Josh23 Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Ok decided to make a chat, as I have not seen many flawless chats which can be fully integrated into MCCodes around. Purpose of this thread is so that I can get suggestions on how to improve this chat. Screenshot of the chat below; What is added; * Users can chat... * Send new chat and view chats * Smart refresh feature... (Checks for new chats at a lower rate if chat is idle, although maintaining a almost "real time feedback" from the chat) * No wait for chat to appear after sending * Smilies (New can be added from chat staff panel, which is yet to be coded) * URL's are converted safely into click able links * Action Words (Like /me, /time, /logout etc...) ** All this chats are saved with a text file ** ** Also to reduce bandwidth, It only fetches NEW chats so if no new chats are there, it updates nothing ** What I plan to add; * Admin panel to... * Mute and kick * Details of account, that can be accessed directly from chat (IP Address etc) * Fully functional "Online Users Panel" * Adjustable chat width * Different chat rooms, ADD-ABLE FROM A STAFF PANEL Suggested suggestions; * How the user should see a whisper * Layout of chat (I do plan to integrate different styles) * Additional Features * Basically everything * Including price as yes this is going to be a paid mod as alot of time has/will go into this Cheers for reading EDIT: Also this chat currently opens in a pop-up window, should it ? or not ?

Rory_M Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Sounds good, i would suggest using a popup as it doesnt use up space, also can you add screenies please. :) Quote
Josh23 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 Thats what I get. This should be an interesting mod if it all works. @Danny, Cheers, and sorry don't know why that happened, but I re-uploaded should work now @Rory, cheers and fixed link Quote
Danny696 Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Looks good, should defiantly use the popup idea. How much are you looking for this chat? Quote
Josh23 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 That's what I wanted suggesting Lol, Keeping in mind all the features actually get coded, what price should it be around ? Quote
Danny696 Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Well, No more than $10, I honestly believe no chat would be worth more than that, I'd say from $7-$10. More than that wouldn't be worth any chat in my opinion. Quote
Dominion Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 That's what I wanted suggesting Lol, Keeping in mind all the features actually get coded, what price should it be around ? No one is ever going to price your mod correctly if it's going to sell well anyway. ;) Looks nice. Can I ask what programming languages you have used? If you have gone the way I would assume you have... Any libraries being used? As for suggestions is there a live demo so I can see the user interface in action? Quote
Josh23 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 @ Dominion, PHP used for back-end stuff (formating chat) and detecting users etc MYSQL used for fetching user info Javascript used for validation ect... jQuery (Javascript libary) to send chats (real-time) and view chats etc.. NO jQuery plugins are being used! CSS used for style of chat Quote
Djkanna Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Is there a demo to this? Or have I just skimmed past the link? Quote
Djkanna Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Not yet DJK Ah, thanks. Maybe I should just read the whole posts more often. Best of luck, and please provide a demo Josh23. (: Quote
Josh23 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 Why is a demo needed lol ? I'm only asking for suggestions, not to test it. Sorry Quote
Djkanna Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Why is a demo needed lol ? I'm only asking for suggestions, not to test it. Sorry Well how can we offer improvement suggestions to existing features, if we cannot use said features? Quote
rulerofzu Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 A demo is required to judge how it all works. There was one posted recently on MWG which was slow due to the way it was coded. Quote
Josh23 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 @rulerofzu, but that was getting sold so a demo is going to be helpful to the ones who buy it. and, ill try get a demo up in the next week then.. Quote
