interesting

[ExeterDad]

Really? I have to check this out!

[mahmutelmas06]

Why we didnt have this feature before :D

+1 love it

[firefox]

wooooot =(0.0)=

how long are the bubbles visible?
what is the maximum text to fit inside?
can the bubbles change size depending on the amount of text?

[D00Med]

Nice!

[IKRadulov]

@firefox By the look of the code the bubble extends based on the text that is written and it stays 5 secs

[AccidentallyRhine]

Does this disable normal chat or run along side of it?

[IKRadulov]

To get less work for the developer . @AnxiousInfusion No ! :D

[Desour]

@IKRadulov: no to disable normal chat or to run along side of it?

[octacian]

Awesome! Now, question: can the default chat be disabled? On second thought, yes it can >_<

Just return true (or maybe it's false, I forgot) inside register_on_chat_message.

Second question: Is there any chance that you will change the license from WTFPL to something like MIT, or GPL? I really like what you've done here, but I personally won't use mods licensed under WTFPL. Much less fork them and make my own version, which is what I'd like to do here.

Does it work on OTHER multiplayer servers?

I am not sure where you are coming from here. When I use wtfpl it's allowed to be copied, modified, and redistributed under a different license and change it infinitely from the original version without you having to tell me what you did. You can do whatever you'd like with it, and it's the closest thing I can do next to public domain.

Thanks for this!

Yep, IK that now. Wuzzy and I recently had quite the discussion about that... It was, interesting. But hey, now I know.

You're welcome! Maybe one day I will repair it to allow giant paragraphs, but for now I am preoccupied

[AccidentallyRhine]

This should require shout privilege.

[Chem871]

How did I miss this?? I'm downloading now!

[sorcerykid]

I was just wondering the same thing. This is so cool, why am I just finding it now? I'm very tempted to install this on my server. I have to wonder if this will make conversations easier, at least within close proximity to other players.

EDIT: I just discovered that chat bubbles make use of texture mapping onto entities, rather than actual text rendered by the client. So I imagine there might be some performance penalties to this implementation :-/

[pampogokiraly]

This mod looks cool. But it doasent works with the latest version of minetest :(
The bubble appears inside the player |: /
(I have turned off all mod to test it)

EDIT: Fixed it myself. Here is how you can fix it for yourself:
Line 6, before:

Code: Select all

		text:set_attach(minetest.get_player_by_name(name), "", {x=0,y=15,z=0},{x=0,y=0,z=0})

Line 6, after:

Code: Select all

		text:set_attach(minetest.get_player_by_name(name), "", {x=0,y=22,z=0},{x=0,y=0,z=0})
