message control
 
So, how would you like the message control on Era?

The old scrolling type, or the current type, or something new all together? Any suggestions? hehe

cbk1994 09-25-2008 11:25 PM
The current type. The old one was dreadful.

natchez416 09-25-2008 11:29 PM
Agree the current one is perfect.

Frankie 09-25-2008 11:50 PM
current one of course. always could be improved.
the old one, you would have like 200 messages stacking up. would take forever.

What kind of improvements? I don't really like the new one D:

How can someone not like it? It took like thirty seconds to read a message in the old one. Now you can just glance at it to see all your messages, not just one. And you won't miss a message if you don't happen to be looking at the interface at the time.

The current one is pretty neat. I didn't really like it at first, either, but it grew on me since it's much simpler.

it glitches up some times.
there are also no options to disable/enable certain message types that could spam your screen.

I don't really see where it needs any "improving".. Its a simple message system, not much you CAN do to improve it. I mean you could add little features to it like player masses, perhaps changing the colors of texts, etc etc.

It does? How so? Also, yea, we should add something for that. Will take some time though, I guess.

A server as big as Era couldn't handle player masses very well.

Finish up the mall so masses will be clear of the constant:

"SELLIN MK23, PM 4 OFFER"
"SELLIN M21 4 59K"
"SELLIN [insert picture of lifesize p90] FOR 40K!!!"

Seriously.

random times a huge list of messages will get stuck on the top part of the screen and won't go away until you reconnect.

Old one I think, because if you somehow get fifty messages, it's going to take a long time for each one to scroll across.

PHP Code:
public function addMessage( msg )
{
  if ( clientr.messages[ clientr.messages.size() - 1 ] == msg )
  {
    return;
  }
} 
:confused:

Should only happen when changing the number of messages visible at once, which isn't possible and shouldn't be done via script :o Dont know anything else which could cause it.

It happens to me during lag, sometimes.

It usually happens whenever an event warper is opened...although, I thought it was fixed?
