Ingame shoutbox
« on: Saturday, July 12, 2014, 13:15:18 PM »
Hi,t
I was thinking what could I destroy today, but instead of it I've got an idea to implement ingame ShoutBox.


Create command like `shoutbox`, which will make shout with HTTPrequest, same as assist do.

Auth server will push info to game server, which will brodcast message to the clients.

IMO a better implementation would be to write up a client-side GUI element in-game (that can be turned on/off) that shows a chatbox like the console. Then, to shout, you would just type "say !shout" in the regular console and it would send it to the shoutbox in Assist and here. That way, the in-game console isn't cluttered and there isn't more load put on the game server.

Course, I doubt ELiZ would spend time on something like this when it's already implemented into Assist (alt+tab). If someone from the community would write a good working version, it could probably be implemented.
It's like shaving your pubes to make your junk look bigger.
Might look bigger, but it aint.....

I don't know, that sounds like a lot of work for very little benefit. The shoutbox is pretty much just used for bitching and asking for help to problems. Neither of which would be useful to see during gameplay.
