Talk pop up
Why don't we add a little pop up above the heads when the player pressed the "say" button to indicate that that person is going to say something soon and not go off into the hallway never to be seen again so you both can stop and have a nice chit-chat, also with this you can avoid the awkward moments were you both stand there without knowing if someone is going to talk or just standing there minding your own life

Re: Talk pop up
Some servers have this, Other byond games have this.
Precedent for this is that, on other action-filled byond roleplaying games, like MH. for example, when your talking someone can bash you with a bat or something. Since you're not ready for combat.
For this to be avoided, we'd need a new rule added like for example "You may only enter combat after using the me verb and writing out your attack." So the delay gets offset with a combat delay.
Good byond game.

Re: Talk pop up
We've considered this before, I believe. It just isn't a fit for our server.
Aside from the fact that on other servers some people aren't massive douchebags, almost every single fucking server has a far slower movespeed. Lifeweb is a server where you can murder someone because "I'M ROLEPLAYING AS INSANE" and yet it gets away with having the talk popup because by the time you get your weapon ready to stab someone they've probably already finished talking.

I've gotten killed from awassdsasdwad on more than one occasion, I'd rather not help antags identify opportunities to make it happen again

I'm guessing this wouldn't happen if you only use the input bar... like I do.

If you give someone a year to stop shitting on the carpet and they keep doing it but get slightly closer to the bathroom every time and sometimes they get to the toilet before it happens, at what point does it become acceptable to just ask them to go shit in someone else's house?

Re: Talk pop up
Is it even possible to have the typing animation come up for non-hotkey mode say typing? I don't think so. I don't personally like the idea of having such a blatant difference between the two modes, especially since it would impact your ability to rely on the bubble appearing at all.
I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.

I'd like to see it in practice, at worst as a neutral quirk/client preference, I'd still use it

There is a lot of very bizarre nonsense being talked on this forum. I shall now remain silent and logoff until my points are vindicated.

Just came here to say: screech, retards. Screech and writhe like the worms you are. Your pathetic little cries will keep echoing around for a while before quietting down. There is one great outcome from this: I rised up the blood pressure of some of you shitheads and lowered your lifespan. I'm honestly tempted to do this more often just to see you screech and writhe more, but that wouldn't be cool of me. So come on haters, show me some more of your high blood pressure please.![]()

Re: Talk pop up
If that quirk existed. I would want a "Descriptive" quirk to exist as well. So you'd have to write out something using the ME verb before you attack.Mickyan wrote:I'd like to see it in practice, at worst as a neutral quirk/client preference, I'd still use it
We basically make more people RP with quirks

Re: Talk pop up
You can have a text window open indefinitely. Multiple even. Would it be popped-up permanently if I kept a window open for the rest of the round?
