[Userscript+PDA] Better Chat

hey, this is a wonderful script! but how can u change the color of all the other people i speak with at once ? like i have green and rest of the faction has red or somthing. and again thanks for making a script like this!

Thanks for adding the settings panel & the ability to space entries out slightly.

The only real issue I can see just now, is that the only way to close the settings panel is to refresh the page. Could a 'Save' or 'Close' button be added to it (settings do save fine and, I realise they're not implemented until a new page loads anyway, it's just a bit clunky needing to refresh the current page, before navigating to another page)?

Also, is the 'add/remove' highlights option, to enable highlighting different people in a specific colour (eg. so you can highlight your faction leaders as 1 colour, those with bank access as another colour, etc)? If so, that's really cool but, how do you implement it? I tried changing %player% to the persons username (inside the two %) but, it didn't change anything.


It seems there's another issue; the highlight for my own name doesn't always show. It was when I originally posted this, now it's not (this has happened before over the last few days, I just thought this version might fix it).


A quick question, though....what does the "Autocomplete when entering an message inside of a group box" setting do, exactly? I've activated it but, I'm not seeing anything different when typing, for example, in the faction box (as always, I'm using TornPDA).

Amazing work. Is there any chance in the future to move company and faction so they appea next to notes instead of being hidden behind new button?

It's the "make the chat significantly compacter" option that does it, specifically deselecting it adds the extra padding around each entry, making things slightly clearer to read (I can see the benefits of making it more compact, it's probably just down to personal preference).


I've just discovered by accident, that if you open the settings panel and tap the background around it (on mobile, specifically TornPDA), without changing any settings, the panel closes. However, as soon as you change a setting, this won't work, so a page refresh is required. I just figured this might be worth mentioning for debugging purposes. :-)


Yep! Removed the %% and the highlight is working for the chosen player. This is actually pretty damn cool! :-D


The intermittent highlight is probably being caused by the inherent bugs in the system itself. Some of the guys in the faction have mentioned some strange glitches that only they're seeing, so it could just be related to that. Not a huge issue, I guess but, hopefully the core system will be stabilised soon and things work properly overall.

Thank you DeKleineKobini, you are doing wonderful work. First time since the release that I actually spent time in the new chat system. Looking forward to chatting again. Thank you for updating the system as you have time, even if RL is as hectic as it can be sometimes.

Just learned of this thanks to Skeletron mentioning it. FANTASTIC! Thank you DeKleineKobini!

Would it be possible to sort the people lists by last online time, especially the faction list, miss the old chat as it did that

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
The icons were a bad idea from the start, nobody wanted them

There's really only 1 issue I can pinpoint right now, that's with the settings panel. In dark mode, the text is light gray on a white background, so I need to highlight it all to be able to read it. XD

I might be in the minority here but, it just seems worth mentioning. You've near enough outdone those who are getting paid to implement the chat system (and the website in general), so overall this is a bloody good effort! \m//
