Trainz Chat is pretty much useless

[HiBaller]

Tried the chat today. Unless there is some way to turn off the "is here" and "isn't here" scrolling, any conversation is impossible to carry on as all the "on" and "off" takes up 99.9% of the space. Did I miss something in the menu somewhere that turns this off?

Disabling <kuid:30501:1003> iTrainz Chat Interface gets rid of the chat completely, waste of space IMO.

Thanks, Malc. I totally agree. Wouldn't be all that bad if all the bookkeeping functions weren't always yammering away.

iTrainz chat is just a place for spammers and kids to...well...spam. It gets annoying after a while and even using without spammers is annoying. I hope we can get a better system soon.

 

[HiBaller]

I just disabled the iTrainz Chat as Malc suggested. Much cleaner on top bar now.

Me too. Thanks for the tip, Malc!

Thank you for that tip Malc.

maybe I should write a version without the login/logout spam ;-)
not useful the way it is now

 

[SRKing783]

Thank you very much, Malc. And yes, I do find that it is very useless and a bit annoying. So thanks for informing me on disabling it.

 

[JCitron]

Thank you for that, indeed!

Now there's one less thing pinging my network while I'm Trainzing.

 

[Ighten]

How do you disable it, I dont get that option when I right click in my Content Manager - ah found it under content - thx for the tip to disable

That would go a long way toward me enabling it again.

What happened? I disabled <kuid:30501:1003> per Malc's advice in post # 2, and now I have a whole bunch of assets coming up faulty with this error:
; <kuid2:830162:8294051:1> : Validating <kuid2:830162:8294051:1>

Why in the world would assets like Locomotives and freight cars need a chat asset? I open for edit and it appears to be a script named wagen.gs. However wagen.gs just says to include "cjscripts.gs", and I can't find that. But apparently in this unfindable script itis referencing the chat asset? Dunno, but the only way to fix is to delete the reference to wagen.gs in config.txt or re-enable the chat asset. Why in the world?

The same has happened to me, nearly all of the German modern image locos showed as faulty.
I think it might have something to do with multiplayer, but not certain.
I'll make enquiries about it on Trainz.de.

Cheers,
Graham

Think I made a subtle change, so all join and leave messages are gone

here is a test version
kuid original is 30501 1003
made it kuid2 30501 1003 1
if you don't like it just delete the kuid 2 one and you have the original back
cya in the chat

 

[DARTrider]

It shows up as faulty with 19 errors, not even going to try and fix it :hehe:

 

[G.M.]

Yeah Dart all these itrainz scripts are full of errors sadly

Even tried a smaller browser style, less intrusive

is this still TRS19 GM? it sure is !

cjscripts.gs is in <kuid2:404575:1870103001:17> |CJ| German train script library

include "Library.gs"
include "Locomotive.gs"
include "Vehicle.gs"
include "multiplayergame.gs"  // required for disabeling certain functionality in multiplayer mode!
include "multiplayerrule.gs"
include "drivercharacter.gs" // required to check for location of active driver on the train
include "interface.gs" // debug purposes

include "kupplungen.gs"
include "rb_zg2_taillight.gs"
include "viewdetails.gs"

include "CjVehicle.gs"

include "CjPantographs.gs"

Thanks Malc, so no direct tie to the disabled chat asset, unless it is in one of the sub sub scripts. I guess I am just going to have to re-enable the chat. It escapes me why any of these assets would need the chat.

Very nice


Honestly though, with extremely well made apps like Discord around. Simple text typing in this day and age is just so, OLDE, LOL
