"So-and-so is online"

[haunter]

Kind of like on MSN or AIM... The ability to toggle whether or not you want an alert message when everyone/a certian person(s) comes online. Both for client and RC, along with special features... For example, in the client, you can choose an option that gives you a "So-&-so is online" when someone from your buddylist comes online, or someone from your guild... And for RC, you can set it to specific people, or just when someone logs onto RC...

Now, on the other end, there would need to be options to disallow everyone from seeing when you come online... And a check box in everyones profile to disallow certian people from seeing when you come online (like the mute checkbox).

Hmm, how the message is displayed might be a bit tricky... To make non-annoying that is... Perhaps for RC, it would be like on MSN, with that little drawer like thing that pops out from above the System tray. As for on client... Hmm, maybe a pop-up window... But that might be annoying...

Ideas? Comments? Critisisim?

I think just a sound would be best, but I doubt it will be added.

Playerlist will be scripted, so you can do that.

WTF, I don't understand this new fangled scripted stuff... So, RC will be scripted... Playerlist will be scripted... Whatelse?

[Loriel]

That tells me nothing! @_@;

[Dach]

so the scripting engine will be scripted?

oman that would be so fricken weird...

bah, I hate pop-up windows nomatter what they are for, a sound or expanding text menu thing off of the list would do fine. Hmm, would be nice to have the buddy list minimize into the toolbar like AIM though...

This is all good and stuff, but I am not a smart person when it comes to scripting, so loriel your making mine.

I imagine this would happen in the control-npc's script, something like:

if (actionplayeronline){
for (i=0;i<allplayerscount;i++){
with (allplayers[i]){
if (strcontains(#s(client.buddies),#s(this.account))) {
insertstring client.msg,0,#s(this.account) has logged in;
}
}
}
}

something like that or w/e, i'm half awake and have a headache, so no comments on it ...
It wouldnt show for RC's either, and it'd be laggy as hell, but w/e o.0

Also some variations for the conditions...

I want to try the new scripting engine.

Oh yes. yes I do.


And there had better be documentation!@#!@
Or me be mad

Learning a whole language by trial and error is not fun.

Here here!

But what i think we all (scripter dudes at least) want to know is WHEN? ETA?

[adam]

The last time I asked when I heard a few days.

So I am not interested in asking when again.

[HoudiniMan]

Well, i have a feeling that was a bit more than a few days ago... Hmm

Maybe the minimized rc should flash like AIM when something goes into the text field?
