My argument is that emsgtoggle keeps its state across reboots, the chat "tenancy" doesn't, which i think is inconsistent.

In other words: if i have incoming DMs disabled via /friends:emsgtoggle they will still be disabled after the server restart. If i am in /local or /quiet mode when the reboot happens, i'll be rejoined to /global chat.

 

Support!!! This makes it very difficult to do things like testing crop hopper profits on my alt. I leave it in /local so I can isolate tax notifications and I come back to global chat again.

 

Don't rly see a point, it's not a big deal to type one command after rejoining

 

I'm going with neutral because I think it could be a good idea, it makes sense for people who want to stay in the chat mode they selected.

However I vote neutral because sometimes a player can accidentally toggle local mode, or turn of messages etc without realising it, or maybe they forgot to turn it back on again.
If they forget about why noone messages them, it could be confusing to remember to have to turn it active again. What if it went under /preferences, instead of it being serverwide specific

 

Yeah I was neutral because it just seems like work that would use up devs time for no point, typing one command after rejoining is not a big deal lol

 

Say, for example, I want to put my account into /local for a day to isolate just my crophopper earnings. But, I also have to go to work. In this scenario, because the server reboots while I'm at work, I literally cannot isolate my crop hopper earnings, because when the server reboots I get kicked back to /global. My option is to either fight through a whole day's chat to find the tax reports, or I can set up a repeating macro to put me into /local. Then I've got a whole day's worth of the "you are now in /local" message, which is 6 lines long on my screen every time it hits.

Quite frankly, both these options suck. If I chose to enter /local mode, I'd like it to stay that way until I turn it off.

 

How would you rejoin if you are at work

 

Auto reconnect mods

 

Sky is correct, most regular players on Economy have some variety of automatic reconnection mod.

 

If you can reconnect using mods, then you can also go back to local modes using joining repeating joining commands.

When I reconnect after server restart or if I get disconnected, I use meteor and command macross mod to join eco and then auto join my mapart isle. Its not hard to do nor is it annoying.

 

Yes I can read too sky.. my point is that if you use auto reconnect mods, then you can also set up a command to go to /local. They can work together.

I'm talking about a hotkey command that only works when joining the server. Not one that is pinged every 20 mins. If you get disconnected and can reconnect automatically then you can also set a command to go local when joining the server.


Example: whenever I get disconnected, auto reconnect logs me back on and my joining commandmacros sends me to my mapart island. Its not hard to learn how to do.

Edit: added an example of how to do this easily without mods;



This app is known as Chatcraft, and it allows without mods you to log onto the server and afk, and it allows for joining commands such as / economy and /local or whatever you set it to. Very simple and free to use.
