Test: RealTime ChatSystem

  • Hi all,


    at this time we are testing a new integrated Communication-System.


    By this system, users will be able to communicate directly with all other players in realtime.


    While you're logging in, a popup will open and establishing a connection to the gameserver.
    This popup will only show u while testing.


    After our testing of this system, we will implement it directly into the current design or using the current popup-version, if testing was successfull.


    Have fun

  • The second test phase was initiated.


    The Communication-System is now includes in both designs.
    At this time, it supports only one channel, therefore alle players (german, english, etc.) will able to talk only in this mixed window.


    With our next phases of test, we will include further channels to seperate users into other channels.


    Industry Tycoon is a MMOG, therefore we included this RealTime-Com-System für conversation.

  • Round 3 of our tests.


    We have now implemented the channel-system.
    It's now able to select diffent channels to be seperated of other players.
    At this time all players will seperated by their choice of language-selection while logging in.
    But you can change your channel at every time.


    There are some information about the channels:


    All messages sent from one channel will be received by the same channel, and will be received by the GLOBAL-Channel.


    So all players using the GLOBAL-Channel are able to read all conversations in all three channels.
    Players in GLOBAL-Channel must change into the correct channel to react on a message which came from an other channel.
    Therefore all messages in GLOBAL-Channel will marked with the channel they sent off.


    There are also additional information:
    We are going to test this new system for the next days.
    Therefore the communication-system will sometimes be offline.
    Everytime we update the system or nobody of the admins is online, we deactivate the comm-sys to prevent unattended bugs.
