vb.org Archive - Chat Modifications

I understand about the time. Thanks for putting this whole program together in the first place!

I tried to create a channel. It wouldn't let me do that without creating a command as well. I called the command "test". When I typed in /test in the chatbox .. nothing happened, except that the message "/test" was posted.

I am not quite clear on what channels are, though I think they are basically different chat rooms... such as "join chat for discussing crazy stuff" or "chat for talking about why dogs are better than cats".

I am not clear on what commands are supposed to be, but I think they are things that happen when you type in /command... like in IRC, typing in " /me gives a high five"

would output

"Keyser520 gives a high five".

I also think, again not sure, but think, that a command would let you switch channels, too.

Am I on the right track? What am I missing?

Has anyone out there made a command and channel? I'd really love some help so I can figure out how to get the full potential out of this great mod.

Thanks!

Yes, I am using the latest version of the chatbox. I downloaded it less than two weeks ago from this very page.

I suppose my problem is that i don't understand what "channels" and "commands" are. Could you please verify my assumptions that I posted and tell me if I am on the right track?

Thanks!

Also. when creating a channel, where do I need to put the image file? The field wants a name of the file, not it's extension or location, so i'm trying to figure out where to put the file and what to type in the field.

is it possible to edit the image and name of the general default channel?

it won't let me create a channel unless I've entered something in the command syntax, but I don't have any commands in the drop down menu. How do I get them there...

If I understand things correctly, you have to create a command to create a channel, but basically, that's all that command is for. It won't do anything else, other then allow you to enter the channel. But you don't actually type it in, or anything. It just allows the creation of a new channel.

And yes, channels are separate chat rooms. Think of them as separate channels on your television. Only you can use the permission settings to determine who's allowed to use/view them.

Then I still must be missing something... because I tried to create a channel and type in a random thing for the command to enter that channel, and I see "channel created successfully", but NOTHING changes on the chat and nothing happens when i type in /mycommand other than the display of the text /mycommand

You don't have to use an existing command, you can use the option to create one in the next form. Also, just create a name for your image, and it will show up as a broken image when you reload chat. Right click on it, and view Properties, and it will tell you where the image should be located. It's in a subfolder of your misc folder for all your styles.

Also, commands that came with the modification had to be added one by one. Did you add any of those in? You had to import the Product that handles commands in order to import and get them working.
