Yell system really bad

[Kryptonite]

...people will still abuse the yell...

That was kinda my entire point.
Doesn't matter what you do, it will still be there.
Normally I'd say that I'm not against the idea of the 10 second flood prevention thingy...
But I kinda am, if only for the fact that the chat box isn't very large and when I use yell I often have to break up my yells into multiple lines.
They can range from one to five lines, depending on what I'm buying/selling/announcing.
And some of my announcements are pretty important, at least for the newer players.
Having to wait ten seconds to send another line (not to mention trying to send another one too soon and having to retype it all again) would really tick me off after awhile.

IMO. I'd rather put up with the mild yell abuse than have to go through that. lol

I agree, but why not doing this just to the normal players, for players who have more than 1 playerRight will be able to yell
for example
if(command.startsWith("Yell") && command.substring(4)){
Yellcode()
YellTimer = 10;
} else if(playerRights >= 1){
Yell code()
}

Thats it i think .

Wtf?

I don't think the substring thing goes there.

Here's my shot at it.

if(command.startsWith("yell")){
String yelltext = command.substring(4);
if (YellTimer == 0) {
messagetoall(""+ username + ": "+ yelltext +"");
YellTimer = 10;
}
else {
sendMessage("You need to wait " + YellTimer +" seconds before yelling again.");
}
}


I realize it's not quite right because the voids aren't named the same as blitz, but whatever.

[cody the coder]

Yeah, yours looks copy & pasted though, i did mine quick, too lazy to look in my source for the codes :P
And Blitz to my looks doesn't look like downloaded source that has the same system of codes though it looks like a server started from scratch, no downloads and thats VERY Impressive, Thats like they created runescape all over again (old version)

[Kryptonite]

Not copied I came up with it as I posted. I don't know where I would've copied it from :\

It isn't that hard to create a yell code like you did, so i believe you but i made mine as simple as possible i dont think there source is compatable with any of the codes, because they started it from scratch as i can see. everything is just coded by there bare hands.

[Sad Panda]

Stop.. I don't want people to fight... Unless I'm involved anyway.

[cody the coder]

Stop.. I don't want people to fight... Unless I'm involved anyway.

Hehe, were not fighting lol.

[DISS]

but the entire thing of what cody is doing, is giving us a totally different java code.

Ryan can't just take that and put in the source, there really isn't a source.
It's a secret ryan keeps from all of us but he may leak it, MySQL.

so its not all if blah blah blah

[Kryptonite]

Stop.. I don't want people to fight... Unless I'm involved anyway.

We're not fighting. We're simply talking in a weird nerd language.

[Flame]

or we could just go back to letting people talk about whatever they want in ::yell ...

[Dug]

IMO People who abuse yell just don't want to follow the rules or they get carried away..
Nothing but having the well known community remind other players about not abusing the yell will change Jazmin's fact.

[Kryptonite]

I seriously agree..

I seriously agree..

I agree as well. Saying that it's taking up your chat box is stupid. When people are just talking while you're in range does the exact same thing.

That is not how Blitz works.

Here is the class for the yell command in Blitz, just to give you some perspective.

Ryan's version seems considerably easier.
