Private Messaging / Tell [communication] #62

Closed ghost closed 10 years ago

An essential part of our chat system. The ability to tell or whisper someone messages.

This could be tied into smartphones in our world as text messages.

I proposed something similar using smartwatches (reasons for this over smartphones explained in the repo) in a mess-around repo on my account. @Blecki countered with an interesting point about using a smartwatch to chat on an 'OOC' channel and how that doesn't make a lot of sense, which I agree with. Would it be acceptable to make some channels, like a shout-like channel or pm's, available via our chosen device, and have the others outside of this device? So 'say' and 'OOC' would be the familiar commands we seen in almost every MUD, since neither has a reason to be tied into a game device.

Here's the repo if you want to see: https://github.com/piggybankcowboy/RMUD-Creative.git

Keep in mind that's just me messing around with ideas since I don't have any code to keep me busy, haha.

I think for this we just need to assume everyone has their virtual smart phone all the time. Since this is a way for players to coordinate. Anyway, I'm working on whisper/tell next.
