Public Realm Chat

Post by Ardennesss »

Please make the public realm chat send a notify call to ChatUI, preferably with an urgency of 1. Looks like this Channel is stored server side so I don't seem to have much control of it and how it works client side. Very annoying to wander over to that channel and see a conversation has been happening for hours.

Edit: Disregard, figured it out. Code below for anyone else who wants to do it. Replaces uimsg in the UI class.

Edit2: Nm, grabbing it in the uimsg causes a crash when going into a building.

Edit3: Turns out checking the widget name in the uimsg causes an MCache crash despite being nested inside a wdg != null if statement. Guessing it's somehow related to loading/unloading widgets when changing maps. Whatever, I hard coded it to only check for widget #55 which seems to be RealmChannel message receipts. Probably not sustainable, but maybe Jorb/Loftar will fix it long term by just by default updating the channel urgency to 1 on message receipt.

in that case you should also be able to mute or silence the chat so i dont get constant notifications if the chat is irrelevant to me.
see homo sexuality trending,. do not do that.

Would be trivial, tie it to a Config setting tick-box to enable/disable the alerts. +1
