LFS Friends

[aroX123]

I have been woundering..
If you where on a server and u want some of your friends to come on that server, then you must go to msn, skype or other. (That take longer time.
Why not have like a little box.
You push a button
And then a box come up.. there can you add/delete friends
and you can speak to them there and invite them on a server.

I think this is a good idea and i think it's usefull. (Good for teams)
Maybe other dont think the same.

Friends can search for you by username in LFS.
Otherwise it's just like MSN, and why bother duplicating something that's already been done?

Waste of time.

What about someone does not have msn and dont know how to invite some of his friends.

[Bose321]

Then he'll use an other program or he'll ask how to use msn

I was acutally considering writing a program to do something like this within lfs via insim. Seemed to be hard but possible. Second thing would be where to run it from..... :shrug:

Maybe ill think some more but as tristan says basically not much need for it

If I use insim.. and the other friend does not have it.. it to much to do..
Much easyer with just push a button in the game and choose who you want to talk with who is ON

is it really that necessary for lfs to become an racing-instant-messenger?

I really want it:shy:

No it isn't.... I don't wanna see a chat system in LFS. We already have meeting room, and Username search. Plus you can use TS or Ventrilo..

[tristancliffe]

Then they won't know or understand what instant messaging is, in which case they'll prefer emails or PMs. Or they use a different IM client.

[aroX123]

We already have meeting room
ooOOoo, many there.

and Username search.
What if he isnt online? Much better to see
Oh, he is online i push a button and i join.

emails or PMs. Or they use a different IM client.
So, you go out from lfs, start internet page and go write messenge.
and send.. and he is not going to answer for a while.

[Töki (HUN)]

... he is not going to answer for a while.

Then he's not a real friend:D

[tristancliffe]

If he isn't online you can't join him. Email/PM/IM him.
If he is online then join him via search.
If you don't know you could always check on MSN, or use LFSWorld and LFSJoin.

[aroX123]

Then he's not a real friend:D
lol

If he isn't online you can't join him. Email/PM/IM him.
That take much longer time to PM, and maybe he doesn't reply at once, maybe 30 min or some (maybe he is not on the Hotmail thing)
If he is online then join him via search.
You spend much more time with that, i tryed to join via that, does not work.

If you don't know you could always check on MSN, or use LFSWorld and LFSJoin.
Same as above

[Töki (HUN)]

You weren't able to join, or you didn't want to?:D BTW I don't think that the devs would spend any time for this (100%) We have options, well not _that_ fast but we have

[aroX123]

I wanted to but it just come up an internet page, and it says:
Error: and then the servername

BTW I don't think that the devs would spend any time for this (100%) We have options, well not _that_ fast but we have
I agree that

I just tougth we could have allmost as same as steam.
U can see all your friends online, ingame(in a server) or offline

[blackbird04217]

Typing your friends username in the "Search For User" doesn't take time, and its very easy to do. If your talking about a friend list and search for that friend it could be made with an application using InSim, and your friend would not need to run it.

However if your talking about actually making a chat program, its not worth it. I already started working on that and to chat privately in LFS it would be a waste of time. Go to an empty server if your friend doesn't have a different form of Instant Messenger. Otherwise use Ventrilo, TeamSpeak or other software. IMO this is a racing simulator not a chat room - of course it is nice to talk with friends you meet so you can exchange ideas and thoughts about racing, but why does it need to be in private?

[aroX123]

IMO this is a racing simulator
Invite them to a race.. :tilt:

[Töki (HUN)]

Rofl, you have always something to say.

[aroX123]

Rofl, you have always something to say.
Yes, What about that?
I really want it:D

[Töki (HUN)]

Yes, What about that?
I really want it:D

Then I'm afraid that you'll have to do it yourself :D Do you really expect the Devs to do it?

[aroX123]

Yes:D

[Dajmin]

I still think this is a good idea.

It's already been added to LFSWorld, all it needs is this to transfer to the client.
You don't see other professional games saying you should use a 3rd-party program :)

[aroX123]

Did you guys like the idea or not?

[frokki]

I can stand if you make a crap(ish) suggestion topic once a week, but bumping them several times per day for no reason is ridiculous if you ask me :shrug:

[aroX123]

I can stand if you make a crap(ish) suggestion topic once a week
So it means you dont like my suggest?
Okey, thanks for the answer
