SS Web Chat
Hey Guys, I've spent the last couple days or so converting parts of the external client's code and adding some new UI to make it into a brand new web chat. I've simplified the UI a ton and made it pretty similar to the SS chat itself. It hasn't been thoroughly tested so this is a beta of sorts. You can access it here: http://www.starsonata.com/webchat/ (login with your SS credentials, but it will log you out of game if its the same account) Features that may not instantly be apparent: - Click name in chat to PM - Double click name in team list to PM - Up arrow in the input field will bring last chats, down will go back down the history of input. Known Issues: - Some / commands won't work (/friends for example) - The first closeable PM tab has a weird close icon sometimes. Future Development: - Logoff button (can be done by closing or refreshing the window) - Sound when receive PM in unfocused tab - Downloadable version? Feedback welcome. I hope you enjoy this better then the external client since there is no download and its much simpler to use. Also it's been tested on Linux (had a bug in Flash's linux implementation we had to work around) and it worked. Requires Flash 9 or later. -pip-

It's "/f". Anyways, really nice work, I like it. What did you code it in? Java/Flash/Ajax?

PS. Fixed the sending a blank message issue if you refresh.

Re: SS Web Chat
I think this messed up my character Zocon. I can no longer log on to him after using the web chat with him. Though I can still login on the web chat using him.
*After logging into the Chat Client on him, then on the test server I was able to again login on him on live server. So problem fixed for now.

Re: SS Web Chat
Very nice! One question tho' .. Does it need same port open as SS client does?
Reason for this question is that i can't make it work on some comps that i have on my disposal.

Re: SS Web Chat
Heh I guess it's a little strange for devs to be complementing each other but, nicely done.

Re: SS Web Chat
It looks great, but I think I prefer the downloadable chat client for now. =p
Customization ftw!

-Thaj It works pretty much the same way as the SS Client in terms of how it connects and send messages, so yes, it needs the port open.
