL rainbow coloured chats

________

I think that the chat window shouldn't be attached to the game window,
cause it would be annoying..
Also, if a smiley person dude thing has a username,
if you put your mouse over it, the username pops up.
Otherwise if the username is there all the time it would be kinda annoying.

Re: Chat ideas

And how about a sound when someone sends text to the the chatbox? Like tinychat i guess, that awesome little *POP* sound when it goes through!

Re: Chat ideas

Re: Chat ideas

That seems a little bulky(and would clash with ee. I might make a mock-up idea in a bit
I do like the smiley idea, there
edit:
Ok, I've designed my idea for what would look good for the chat. :s Mind you, these are mockups.
This is with chat hidden | With chat visible
Some explanations:
I have expanded the size used by ee some(to fit within the container on the website), I'm aware this may not be an option with EE, but I think it does the best to make the chat reasonable size without constricting EE, and without making EE in itself too big.
The bubbles can be turned off by pressing the button under the large chat button(when chat is off)
The big button that says chat opens the chat, clearly.
The the words on top are tabs, Everybody and editors, is designed to look like Everybody Edits, that said, the everybody tab is a chat for everyone in the chat, while the editors tab will just display people with the code. Private chat is, well, private chat.
The big number is people online, you can, theoretically, click it to get a list of these people(and then double click names for private chat).
*** messages would display for various things, leaving, joining(maybe, Ill get back to this), someone getting code, getting any of the crowns(when there are more than one), kicks, bans, etc. /me would work, but would only show one asterisk instead of three
most of the chat -content- is some EEchat inside jokes
the white glow and rainbow glow would show room editors and moderators respectively, with, perhaps, the ability to hide the glow. Kinda took this idea from transformice, but I think it works really well.
Chat box designed to look like super secret edit key box, obv

Ideas not visible/present in picture:
Chat should appear minimized by default, always, and one should not appear online until chat is first maximized.
Once chat has been opened while in an ee room, when the chat has been minimized again (to play the level for a bit without distraction, or something), there should be some sort of notification(I think the word CHAT glowing would be best).
^ being said, separate commands for the following:
/close- close chat, sends a notification, etc.
/lobby-sends a user to lobby, keeps the chat you're in, but sends you to lobby(there needs to be chat in the lobby , but more on that later)
/quit- leaves room and chat, quit that level completely
Chat in lobby is a must, so people can always chat. 'what rooms right now are good' and such is useless without lobby chat.
Ability to join any room anytime is also a big idea. when in the lobby you can go say '/join #Awesomeboss' 'hey guys, is this boss any good', which would be really cool.
^ Disable duplicate level names(which should be done anyway).
Multiple rooms at once. I think this is a cool idea if you want to just have one room to chat in, and play in another. so I'm in EEchat, but I'm stuck in ZZ Crew Battle for Atlantis, so I can ask for help, while still maintaining conversations in EEchat.
'Friends', smart it smallish for now, just some simple chat commands, /friend [friend] /friendlist /find [friend] would add amazing stuff to the game, never again would you make a level with some dude, and never see him again.
People's smiley and timestamps for messages are good ideas, I just felt to lazy when making my mockups.
'Permanent' IDs for beta levels(chosen by users, of course), so I set my level to display as #EEchat, and then also as #Don't_Move_Auto_World(which changes with my level name )
'official' rooms. This is a pretty big idea. By default room names will have # as a prefix, but official rooms will not, official rooms will have set moderators that do not change, and they will not [always] have a corresponding level. Some of these would be like Lobby, Beta, Forum(or maybe not... haha). Normal people will have the ability to buy an official room for however much Chris wants to charge, this seems like a cool way to gain a small amount of money for EE, while not taking away much from non-paying players. This would be ideal for crews/groups and such. Official rooms should/could have like a list of them
A redirect action that only the room owner could make to work with ^ So, lets say ZZ Crew buys an official room, you join the level 'ZZ Crew Journey to Constellations', and the level owner at some point did /redir ZZcrew, when you go to chat in 'ZZ Crew Journey to Constellations' you get the ZZcrew chat.
mod, op, and code commands, mod gives someone the ability to fly,op gives someone ability to manage the chat, code gives someone the ability to edit without having the code, this could work pretty well to prevent people giving away the code. You put a mod code up in black at the end (or in text blocks? ;3), then when someone clearly is a moderator, you can give them code, if you want.
Editor Colors. When you click on the editor tab, each person with code has a bright color, similar to the 'green' you color, that also shows up on minimap. So, you have chat minimized, and in the minimap you see a cyan pixel moving like it's a troll, so you maximize chat, go to the editor tab, find out who's color is cyan, and promptly kick them, potentially before too much damage is done to your room(if you gave them the code by using /code [them], then they can't come back and troll more ), I'm thinking if 50% of people with editor status try to kick someone else with editor status it'll work too, that way if you, the level owner/creator, are afk, then theres still a chance of getting rid of the troll before he closes the room. Another idea is that if an editor /kicks another editor, they don't get kicked, but the editing power goes away temporarily, this would send a confirmation to owner to either kick whomever for being a troll, or to ignore it and write it off seeing that the editor that kicked was just being a jerk.

Ok, that's all my chat ideas ;-; Its kinda a huge post(one of the reasons for not directly displaying the images). So please don't directly quote it to say 'lol great idea!' or other similar, small, arbitrary commentary, you can easily quote a piece of it, or just mention the part, or whatever. I don't see a problem in quoting my whole post to chop it up and respond to each idea, however.

Okay, fingers need a vacation ;-;
/inb4 tl;dr.

Re: Chat ideas

and yet it seems that's not quiiite what we'll be getting; according to this blog post. wish I read that before making my post, wow, lol.

Still, looks like Chris has it about done in whatever hidden version of the game he and Cyc are playing, as the bg is a little weird for a mockup. Also, new smilies with update it seems.
Now everyone with beta will get the current beta smileys, but whine because they don't get the new ones.
EDIT:

To ensure that the chat is not annoying while playing the game, chat bubbles & names will only be visible when:
You are standing still.
You have the chat input field visible (Clicking the chat bubbles in the UI or pressing enter)
Your name where mentioned in a message

so no longer is it 'have fun chatting with friends while playing a game', but rather stop playing a game to talk to someone near you in the game but you have to say their name in every message. It's not meant for chatting but quick game stuff.
I've argued before that EE is a simple game and chat would complicate it, but this chat idea is too simple, imho.

Re: Chat ideas

Would be nice with chat bubbles, but good if the owner of the chat can activate or deactivate them.
Here is some idea i got for the chat, http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4879/chat4t.png
It add timestamp, smiley and text. But maybe a crap idea.

Modes for anti-spam, anti-flood, and disable/enable links.
Then ban or kick peoples from the room.
Chatbubbles (Enable / Disable)
Anti-spam (Enable / Disable)
Anti-flood (Enable / Disable)
Links (Enable / Disable)
Ban & Kick peoples

BEST!

Re: Chat ideas

I Think when you enter a room YOU created, YOUR the only one who can kick or ban. Chats OK.

Re: Chat ideas

if you want a good idea here you have one. all the names are visebel and click on the people you want to send it. or start a chat box and the other one have to accept it. (at the start you have to give your smiley a name.)

What RPG said sounds great. Maybe a combination of that and something like this (by iYam)http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1981/98816997.jpg
? The chat bubbles should be transparent and should be able to be turned off.

OH NO

Re: Chat ideas

My chat idea is tolet us use caps.

What if there is a code: QweRTYUiOp and it's case-sensitive? It's a non-saved level.
Now, the creator gives anyone the code via chat, but only chatters.
Someone would ask "code?"
Next, the creator says "QweRTYUiOp"
It shows up as "qwertyuiop"
I said it would be non-saved cuz u can't change code...

Re: Chat ideas

Thus from time to time you should be able to shout "HELP ME I'M STUCK HERE" Which would be visible for everyone.

Lol, I love that idea. Then a creator of the world that doesn't have chat will be able to free people. There should be a list of "free" chat messages that anybody can say but people that do have chat can mute the non-chat people because, well, people can spam using that. Those free chat messages could include what Avalkiz said and stuff like "Whoo-hoo! I won", "This world is great", "follow me", " and stuff like that. This would be help people that don't have chat. Then there couldn't be any "bullying" and stuff like that for people that can't chat and parents would approve of it.
