Advanced Members Popular Post Elea Posted January 16, 2017 Advanced Members Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hello, I'd like to introduce you an idea I had. It could either be a free feature or a power, that simplifies a search in a text stream especially if we have been absent for a while from the computer. It would suffice to type a command with the word to highlight it under the chat, so after that, we don’t need to read the entire text. We can choose to have our own username highlighted, for example, and when someone writes it, it would be in a different color and easy to recognize, it would put our attention on it. Also on Trade Chat, it could be an amazing feature if you want to find something specific, and the selection will go faster. The use would be very simple as any basic command that we type under a chat, something like "/h#Keyword" For example, if i type /h#Anar, i would see his username highlighted each time someone writes it (1) Another example with the command /h#days in xat Trade (2) (1) (2) What are your thoughts? 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteers Sydno Posted January 16, 2017 Volunteers Share Posted January 16, 2017 Excellent suggestion. Twitch uses a similar system and that would be a real improvement for xat. Although I'm afraid you would need to use another letter than h, right now I assume /h would be taken as a hush. EDIT: Maybe the h letter isn't even an issue though.

I didn't even know this feature existed on Twitch, I had this idea for quite a long time now. I use a highlighter extension for my searches on the web, and I thought why not such a feature on xat. And for the command, as /h is already taken by the hush power, we could use /hf instead or even something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for a personnal use, other users won't see what you are highlighting. Plus, the goal isn't to highlight a whole paragraph but kay words, you can refer to the examples above. I love this idea, I really think we need this added to xat. It would be such an usefull feature! Edited January 18, 2017 by Anar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 ohh i like this idea i hope will be taken in consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Ryan Posted January 18, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted January 18, 2017 This would work well alongside an @ feature where you can mention a user (using their regname) and it sends them an alert noise that can't be muted if you have the user added. Together these would make a cool new feature and keep xat moving with the times. I wouldn't support this being a power, should be available to all.

Advanced Members Flake Posted January 19, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) FINALLY A GOOD POWER SUGGESTION WELL DONE should probably just be a feature like ryan said but hey ho, id still buy it Edited January 19, 2017 by Flake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Devil Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 Well it would be better if it can work something like Quote My Message /htMY_HIGHLIGHTED_TEXT and other text more.... for make specific text highlight on a pera graph or something like Quote My Message /hf My highlighted text hf/ and other text more... or only first word can be highlighted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone is searching for days to buy or sell. It still has a purpose, similar to Nick, where you give permanent(ish) names to indecisive people.

It'd just be adapted to the chat, detecting words from the ongoing chat too. While I can think of some scenarios where it could be useful to make you're own text highlighted and visible for others, e.g. with contests, when you're the host. But i suppose it doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteers Popular Post SLOom Posted June 10, 2017 Volunteers Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2017 I was bored so I tried to do something.... I didn't attempted to do with the /h cmd, since it wouldn't update the messages automatically (or I problably didn't know how) so I did it with macros ($high). For example, I used the word "sloom" and here are the results with differents backgrounds (glow & square) Example with a simple glow : Example with a simple square : And of course, it can working with multiple words (caps included) and separated by comma. Example: We still can disable it when it's from ourselves; like you will be able to see only on other people words like on this example : I can see only that glow from FEXBot and not on my words. If for example, you set "xats" in macro, and it shows "xat" with a orange glow or background; it would be normal since it tries to look for a similar word and the exact word unless if only the exact word would be tolerated instead of both ways? What do you think about that ? @Admin 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members LaFleur Posted June 20, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just now, Admin said: only you can see this ? Yes, only you. Its just in order to highlight specific things, that should grab your attention. Its really a cool feature, that would be used, especially in trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
