New website features: Chat and FlashTool

For webpage owners: FlashTool - this thing can create swf files from your recordings (including your own unofficial levelpacks). Great way to show off your riding and design skills

WOW CHAT IS AWESOME!!! do u think u can put something that says "3 minutes ago" or something to let us no when the last comment was made?

THANKS A LOT SZ U ROCK

mike flips

actually, it would have to say the time, not how long ago

This is amazing!! I'll have to put this in the Wiki!

If anyone wants to see some new movies before I add another page to my site for them:

ooops, i forgot to update the css file, the chat texts were supposed to fade out as they get older

(instead of boring timestamps

)

now it should work as designed.

Spence

it would be nice if it said if that person is still logged in or not

mike flips

yea, maybe at the top right it can say people logged into chat... also a timestamp is useful.. the fading is awesome but i cant tell if its 1 minute or 5 minutes

and a little bit of sound if ur window is in the background, so you know when there is a message (can be turned on and off)

also underneath the explanation of fading, how bout say, "Press Enter with no text typed, to refresh"

im upset cause chat doesnt work on a palm tx

Kristopher

I have two suggestions:

For the Chat, could you make a web page that has all of the chat comments from the last 24 hours? I don't want to miss anything.

For the Flash Tool, when the tool gives you the .swf file, could it give the file a better name? I get something like BikeorDieMovie, BikeorDieMovie(2), BikeorDieMovie(3)... Could it name the .swf file based upon the level name?

Bones, do any chats work on the T|X?

bones

yes.....but only like one kind =(

Spence

chat doesnt work on the tx because it doesnt have java-script

Kristopher

Chat Bug: The Text does not fade anymore.

Chat Idea: Some other chat rooms have "bots." If a person in the chat room types, "chatters," a "bot," who is a virtual person in the chat room, could reply by listing the last five users who have visited the chat room. It could also say what time they were last there.

mike flips

yea, and timestamping = useful... and maybe jusut at the right side of the screen, the people logged into chat?

bones

there should be an option to log into chat so it says at the corner true. but also there should be a spot on every page saying who left the last comment and when he did

bones

i have a better idea for this. we could have the last comment on each page who said it and when they said it. then it could update itselfwhen you go to a different page or something like that
