Slime Chat 3.2.4

[Zaytri]

Hi, I wanted to know if FFZ support could get added? I love how slimechat looks but would enjoy that extra addition

it does work, it just doesn't show FFZ global emotes

First of all, i really love slime chat. It's such a great thing to have!
I updated to 3.2.3 and imported my old settings, the only thing is that it no longer displays the font i used before from my own files. Might just be a mistake on my part but i thought i'd mention it before i try again in the morning.

hmm
did the rest of the settings get transferred without issue?

yes, they have. i can also still not set a font that isn't in the drop down list. i did try a different one as well just to check and it didn't change.

just had a thought and checked what it looked like in obs and it shows my font and all other settings (should have done that yesterday sorry.) i refreshed the source as well and it looks like i want it to. so it's just in the settings window were it doesn't show, sorry!

Cool, also what about 7TV? I've seen it getting a lot of use lately

I do not support 7TV

Hey all, I saw that in the villager chat theme, there was support for FFZ & BTTV, and I was wondering how you'd go about implementing that in a theme of your own. This may not be the right catagory for a question like this, but I hope i'll get some tips :)

I've been testing out using this for my streams & there's just two things I'd like to see added to this if possible;
1. Setting chat direction
I'd like to have the option for the chat to go Down to Up(having older messages go from the bottom up) as opposed to how it currently is,
Up to Down(having older messages go from the top down)
2. Outline size for Outline 2
I believe the outline is a bit too small & I'd like to have the option to increase the size/thickness of the outline
Other than that, great job on this!

1. Widget Settings > Display > Corner
2. Outline is done via very hacky CSS since actual text outline is not yet supported in the version of Chromium that OBS ships with for its browser source. Making an outline greater than 2px and having it look good isn't really possible via CSS. However, via post processing, you can achieve an outline effect via shaders. Someone did that here: https://forums.slime2.stream/threads/widget-setup.5/#post-199

1. OH, that's what the corner setting is for , was wondering what that was
2. Alrighty, will have a look at that
Thanks & again, great job on this project

I am wondering if there is a way to have a max number of characters displayed for the usernames? like just the first 4 characters and then ...

so I would appear in chat as "Caff...:" and it would take up less space. I think I checked through all the setting, but might have missed that.

huh never heard of that kind of request before
is that a feature in other chat boxes?

 

[CaffeinatedSpacebuns]

it must be because I see it from time to time. I just don't know how to even go about setting that up. but it makes the chat look a little more simple to read, especially when it is in a box like this.

 

[CaffeinatedSpacebuns]

where as this is what mine is looking like as I test it because my username is super long. is there a setting I could alter that would make this better? thanks!

oh i see that's because that chat box limits the pixel width of names and uses a CSS rule to truncate to that width, while also keeping the username/badges and message in completely separate boxes

can't really do that here since it's all inline, at least not with just CSS
your username going onto a different line is a bug tho

Hi Zaytri! Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am having an issue with Slime Chat where the tools tab in the html file that should be opened to customise the chat displays nothing inside of it.

I am on a Linux Mint system right now and do not know if it is because of that.
Using it in OBS is fine, it works as expected but I would like to customize it a bit yet can't..

thank you in advance!

hmm that would only happen if it somehow doesn't have access to the other files in the folder
are you sure you're opening the HTML file in the extracted folder or within the original ZIP itself?

Are there plans for old/existing messages to animate when new messages animate in? When using this as a scrolling/ticker bar it's a bit jarring to see old messages suddenly jump, in juxtaposition to new messages sliding in smoothly
