What features does Ledu have?

[ipixel]

if someone gets me the interface, ill clean it up.

Theres an emoticon menu showing the list of emoticons and you press alt + 1 - 6 to use the emoticons you specified

I thought that is also client side only

 

[EvilEvil]

it is lol

 

[DeathWish]

yea it probably is... it wud still send something in the chat for example...

it could be anything like "suh74dfh8y" which would be converted into a smilie in the chat...

Why then can people on another client not see what you type cause they dont have support for the emoticons?

Im just curious as to how they done it lol

Well as i understand it basically the ledu client just sends some packet wich the other person who sees it the client converts it to a smiley or something.. its all client side dont think you need to do anything server side to get them working.

Surely theres no client to client talk, client to server to client surely

Meh maybe im wrong Im just curious lol

Well yes, that is how everything is done, but i dont think the server needs any special things to let through some packets or something, its basically the client wich reads and displays the emoticon.

 

[EvilEvil]

Well you might aswell do it like this,
Happy = : )
If u use happy it would send : ) to those without client then convert : ) to in the client

lol milo it is client to server to client

client sends msg
server recieves it and sends it to approriate people around the player he recieved it from
clients recieve msg


i thought that if u used any other client than the ledu 1 you cudnt see any of the chat?

Nope you can use ledu and a normal client together on servers and they work fine

But if someone sends a smiley and the surrounding people are not using the ledu client, they cant see the smileys right? So i think it is client side.

yea but if they send a chat msg through the client then the client would see something like : ) or what ever... but milo is saying it doesnt... so hes not sure how it works :P i cud find out by testing it, but cba :P

They cant see anything which means its not simply converting ': )' in text into the smiley

 

[DeathWish]

btw the sure that the client can see normal chat msgs ? because im sure when i went on 1 they i cudnt see no1 chatting... and there was loads of ppl about :O i could pm people though and recieve them

I think it is, the old client doesnt know what to do with the smileys, the server is simply wich forwards the message to the players who are nearby the sent smiley, it is the client that decodes the message in to a smiley.

 

[MiloFoxburr]

I dont care anymore lol

 

[Babyhack]

Its client side
the smiles in Ledu are loaded up from a .wil
the other clients dont have this .wil

therefore the old client cannot load the smile image

only a person using Ledu can do smiles and only a person using \ledu can see smiles
the other clients dont read the .wil that has the smiles in it

Ledu sends a msg to the server = the server sends that msg back to all clients in the area = Ledu knows what to do with the smile data so if using a Ledu client you will see it = the other clients dont know what to do with this data so they do nothing

BH

 

[DeathWish]

but it would have been easier for the ledu client to just convert : ) to because that involves nothing server side... just the normal chat

 

[NickAKAVexus]

lol, thats what it does. When it receives a message in SM_HEAR it checks to see if its a smilie.. if it is it displays one. Nothing advanced about it. So lets drop this? :P

No normal client can't see smilie because they're not coded in.
