Administrators Popular Post Admin Posted November 13, 2017 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2017 PcBack Shuffle has been suggested so I thought I'd look at this. My proposal is it will stored in a macro and a random image selected every time you join a chat Could consider some complications eg these images for friends, these images for no friendds Also I propose to show your PCBack if the user doesn't have their own Any thoughts / ideas please add here. prov Spec: PCBACK boost: set avatar to : https://avatar#https://pcback#https://friendpcback Note friend applies if they have you added $pcbs=https://pcback,https://pcback,https://pcback,fhttps://friendpcback,fhttps://friendpcback,fhttps://friendpcback 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members Skatel Posted November 13, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 therefore it is a good idea and it could be while writing in the private of the person that the image changes (as well as the avatar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members LaFleur Posted November 13, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 So i guess the 1st pcback will still be within avatar field and any additional backgrounds like $pbshuffle=link1,link2,link3? 8 minutes ago, Admin said: Also I propose to show your PCBack if the user doesn't have their own Yes, this sounds very good. Would this require PCBackShuffle or would this be an update to PCback? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteers SLOom Posted November 13, 2017 Volunteers Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Good initiative in this thread ! And I think, it should random a pcback when you open/close the private chat. (Instead of rejoin the chat) And the idea to show the PCBACK when user doesnt have one is really great. (Maybe also allow gif images as pcback ? @Admin) Edited November 13, 2017 by SlOom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteers Popular Post Cupim Posted November 13, 2017 Volunteers Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2017 Will the PCBACK-Shuffle image change every time we re-open the Private Chat, OR will you allow us to set a timer? A timer option means we can make the pcbackshuffle power work like animate power does If the timer idea sounds good, please add some limitations to prevent flashing backgrounds (fast animations in black and white) e.g. Maybe minimum about 4 seconds and a max of 60 seconds And besides making the PCBack-Shuffle power, xat could update the old PCBack power with the new complications. That is: Update the old PCBack power to work with the macros = 1 PCBack for friends, 1 PCBack for non friends. Anyway, good idea! It will be fun to make subtle animations within our private chat backgrounds. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be at least 15 seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members Brabo Posted November 13, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 Great idea! I believe that the best option for the use mode is in macro form, avoiding such complications in the picture field. It would be even more interesting if there was a timer to work the photo alternations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gatta be joking man ---- Aren't macros easily reset? Seems like users would get annoyed having to re-do their pcback shuffle @Admin Edited November 13, 2017 by Cryo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing the pcback to shuffle in minute intervals would be more realistic ex. 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 8 minutes etc. On a bit of a side note, it would be nice to have 1 power designated to pcback customization. One that allows users to shuffle their pcback, one that allows users to add flix to their pcback (if they have the right power) - in hopes they will be used more etc. 5 minutes ago, Cryo said: Aren't macros easily reset?

I just can't see this power being worth purchasing, let alone using, if your macro would just reset all the time. More discussion about that should be had.

But, it shouldn't be done that way because macros are unreliable. If they use the avatar field, sure, I'm all for the power being made. However... Why can't we just tie this into the original shuffle (edit: or pcback), instead of making an entirely new power for people to buy? I say add more functionality to the original.

They prefer when a new power is made especially when it adds a tons of new features or if you can make profits on it. But well, it works like that with admins.

(shrug) There isn't much profit to be made off of recent powers. This shouldn't be taken into consideration when developing a feature that clearly would be an upgrade to either PCBack or Shuffle.

Updating a power is a solution but it has no profits for admins so they are "forced" to make a new one but I understand your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them choosing not to update an already existing power (two, actually) just so they can make money off of sales is absurd. This is how we end up with 467 powers, 90% of which are never used.

What if you need Shuffle + Pcback to use PcBackShuffle ? Both of them would be used so 88%. And anyways, they would do an update on PcBack power about seeing your own PCBACK if the user doesn't have one.

I assume that would be the requirement, to have both. This whole power idea should be an update to the already existing PCBack, end of discussion. I won't be surprised if it isn't, though.

From there, just upload it to imgur (or wherever else). However if you look into that thread, it's noted how this is an unfriendly compromise. One step at a time, I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
