Socoder -> Site & Server -> Mudchat?

spinal	there is no mud chat anymore is there?

Jayenkai	There hadnâ€™t been a conversation in there for about a year, so I didnâ€™t bother to rewrite it when redoing the rest of the site. Given it's been gone about a year and a half with barely anyone mentioning it, I donâ€™t think it's been missed! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	just curious that all

Jayenkai	Is it time to resurrect the MudChat? Is it a wanted feature? Please note the date on this thread, and the lack of interest in the interim! Also, might not be the best time for me to be working on features! But if you guys want it, I'll see what I can do. Might need a complete rewrite, though. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	OK, as a probably-maybe temporary measure, I've Done This.. shudder If I can't find a good way to archive daily logs, though, I might go back to writing my own MudChat. Let me know how you get on with that. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	Discord, an excellent idea!

Kuron	It has been missed, but when I was active on the forums I used to be in there a lot. Forget his name, but was the one fella only about 30 minutes or so from me in Maryland. Was some time ago, though.

Kuron	No interest in joining discord, but if there was ever a chat here on the site again, I would plop myself in there and happily talk away. Like I said, I have missed it, but I was also one of the few using it back then. \|update\| -=-=- \|update\| Discord fractures the community, it is as bad as moving the forum posts to a reddit thread.

Jayenkai	This was mostly the discussion over in the discord thread. I've decided to bring Mudchat back, but it's very old code and needs a rewrite. Right now probably isn't the best time for that, though, what with the house move and all. Discord = very temporary. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Kuron	Think I speak for all of us when I say NOBODY expects anything from you, especially site improvements/changes until you are well settled in your new home and the hassle of the move is a memory. I missed it, but never mentioned it, as I figured I was probably the only one. As chaotic as my life has been where I have been extremely busy for many years, now I am more in a routine, I am home and have a more normal schedule. Even when working on stuff, I like to sit in a chat room, as well. Mentioned old friend Jerry in another thread, we sat and talked all day in the iBasic chatroom when I was doing work for a defense contractor. Before that it was sitting for hours in the DB chatroom while doing contract work. Discord is a mixed bag. I do not like joining a bunch of services. IRC was a bit different, especially when Opera had a built in IRC client. You like to joke about the code of SoCoder, but it is one of the most stable and secure sites I have ever been a member of. Part of why I use it for private notes and such, as you have outlasted a couple of "note" services. Your self-deprecating humor aside, SoCoder makes most forums and communities its bitch when it comes to stability and security.

Jayenkai	I've started work on a new iteration of the mudchat. It currently looks like the image above, but nothing as-of-yet has been functionally added to the site. The html is much neater than it used to be, though! All of the above is functional in only 78 lines of code.. Though, no doubt once I've added a bazillion functions, web callbacks, icons, and all of that, it'll get messy as all hell.. .. But for now, at least, it's neat enough. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Initial testing may be had here -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Today's tweaks. Mudchat 1. Boop : Boop should work. Took me a while to get it to not mute my iPad's background music, but I think it should be ok, now. 2. Logo : Because the Boop wouldn't work without a "first interaction" thing. 3. Theme : Because who doesn't love a marginally better theme in a Mudchat!? 4. "Enters the Mudchat" : Because that was a bit odd, not having that! I also spam-protected that, so it doesn't double up if you refresh, or come back later when nobody else has entered. Is that all I did, today? Because, damn, that took forever! I blame CSS for most of today's difficulties!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	Works for me, clicked on the giant phone and was transported to the chat room.

Kuron	Thanks for providing a way to disable the sound

Jayenkai	Today's upgrades.. (You may need to refresh to see them all) Smilies I've converted these to plain emoji, because my code got all kerfuddled!! Linkable Chatlog Mostly functional. Gets a bit wibbly wobbly towards the early part of the chat log, but you should be able to click on the little left-side timestamp thing, and it'll open up the matching result in the logs. There's no auto-scroll thing, though, so you'll only get the 30 log events either side of the thing you've clicked. .. You can click the timestamps inside the log page to move through it, though. eg ok.. seems working.. I still need to tweak the log output a little, for BBCode and whatnot, but .. kinda works Beep - Volume There's now 0/1/2/3 in the volume button icon. It currently defaults to 3. I haven't yet cookie'd the setting. Active user list Up at the top should be a list of current users. After 2 minutes, they're dropped from the list. Is 2 minutes too long?! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Kuron	Any way to disable the active user list? Besides being completely unnecessary, it is annoying. \|update\| -=-=- \|update\| I blocked it on my end and it is staying blocked.
Sun, 13 Aug 2023, 12:12
Kuron	Also just blocked the annoying beep and it is staying blocked. Cookies for the settings would still be good for others, though.

Kuron	Loving the regular emojis ðŸ¦©

Jayenkai	Drag'n'Drop uploading is now functional in the mudchat. : Download .. and since I've worked on that.. : Download Drag'n'Drop uploading is now functional on the rest of the site, too. Let me know if anything breaks along the way. : Download -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Kuron	Other than helping you test the other day, I can't think of another time in my life I have ever used drag and drop for anything, or any app, or any OS or any situation. Mainly because I always have shit fullscreen and it is very difficult to drag and drop between two fullscreen windows.

Jayenkai	I'd hate to see your bungalow, if all the windows are layered on top of each other at the full size of the front of the building!!! Maybe just one full width bi-fold door, but not all the windows on top of each other like that!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Kuron	For a house, I would have no windows or as few as possible. That was a major issue Carolyn and I Had when trying to find our new house. Minimal number and minimal size of windows. Do not want to be in a fishbowl, and all those fancy big windows, somebody has to clean them. Never been big on the sunlight blaring in as it hears the house up too much. In an emergency, I am not exiting a window, I am KOOL-AIDing through the wall.

Kuron	Meanwhile, Discord was hacked to hell and back, and Jay's Mudchat is still smooth sailing.
