News concerning the Chat 2007-10-23 03:07:53

Hello everybody!

A new version of the chat was installed today. That version has a minor change concerning the chat-output:

In the old version, the size of the font used in the output window could be changed by clicking the two arrows at the side of the "Font".
In the new version, clicking on "Font" results in the display of a window for choosing a font. The dialog allows the selection of a specific font as well as a font size to be used in the messaging window.  The new font is applied once the window is closed by clicking the close button in the frame of the window (usually the "X" in the top-right corner).
This change was implemented to allow users to select a font of their liking to increase the readability of the chat. I need this on my new computer, for example.
The font is solely used for the display of the messages on the current machine; it is not sent to other users.

There is a small delay between clicking "Font" and the appearance of the font-selection window. This happens because all the fonts installed on the computer need to be analysed before the window is displayed. The more fonts are installed on the machine, the longer the delay.

We hope this new version of the chat will increase the usability of the chat for everyone.

The functionality of the "Fonts" button was expanded today.
In addition to the font and the font-size, all colors of the chat can be changed by the user to his/her preference now. These preferences are saved by the chat for future session.
The preferences are saved for each server separately. That way, a user may decide to have a separate font for each server.

Please post problems with the new chat into the support forum.

The chat has two new features for premiumaccount-holders.

1) "Ignore". Simply enter one name per line. The message from these users are not being displayed in the chat any longer. Administrators can't be ignored, sorry The message-filter is applied for new arriving messages only; already displayed messages are not filtered. However, older messages can be filtered by reloading the chat (F5). Give it a try!
Ignored users are saved. so don't forget that you blocked the messages from a user

2) The checkmark in the "Ally"-box is now remembered by the chat upon reload. So if you start the chat again or open a new windows with the chat, you remain in the ally-channel. This setting is also saved. Best give it a try as well!

Both functions are applied for each server in separate. So messages from a user ignored on S1 are still shown on S2, until that user is ignored there as well.

Please give it a try and report problems in the support-forum.

Dear players,

the chat now has a translate button at the end of each message, the small blue t. Clicking there will bring up a new window with google translate and the text of the message. The are to click is a little to the left of the blue t - the cursor changes to a small hand over it.

Please report problems with the chat in the support forum.

You will have to close the browser completely and re-login to Lands and Lords to see the new chat.

Dear gamers,

the two lower tabs (below the "PM" have been removed. To our knowledge, these tabs were not used and useless.

We also have two new premium smileys:

Dear gamers,

for some time now, it was not possible to use CTRL-C/CTRL-C to copy/paste text from/to the chat. This was due to an update in Java that prevented this function for regular applets.

Therefore, we noe have a signed applet for the chat. With the signatur, users will be asked to aprove the applet before starting it. If the user agrees, the applet will be started and copy/paste works again.

What does the signature do? By approving a signature, you tell Java that you trust the applet and the applet's providers. Now the applet can do, what every "regular" program on the computer can do - copy/paste, but also create files or even delete them. Our applet only used the copy/paste function; nothing else will happen on the computer.

To use the signed applet, please activate it in the settings. When you restart the chat (best press F5 to refresh the window) you will be asked to approve the signed chat. Here, you can also control the signature. It should have the following security values:

Dear users,

we will soon roll out a new chat. The big change to the current chat is the use of new technologies that do not need Java.

The new chat will have the same functions as the current chat. In addition, copy / paste of text in the chat are possible again.

In the next days, we will start a test run of the chat on all servers. Unfortunately it is not possible to run the current chat and the new chat concurrently. This first test will demonstrate us, how the chat runs with many users at once. Probably we will also see some bugs; please inform us about all bugs you encounter.

Thank you,
Sven
