Customized PM Sounds!

OMGosh · #1 07-17-2007, 03:18 AM

I think this'll be a GREAT feature.
Maybe have a different 'ding' sort of sound for everytype of pm that we receive. (toguild, staff, mass, pm, and toall)

This'll encourage players to both, play with sound ON (a rarity), and to listen to the nice-music we have.

This'll be especially handy on Classic since it's basically a chat room and people idle all the time (the idler's would like to know when they get a Staff Messages).

I agree

Speaking of Sounds...how about something that makes mics work while UDP is disabled (and enabled).

They do work while its enabled. They dont when its disabled because the data is transfered over UDP, and I doubt that will change.

We should have that fixed then! (Changed) Or at least a set of instructions/tutorial. =/

PM's FOR SOUNDS!

Nothing to be fixed there. Afaik sound goes best over an UDP connection, or atleast mic input/output. So it will probably stay like that.

i dont think it would be good for sounds when its a mass message or toall but for PMs that would be good

I'd say.. make 2 options;
Receive PMs as:
- Default (open by double clicking the blinking icon in playerlist hehe)
- Instant message (Pm's will popup immediately (easy now with gui controls) in a corner or so (last position) and a sound will play (if you enabled that option aswell) and you can "chat" back).

If people like this idea, and Stefan won't do it.. I might make it for 2k1 =p

Someone is already considering adding PM and Staff Message-Sounds for Classic but it'd be better everywhere!

If you get it up and running, let me know please.

Graal isn't a chatroom, as much as we joke about it.

Yeah, it really isn't.

And when people actually go along with it seriously like this I question my faith in humanity.

this would suck when your trying to bless or something and someone keeps pming you. you wouldn't be able to ignore them. or in the middle of an event...brutals

I remember once when Aeon had sounds when you received a pm. At first it was good but got annoying after 3 days.
