#pinging

Legit NO IDEA what to call this but I wanted to share more stuff, here's a lot of videos of dev stuff I've been cooking for this mod, first of all... the chat in action!

Completely LOCAL functionality!

Every emote and sticker used gets printed in the chat, and even the system will figure out if it was directly meant for you and of course, for them too!

In this test, I was the only who had this mod in the lobby, so functionality wise its more like a QoL in thsi case, but I want to add more features to it, of course this video is super old (2 months ago) but not a lot has changed for this one in case anyone wondering.

(Apparently I cannot upload more than one vid, rip)

Many pingables and even mod support for the mod!

I've been working for the last few months to implement some modding features, allowing people to directly alternate this mod through two cases, inserting references for script names YOU made and adding the localization for those references to be used, causing the mod to print the right message!

Speaking of localization, this mod should be translatable, allowing it to be user friendly for people who have language barriers, while keeping or/and alternate the formatting.

As an example here's the localization file containing references that are used in this mod:

This system allows it to be very easy to implement, I'll explain further in a seperate guide, but to make it short, no coding, and the stuff that requires coding, is at best, a few lines!!!!

And that way it was made also allows you to support all the languages (even more btw, there's ways to mod more language packages), making the mod able to be used by people with language barriers.

Conclusion

If you weren't aware, 3 years ago, a mod like this was released, with the same idea of online communication, sadly, the mod was removed because the moderation in it was impossible, and showed that we have some interesting people in our community that are downright bad apples, some of those were exposed for terrible behavior to theft.

This is my attempt in returning this mod, completely moderated under YOU, with YOU knowing fully what is happening, with YOU interacting through cute and wholesome emotes, and pinging point of interests for others to see.

This is the Online Chat Project, also known as Online Communication and SSPingSystem in the source code because I am bad with names.

Thank you all if you read through all of this, I'm still getting the grasp of Tumblr, but I am ENJOYING the amount of possibilities you can do, I think I will getting to like this a lot.

Anyways, I'll see you all around, or when I post more of my content!
