Feature Request: Tell Timestamp

SaberX · Post by **SaberX** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 5:51 pm

I have a request that I think would be rather benificial to many people. It would be great to have an option to turn on a Timestamp feature to incoming tells. Such that if JoeBob sends me a tell, I see this:
JoeBob tells you, (07:42pm) "Blah Blah Blah"

Im pretty sure macroquest would be able to do this, but not positive. Im working on figuring out the macroquest code right now, but i dont think I would know where to start in doing such a thing. Just looking for some feedback on the idea, and if one you great devs can wipe up some code for that really quick, it would be great! Thanks

The place to start would be the CChatHook Detour, found in EQLib_Hooks.cpp. If you know C it shouldn't take you long, but dont have time to do this myself, good luck :)

well until i get around to it, or someone else does you can just

Code: Select all

/mqlog @Param1 told me @Param2 at $date() $time()

or something like that

You might want to hold off on this a bit. They are going to restructure the way tells work, turning it into an instant messenger type setup where a new window pops up when you receive a tell, and all tells from the same person go to that window. Different windows for different people, etc.

That doesn't sound that great to me

I hope they make that optional, I really wouldn't want that unless I was afk

This is actually a feature I have long sought, and made numerous /feedback's with.

This is untested, but it's a bit more advanced, and looks in all channels for your name being "spoken" as well as tells.

Code: Select all

#chat say
#chat ooc
#chat shout
#chat tell
#chat group
#chat auc
#chat chat

Sub Main
	/if "$defined(Param0)"=="FALSE" /goto :Loop
	:Loop
		/doevents
	/goto :Loop
	:End
/return

Sub Event_Chat
	/if "@Param0"!="tell" /if "@Param2"!~"$char(name)" /goto :End
	/ini "away.ini" "@Param0" "$date(y)/$date(m)/$date(d) $time(h):$time(m):$time(s)" "<@Param1> @Param2"
	:End
/return
