| GAME CHANGE: New Chat (With Private Messages) | Started by: Squishy on Nov 19, '15 20:59 |
|
We have just enabled the new chat. The new chat has a few new features to make things a little easier.
First off, you can Private Message someone. This makes communication a lot easier. You can click a name in chat, or use the "Person" looking icon in the chat to load the PM screen. You can also use some of the below manual commands: Send a private message You can adjust the height and the width of the chat window by dragging and placing with the upper left hand corner. You can minimize with the - minimize button, also you can full screen with the far right full screen button. You can also use the below manual command: Toggle fullscreen mode
If you have issues with the chat, you can post them in https://mafiareturns.com/comm/thread/726232 which is continuously being monitored for reports of bugs. If this makes the game unplayable, you can go into your Options - General screen and disable it completely, or disable it just on a certain Loadout. (If you are unfamiliar with load outs, its basically 3 groups of default settings. I run Loadout A on my work computer, B on my laptop, and C on my phone... each one is configured differently. At the very bottom of the login page you can see the A | B | C selection to choose which load out you want to load. Once done, you can use the regular login and it will remember the loadout you last used on that device. Be advised that if you disable the new enhanced chat, you will not receive PMs. Cheers! |

Need to do the same manual scrolling required for private chat. Have to scroll up 2 lines equivalent on both G1 and Private. |

I never thought I would like the chat before this one but I learned to like it. Only thing that is tedious is not being able to scroll to the bottom of the page. Like when I first logged in I could see the click here to acknowledge button was going to be at the bottom but had to minimise chat to get to it. Sounds picky I know but couldnt we have it so that the actual bottom of each page shows above the chat if that makes sense? |

I believe it's based on your local time, Leather. |

Hello!
Thank you again for your awesome work. I don't think I have any problems with the chat after you did the most recent changes. Works well both on my computer and phone.
However, if it doesent require too much work, would it be possible to duplicate the buttons for the chat windows on the right hand side over to the left hand side? The reason I'm asking is that especially when I'm on phone I tend to follow the chat on the left hand side, and have already several times missed personal messages due to not getting any notification. I've added a simple screenshot that shows how I picture a possible solution could look like. Wheter or not the buttons can be pressed or not is not that big of a deal but it would help to notice when someone says something in another window. The window with active users in the chat is of course not nessecary on the left hand side.

Thanks again for your effort and time. Its greatly appreciated by myself and I hope a lot of other people as well.
Best regards

I have the same issue sometimes as Rufino. It alerts you too, that you got a new chat, when it's just the repeat posts. |

Yeah, a lot of the time my private messages are highlighted even though I have not received a new message. Sometimes when I zoom in or out ( Google Chrome 200% as I type with my mouse laying down because I am bored. ) the chat messages will disappear also... Let me screenshot whilst I am typing... https://gyazo.com/34368ff42865780b11ad3a3cc7f58d5e - 125% 100% is fine by the way and I don't have a problem, sometimes I zoom right in to read messages and my chat looks like... https://gyazo.com/64c056b1cf386a0b9ef8190343532a12 - 150% THIS! ^^ Then every click on wards it's there, gone, there, gone and so forth. |

Is there any way to easily add a feature to this? I'd like to be able to click on the Private Message icon, and type in a persons name in order to send them a message without having to see their name in Global first.
Has this been discussed yet? |

I'm not sure this has always been the case or something recent, but my chat is 1 hour ahead of the game. Now my country (The Netherlands, woop woop) is also 1 hour ahead time wise.
So is chat displaying your country time or wrongly displaying 1 hour ahead? *confusion all around, ho ho ho* |
