Oliver Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Most members of Osbot use the client daily but never post anything on the forums. They come online to check the script section and that's it. (If they even come online). I was thinking about some kind of live-feed from the forum and a live chatbox. more about this later. How would it look like? There could be a left or right bar with the ability to hide it for those who don't like it. Orion/osbuddy has something similar with live tweets from Jagex. Live chatbox bar: Members can use the chatbox direct over the client. Live Forums feed: Members see the newest post or topic (they could change the settings), to comment or interact they could either do it directly over the client, or over a pop up button to open the forums. (Not sure what is better depending the programming). What is the sense of this? - We all want to welcome more active members to the forums don't we? This is a great way to animate people to become more active and interested in the forums. - Osbot would be the first runescape client with an in build chat function connected to the forums. - Word in mouth marketing. What speaks against it (user site) ? Nothing, if you don't like it you can minimize it. What speaks against it (developers) ? I have no idea how much work this is so I can't answer this part. What speaks against it (Moderators) ?More work, I am pretty sure every mod would welcome more active members though! -> -> -> -> -> IMPORTANT <- <- <- <- <- Please use the POLL SYSTEM and comment using the templet below: Do you like and support the idea in general? : If you don't like it, write what is wrong? : Anything else? : 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysteryy Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I posted a chat the I integrated on the client a while back. The problem is if this kind of project got pushed on to alek/zach you would see a hit on client updates. This kind of thing would take a good amount of their time to design. http://osbot.org/forum/topic/64139-something-i-have-been-working-on/ Edited February 14, 2015 by Mysteryy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irwtonrs1 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I think we need to see @MGI's anti-ban update before things like this are ever even considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer Maxi Posted February 21, 2015 Developer Share Posted February 21, 2015 This would be hard to implement with the forum's chat because as far as I'm aware the IP.Chat protocol isn't public. A chat module however is possible, but there are more important things that we work on. A simple irc implementation shouldn't take too much time, we'll keep this in mind. If anyone wants to write this and provide it then we can consider to implement it in the client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Maxi Posted February 21, 2015 Developer Share Posted February 21, 2015 On a second look, the IP.chat server seems to be reachable and the api is reachable. I'll keep this in mind, I'm all for this feature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
