Advanced Members xCody Posted May 3, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted May 3, 2016 Billy Mays back here with ... The Totally Awesome Rank Based Chat Scroller! The idea is simple. I propose that a feature be added to allow main owners and owners to be able to set different scroller messages for every user rank below Owner. For example, /s,mod There will be a staff meeting on May 3rd at 5pm EST! /s,member Welcome back! You're an awesome member! /s,guest Welcome to this chat! Read our blog to learn how to earn member and /s would still change the scroller message for all users. What are your thoughts on this feature? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteers Sydno Posted May 3, 2016 Volunteers Share Posted May 3, 2016 Would you need to set 2 scrollers if you want your members AND mods to see the same message? Is that technically possible to set different scrollers at the same time? If not, the idea is still good, hoping mods would be able to see scrollers destinated to members and guests, members able to see scrollers destinated to guests.

Wiki Editors Arthur Posted May 3, 2016 Wiki Editors Share Posted May 3, 2016 This has been suggested before. I personally don't think it should be implemented; we already have it on FEXBots (not sure about other bot providers), and it wouldn't be easy to manage scroll messages, unless admin coded a panel or something which is unlikely.

Advanced Members Brandon Posted May 3, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted May 3, 2016 For far too long, bots have implemented features that xat should have implemented. I support this idea. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members LaFleur Posted May 3, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted May 3, 2016 This is a really good suggestion. If its possible, i don't know why it shouldnt be added. For a second i thought that the (announce) power might become useless with this being added, considering its 2000xats, but a scroll isn't as neat as the announcement power, so i guess, it is fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members Sean Posted May 3, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted May 3, 2016 This would be very useful for the users who don't have the funds for a bot. I like how you recommended this as a feature rather than a power. I support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Harrison Posted May 3, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted May 3, 2016 I support this idea and suggest that scrolls for each rank should be in their corresponding pawn color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members Daniel Posted May 4, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 This is definitely really useful. There should be a way to set this such as that you can do "/s,member+" or something so all ranks above member will see it UNLESS that rank has it's own scroller or something like that.

Advanced Members Alexis Posted May 5, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sounds.. good. So, everyone can change the scroller? It doesn't have to be just main owner/owner only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be just main owner/owner only? That would ultimately come down to the main owners preference. I think it should be generic (owners/main owners only) and if they feel like moderators and members are fit to make scrolls then they can modify those settings with Gcontrol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members Ryan Posted May 8, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted May 8, 2016 This is a really good idea. Personally i've never been a huge fan of bots, and I agree with many in that bots have features which undoubtably xat should already have. I think more things like this should be added so we have a decreased dependency on bots, causing less concern when they go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Admin Posted March 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2018 /sAll get this and reset everything (blank message turn scroller off) /so,owner message /sm,Mod message /sb,Memeber message /sg,Guest message /som, owners and mod message Suggest if not message set shows next lowest rank message 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Daniel Posted March 12, 2018 Advanced Members Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) If im correct, if you do: ”/sgHello guests!” ”/soHello owners!” Then “/sHello everyone else”” Everything is cleared and only the /s message is shown? What about: ”/sHello all!” ”/soBan all trolls!” Does this clear the /s message? The way it should work is that that: /s = default (shows if no rank specific scroll is set) Edited March 12, 2018 by Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
