Friend list #1736

Closed TheImmortal closed 3 years ago

TheImmortal commented 9 years ago

Self-explanatory. An old implementation can be viewed at #607 and Zarel/Pokemon-Showdown-Client#126.

Current plan is to do this server-side with SQLite.

Zarel commented 8 years ago

2762 was closed, but the idea of being able to follow a friend and see battles from their perspective is interesting and should be noted here.

Is the client label on this still true?

Zarel commented 7 years ago

There's obviously going to be a client component.

marzdude9 commented 7 years ago

So has this been implemented yet?

Zarel commented 7 years ago

no, still in progress

alchzh commented 7 years ago

Wouldn't it make more sense for this to be implemented with the auth server? Registered nicks exist across servers, after all.

Zarel commented 7 years ago

The problem is that it's not currently possible to PM people across servers, and the login server doesn't know whether or not you're online. In general, doing it in the sim server means there's a lot less lag because you don't need multiple servers to coordinate with each other.
