Time beside the tanker's nickname


Recommended Posts

I have an idea      Adding time that the message in chat has been send beside the player's nickname, in main chat and in battle chat. You'll also have the ability to show the time or not, that option will be in settings.

 

Example on how it will look:

 

[21:01] Nickname: ...

[21:03] Nickname      Nickname: ...

 

The first number refers to how many hours have past. (Usually hours will be rare to seen due to some very active servers such as EN3, RU1 etc... and it can be visible in the low population servers).

 

The second number refers to how many minutes have past.

 

Time would be synchronized at local time of each player. As the time / clock is synchronized at local time of a player on the front page of the Tanki Online Wiki. By players IP address, time zone would be determined as it is country for Payment section. The time before the message will be in some color which is less exhaustive for the eyes.

 

 

What do you think guys?

Under review

 

Sounds good

 

What's the utility ?

Allows you to see how much time passed since the last message, so that you don't end up replying to something that has been said many hours ago. On second thought, that doesn't happen very often so this idea might only be good if it's available as an option.

Yes, I agree with you. Some players would find the chat very untidy with those times and some will enjoy it, so it's better to set an option in settings called "Show message time". If you want to see the time, you'll have to tick the box      if not, you'll have to leave the box empty.

Why not, but if I may suggest a slight change...

 

Instead of (time passed):

 

The first number refers to how many hours have past. (Usually hours will be rare to seen due to some very active servers such as EN3, RU1 etc... and it can be visible in the low population servers).

 

The second number refers to how many minutes have past.

21:27 MAFlOS0 - Darren4Turbo: Hello

21:29 Player xy has been warned, reason flood

21:34 Darren4Turbo - MAFlOS0: How are you?

21:40 MAFlOS0 - Darren4Turbo: Fine, thank you

21:47 UwH_BPL: Please keep the chat clean

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Player with UTC time, would see the same public conversation:

 

20:25 Darren4Turbo - MAFlOS0: Hi

20:27 MAFlOS0 - Darren4Turbo: Hello

20:29 Player xy has been warned, reason flood

20:34 Darren4Turbo - MAFlOS0: How are you?

20:40 MAFlOS0 - Darren4Turbo: Fine, thank you

20:47 UwH_BPL: Please keep the chat clean

I really like your suggestion. I added it on the front page.

Although, maybe it would be better that the time before the message is in some color less exhaustive for the eyes. Anyway as far as I can see in your idea, the time would be secondary thing in the chat

 

Like this:

 

21:25 Darren4Turbo - MAFlOS0: Hi

21:27 MAFlOS0 - Darren4Turbo: Hello

21:29 Player xy has been warned, reason flood

21:34 Darren4Turbo - MAFlOS0: How are you?

21:40 MAFlOS0 - Darren4Turbo: Fine, thank you

Make it optional.. Not really necessary tho. The chat should get freshened after every match to make it tidy. Show the time when you click on the players name rather.

Yes, I already said that you will have the ability to show the time or not, that option will be in settings.
