Title: Chat window - sign, your partner is writing
Post by: Lover on February 01, 2012, 12:43:42 PM
In each messenger software you see when your chat partner is writing, usually there are 3 little points running.
Is it a) possible and b) a good idea to have something like this, too?

I think it would be helpful. Though I believe it's just possible in room. Outside everyone can write to you and it could be impossible oder very confusing.
What do you think?

I agree, outside the room it would be useless and only confusing but inside it would be very helpfull, that way we can avoid writing over each other when being descriptive or rping

it is a very good idea. I know I for one like knowing that someone is writing me so I can wait for what they are saying then they can see that i'm typing a response to what they said.

The more communication improvement, the better. Sometimes I am writing, and they have already said, "Yes." ::)

With the usual mesengers, you open a seperate chat when you are talking, allowing more information to be shown. The way AChat is set up is, as soon as you log in, you are approachable to all.
Displaying a message that your partner is writing, means a new chat-connection would have to be made. Inside the room is a different situation. Still, I think the whoe set-up of axchanging messages should be re-createdif they want to make this possible..

Giving the chat an overhaul would be nice, it's kinda cumbersome at times now and yes, an indication that shows when you partners is writing while in a room would be nice.

@Tight: Lover is not asking to make it work like messenger in the general chat, but only in room, or this is what i had understand. it will be a really good solution in some RP, cause you risk to overwrite your partner message sometimes......well this happend in a normal chat too, anyway.

About the general chat, i think we really need some sort of filter or the famous "busy button". mmmmmhhh, wonder what the dev-team think of this!

You're right hentai. I thought about the idea of this sign and very fast I recognized, it's just possible in room.
Of course, it must not be the 3 points, I'm open minded. E.g. the colour of the person's name who is writing changes, an insertion ....

It would be perfect to have to in general chat, too. But the usual solution would lead to a mess, I'm sure.

Hiya's...

   I like this idea, too.  It would be useful to see that I am about to be responded to or asked something.  Especially for me because I talk a lot.. (lol) both here and in Real Life.  'Though there have been time when I am with someone in a room and we are so connected that we type practically the same thing.  That can feel awsome.  :D

Thanks for letting me share,
Pafe
