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?

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 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)

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

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

TDO2000 · #11 10-22-2001, 12:04 AM

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

btedji · #12 10-22-2001, 01:33 AM

i thought all the changimg things worked on non-p2p

Faheria_GP2 · #13 10-22-2001, 02:19 AM

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

*CRY*

TDO2000 · #14 10-22-2001, 02:30 AM

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'.
