!~! Chat System !~!
 

Here is a preview of my chat system for my server I am making.

Looks nice. :)

Does this chat-item shorten a long text? or is it in the next line?

[ Delph Inc. ]

That's p2p right?
I've been arguing for Stefan to put '@size' into the showimg-text command.

Also...I suggest not using those HUGE statistic metres...they look out of place and too big for most people.

well ...
 

i put a 42-character limit on it ... for now ...
well you can control size with 'changeimgzoom' and i got rid of the meters and am doing a really kool system ... ohhh ... and also... its for use on any servers i think (p2p and free)

I thinnk changeimgzoom doesn't work on non p2p Servers...

it does ...
or it did on Delteria .... if it dont work I will be mad

Stefan disabled all these effects short ago, because I tried it out on Atlantis and changeimgzoom didn't work with my chat-item =(

how it works ...
 

how this NPC works is fairly simple ....

It basically uses 'timeout' to update the players view of the chat. Then 'showimg 501,@verdana@#s(server.chatrow1),5,5' to make the first row of chat appear, and so on through the 10 chatrows I have. Then when the 'playerchats' the contents of each string move up:
'setstring server.chatrow10,#s(server.chatrow9)'
'setstring server.chatrow9,#s(server.chatrow8)'
and so on .... then:
'setstring server.chatrow1,#a: #c'
to make the next news appear and so on and on ...

Last I heard, changeimgzoom worked on non-p2p, but setimgcolor or changeimgcolor or whatever its called is for p2p only

Nope, offline it worked fine but then i tried it online and changeimgzoom didn't work. Stefan disabled it...

i thought all the changimg things worked on non-p2p

stefan calls them lighting effects, even when it's just text

*CRY*

he should add something like

showimg index,@text@size

so it could also be used on non p2p servers and he won't have to enable "lighteffects"

i think a '@size' is definately needed also where you can control the color as well '@color'.

[ Delph Inc. ]

There was a thread with all these ideas a while back...
with:
showimg index,@verdana@b@size@colour@text,x,y;

But I only have a feeling Stefan will enable the size, because colour is not all that important.

I don't really care if he doesn't allow it in images...most of us just need the size in text and we should all live happily ever after...until someone comes up with another complaint.

uhm, I need color, Stefan should add it too. And attachplayertoobj should work on non pay.

[ Delph Inc. ]

I think we're really pushing it here...

Stefan...if you ever get to reading this...@size is probably the most important command us non-p2players need at the moment.
So if you could please add it.

Or just enable changeimgzoom ;)

Nyght you DID NOT script that don't lie. You got that script from Zell site or another one b/c the one on there has a character limit. Err your such and idiot for lieing like that, you could of least made it so if it is more then 42 letters it raps around to the next line. I bet you anything that if you post your chat script and I post the one on Zell's site they will be the same except for some text you change to make it look like you made it.

Hey ! I need color for my chat thingy white text on a lightbrown background isn't the easiest to see ...

Fine i'll post mine !!! Damnit I totally hate this ! Whenever I make a script by myself I get accused of stealing !!! And the 42 charcater limit was to make it fit within my chat box. And I guess if they exceede i could use #e to make the extra parts go to the next line !

Ok I made this NPC and it works mainly on pay servers now but has quite a few bugs .... If you wanna use it please ask me !!! Also, this script is posted to teach:

The chat i listed above is mainly for pay servers cause it uses "changeimgcolor'&'changeimgzoom' i am working on a free server one the only things really changing is the spacings and gifs ...
