Title: Live In-Game Chat
Post by: RicosNinos on January 07, 2012, 00:04
Hello everyone,

I saw there is a Live In-Game Chat, well it is nice, but it is not live :D
If you noted the page refreshes every 4 seconds. Ok I am aware that this chat is not so required.
But from some unknown reason I made real live in game chat http://sklonishte.com/ConvoyTruckingChat/ (http://sklonishte.com/ConvoyTruckingChat/), there can also be option to chat from web browser, just I need rcon password for that.
If administrator team is interested in cooperating, be my guest and pm me.

All best.

its a nice thought but your never going to get any kind of passwords to the server or otherwise
you could always suggest this for a forum chatbox..

I have no idea how you are able to get the live chat, thats weird
you just linked our chat to your website. how lame is that

Looks good, but there will be no "Send message" as the chat is read-only.
Can you PM me about your script?

Because it's IN-GAME chat. If you want to chat, go in-game instead of spamming it from the website.

now if there was a way to have this and the ability to chat in game while not in it, that would be awesome but I guess its only and admin feature.. like talking on a teamspeak but add a character in front and it will go on the server chat... I know its possible because i have talked to people in a server while in a chatroom

It is possible to chat from web browser like you are in the game, with SampRconAPI but for that i need to have RCon Pass :D

well all i can say is that official convoy trucking live ingame chat "sucks" in comparison to yours. (this means that the current official ingame chat is really cool and i like it, but still it sucks in front of yours)

Title: Re: Live In-Game Chat
Post by: Joshy on January 10, 2012, 12:57
Use a font where you can tell between uppercase and lowercase letters, at least for the names.
Title: Re: Live In-Game Chat
Post by: Xero on January 10, 2012, 13:46
Very cool. I would say go for something like the Grand Theft Auto Stunting one, the last on the page.
Title: Re: Live In-Game Chat
Post by: RicosNinos on January 10, 2012, 21:09
ok guys chat is finally done, if you have some ideas there is a feedback button in upper left corner, you can send me feedback, and there is also a search for players that are in game :D

and possibly put the text in another color, so you (or at least me) could understand the name of people who are talking

Of course it is possible, but I don't have a taste for that, what color you think is best?
Title: Re: Live In-Game Chat
Post by: Ethan on January 11, 2012, 02:21
well the background is gray so any color that wouldnt blend it... try red, blue, green or something else
