Global PM / Clan Idea
« on: June 30, 2007, 10:57:41 pm »
Player 1 sends a PM to Player 2
Player 1 > Player 2
Player 1's PM goes to server, and then to Player 2
Player 1 > Server > Player 2

Now, you can send Clan Messages, wherever they are...

Clan System: Checks if someone uses this name as a clan name, and allows / declines request for clan. Once registered tag + clan name, no one can use it... Unless you send an invitation to a player, and they accept. Might be working off a GUID, not by player names...

xFire
But it would rock having an intersystem message client.

A friends system.

Something similar to XBL.

Well, what I meant by that was something that the adds ability to add friends, notifies you when someone comes online, and tells you what server they're in. Something like XFire, but built in.

Something like an online user list, more along the lines of what Battle.net is like.

We could even have chat channels, clan channels, and game channels.

Every time a channel gets made in B.net it gets hijacked by Command.com or someone.  At least on Starcraft.

At best, we could have a whole friend tracker/pm/filesharing system
At least we could have a little system mail client.

how about a chat room at/before the server screen?
« Reply #12 on: July 02, 2007, 03:58:46 am »
Tribes had a lobby
basically a chat room
where everybody who connected could talk at a master server
then you could leave to join a game
and a message with a link would appear in the chat room
other players could follow if they liked
by clicking on the link
like IRC but built-in
I think it utilized mIRC iirc

No it doesn't. You're talking about channel loaders/flooders which are common on all forms of chat applications, even IRC.

Does "Find Friend" function well for anyone? I figured it was like the sort-by-ping feature: one day I'd autodownload a little more code, and suddenly it would be enabled, as if by magic. I've got the Mac client, and the usual mods, nothing special, some Relics, Dom, Balance & Lite (no TremX that I know of, since dude quit about six times since I got here six months ago, no offense, f0rqu3/vcxzet/bioxtc - P.S. pick up ur old messages), a GUID and backport (as far as I know, 'cuz servers rename me), missing skin from eggs, whatever comes down the autoDL pipeline. :roll: :P :eek: :D

On topic: Good point, David. Still, a supported master chat suite and IRC channels (for Windows, Mac & Linux), broken up by sub-forum, with others for servers & the balance for clans, would be quite lovely.

Too true...:(  :-?  :) :shrug:

I like your breakdown: chat (a master server possibly broken up into sub-rooms, by forum sub-topic), clan (clans get a channel for start-up, competing clans possibly extra channles, if available) & game/server channels (each server in the master list can register for a channel)

Find friend works pukka for me.

And you want a tremulous IRC server and built in client?
Use freenode and xchat.  It works fine for me.
