GM Script: chatglove - a floating game chat - version 1.6.16

by **Dako** on Thu Dec 09, 2010 3:00 pm

Can you please make Game Chat [x] link go to the first game with new chat? Or open My Games page and scroll to the 1st game marked with new chat.

Also - what does Reset chatglove does? Can you add an alert or something to notify user that something has been actually resetted?

Great job so far, need to check the code and maybe you are doing even better than I think :).

Reset chatglove sets the chat window to the top left of the main CC content area. It was added so that people who (somehow) moved their chat window out of the viewable area of the screen could get it back.

He's doing great!

WOW Dustin, you are amazing. Only had it 1 day and already added a great new feature to ignore certain games. That is awesome because I always have 1 or 2 pesky games that have irritated me.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I am having a lot of fun doing this so far. Turns out this scripting thing is awesome!

Dako, I will look into your suggestions.

Love the ignore-update! =D>

Now, can you make my laptop screen bigger so I can take fully advantage of the floating chat? 8-)

Unfortunately, that is a feature that is a bit out of my skill level...

Dako?

I was only joking. Not much extra space on my 12,1" screen

I can barely see all of the largest maps without scrolling. Thank God for clickies :lol:

Thanks to fox for the great script. Also thanks for the fix and taking it over.

I have an update ready to go that will make the Game Chat [x] link go to the first game with a new chat. It will also change "Reset chatglove" to "Reset chat position", and give a confirm box when you click on it saying "This will reset the position of the floating chat window. Continue?".

Any other bugs or enhancement requests that anybody has? I would rather batch them up so that I don't keep spamming people with updates.

New version posted, including the changes mentioned above, and Chrome support as well.

Awesome work!!!!!!!

Got a suggestion!
When you post in a game chat it than marks the game as "unread". You should add event handler to game chat button (or to game refresh event) and unmark the chat so your own lines don't show as new ones.

Great work so far!

I have never seen it mark my own chats as New Chats, because I am on the page when I type them - instantly marked as read. I have only seen that occur when I chat from a different computer.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

by **Chuuuuck** on Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:57 am

It has never marked my own chat as new chat.

One suggestion I had forever ago (and I think it is impossible) is to some how tie chatglove to our accounts so when I use multiple computers it still recognizes which chats I have read and which ones I haven't kind of like how the forums work currently.

I think you would need some access to the site that you don't currently have though so I am pretty sure it isn't possible, but just a suggestion. I thought the creative BOB solution for snapshots in chat was awesome.

I use Google Chrome, and when I click [detach chat] nothing happens. It might be me, but just a heads up.

My detach chat works fine

But just now, all the sudden, every single active game says new chat, wen 90 percent of them has no new chat... This is the first time this has happened

Very weird. Did you recently upgrade browser versions? Clear out internal memory? Any other scripts acting up? My first thought was that somehow your browser lost the persistent memory used by the script to store the last time the chat was read.

None of those things

All other scripts are fine, clickable maps was fine.. I thought at first that it could have been cause of the sites clickable maps, but then I realized that it happened after clickies was site-wide..
IDK it didn't happen again, it is running fine and normal now, so it is no big deal. Just posted it here for reference, in case it happens to someone else too
