New Feature SFO Chat Time Stamps

**LuXv** · 12-05-2013, 07:50 PM

Pretty self explanatory.

Every chat in SFO (chat server and while playing a game using the sliding chat box) there should be a little time stamp on each chat, in the 24-hour format like the forums chat is.

**xfaderx** · 12-05-2013, 08:02 PM

i've thought about this idea before, but I think it should only be staff that get to see it.

Either that or give people a command to turn it off if they want

**LuXv** · 12-05-2013, 08:13 PM

I agree with both statments especially giving peole the option to toggle it on and off.

prob. look somethign like

((DeathLuX)):17:24> Hey hows everything going?
((DeathLuX)):17:25> Anyone here?

or possibly

((DeathLuX))> Hey hows everything going? 17:24

the timestamp will prob. be a diff. color or slgithly trnsparent to tell it aprt fromt he actual text that was inputted.

I like it, but this is clearly a Staff only feature :/

So am kinda torn here a bit. Like it, great idea butttt am not feeling it for members.
...so am still giving it a Yes.

yea ex staff too

**bloodpack** · 12-06-2013, 08:30 AM

but wouldnt that eat much of the game's window/screen space?
considering if a member is a staff or VIP? has a particular title? AND has more than 5 characters in his/her username?

for example:
<~((*iamawesome*))~> (sysop) (rank 1125) : 21:13> hi!

Bump: and what is the purpose of the time stamp and how would you set it if the other players are from a different time zone?

**Shadow_Raichu** · 12-06-2013, 03:49 PM

Voted yes. It is good feature idea, but... this should be a staff-only feature to receive this. I think that us (members) should stick with the chat that's fine the way that it is.

Since when did SFO print out title and rank next to every message?

**LuXv** · 12-06-2013, 04:23 PM

^ IM SAYING

He was prob. Thinking to put rage factor too

But on a serious note the max IGN limit is 15 I believe, and usernames don't take up too much screen space.

Plus there will be a command to shut this off if you don't want it

**(~Vanilla~)** · 12-06-2013, 06:26 PM

You should of put this in the ambs thread first.

**LuXv** · 12-06-2013, 06:29 PM

Honestly didnt know Time Stamps was something so serious, and should only be reserved.

I really wanted this for when im in a game and y partners talking, im like how long ago did he say this or that? and etc.

**~H~Blaze** · 12-07-2013, 02:02 PM

If you guys can find a situation where this would be useful out of the staff realm, sure.

**(SXA)crip** · 12-08-2013, 01:38 PM

Yes for all users, with the option of /timestamp for it to be removed. Can be useful for player reports, other wise staff could just look at the chatlogs.

The ex-amb thread too

**LuXv** · 12-12-2013, 07:52 PM

bUMP!

I think this can be easily added, but guess the real question is whom should have access to it.

Maybe Tmy can make it for VIP's and Higher.

Just to give something to the VIP's
