Option to turn Icons on and off in chat

[WherewolfTherewolf]

For a while drama over icons in chat has been a constant argument that no one's willing to compromise on.

How about an option that allows people to enable and disable icons all together in chat.

In this way, people how dislike icons can turn them off and have them out of site, out of mind while others who aren't so easily annoyed by them can leave them on.

(as originally suggested by Dan van Ohllus)

I'm for this idea

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I also suggested the same feature for custom colours as well.

Agreed, a toggle for both icons and colours.

 

[The World Is Flat]

i dont rly care. but i say nay, or just use TriggerHappys fucking chat.

 

[Hakeem]

To get rid of icons:
/eval User.prototype.drawIcon = function(){};

To get rid of colored names:
/eval User.prototype.drawName = function(par){var node = newEle(par,'span');node.style.cursor = 'pointer';node.style.fontWeight = 'bold';if (this.id == this.name){chat.sendMessage('3 user ' + this.id);};var self = this;node.onclick = function(ev){self.nameClick(ev);};newText(node,this.name);return node;};

I know, Hakeem, but a shorter command that represents that line (should be easily implemented) instead of having to look it up every time you join chat OR make it permanent.

Could also be useful if you could toggle one user's icon at a time, same with colour.

So yeah, when I say toggle, I don't mean a rather complicated line of code (at least for those who can't code).

Eh, this seems a bit too specific
I'm thinking all or nothing - that way it makes everyone think do they really care enough to disable custom icons and colors?

You know it's just going to end up with Pyritie, Hakeem and a few others having icons while ignoring everyone else. This seems hypocritical.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Was I suppose to type (or copypasta) that code in the chat, Hakeem?
Cause in that case, that only works on upcoming posts and people. And it's not permanent, so I have to type it again next time when I enter the chat.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Specific? Heck, it's my chat, and the only opinion that matters is mine. Who the fuck cares if I disable TWIF's icon because I don't like that specific icon. It'll only be in my chat anyway.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well the thing is that TWIF did pay for that icon, it's not like Rep which is free.... here you run into the odd conditions

 

[Dr Super Good]

There is a link parameter that lets you run the chat in reduced graphic mode. It was designed for use on small screen devices like the Iphone and TriggerHappy explained how to use it in chat.

 

[Pyritie]

To get rid of icons:
/eval User.prototype.drawIcon = function(){};

To get rid of colored names:
/eval User.prototype.drawName = function(par){var node = newEle(par,'span');node.style.cursor = 'pointer';node.style.fontWeight = 'bold';if (this.id == this.name){chat.sendMessage('3 user ' + this.id);};var self = this;node.onclick = function(ev){self.nameClick(ev);};newText(node,this.name);return node;};

Turn those into little commands and it's a done deal.

turn those into little button and wouldn't it be easier ?
easier=dun need to type anything / remember anything just to turn icons and coloured text off but all u have to do is to click on a single(or two) to do it

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

@Crimson

/icons off

Isn't exactly that hard to remember

 

[Crimson-Guard]

and its even easier just to press a button >.>

 

[Statharas]

Colored chat is prety :0
Those buttons will ruin the way the chat looks like. Just add permanent commands, like /icons off, and /cn off.

So? My neighbour paid for his decorations, doesn't mean I've seen it nor want to see it - should he be complaining?

I agree, its FOR TWIF, not to be shoved forcefully into other peoples faces simply because he paid for it, it's a personal decoration...

Anyway, I agree. I'm for the options of this turned into a chat command.

 

[Billy the Cat]

1. Those commands aren't permanent
2. It doesn't affect the lobby list

 

[The World Is Flat]

Dont bring me into this. ralle gives custom icons out. its you who wants to use the chat. as i belive somone sid in chat (referring to custom icons) Its not a right, its a privilige.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well that doesn't mean you can go and tell him to remove his decorations either, you just ignore them there, ignore it here.

But then again, with the options to turn off icons we don't need to have this argument

It's a right if you are promising users an icon on the donation page, not a privilege as far as I know.

This doesn't follow. You aren't removing them, you are simply making them not be in your face.

Anyhow, some of the icons and colours are getting really ridiculous. It would be nice to be able to revert to a more reasonable setup (ie turn them off).

 

[TriggerHappy]

Okay, I've decided to make a custom chatroom to fit your guys' needs.
You can find it here.

It disables all custom icons.
And you can type /colors to toggle chat colors off / on.

Have fun.
