[Suggestion] GUI interface for Past Names by alebowgm on 11-15-2004 at 09:58 PM

Here is one I dont think anyone has thought of.

If you look at your logs, Plus has the ability to keep changes of user names, etc. However, I think it would be cool if there was a GUI version of this feature, so it showed what the past user names for the person is, how long they had it as their username, etc. Just stats on that.

I like looking at everyones unique names... lol...

This would be an excellent idea for Plus. I would like to see in plus! but maybe someone could make it into a plug-in....  (Y):).

What do we need to do, to get Patchou to do this?

hey, to be honest, i have actually thought of that, sorta! :p

i have been learning visual c++ .net, just got the compiler, and attempting to learn to actually program visual programs, only knew command line! anyways, i have been ccreating a log reader with different random features, and i LOVE statistics, i was going to show all your own usernames from the logs in order, so you could see alll the changes your name has gone through (Y) i am no where near completion though, and this is different then i thought of! but it is really really good none the less!

it would be really cool if someone could do this! who knows, ill have a try at something myself, but last time i attempted to make a plugin it failed horribly :p


RE: [Suggestion] GUI interface for Past Names by Patchou on 11-16-2004 at 02:35 AM

This kind of statistic couldeasily be done in a plugin... any volunteer? :)


RE: [Suggestion] GUI interface for Past Names by Guido on 11-16-2004 at 04:09 AM

Certainly a great idea (Y)

Well I was hinting to puting it in my/Anubis's Plug-in in March if people want it we will try to get it in for the first version but if we don't it will be released in april as we ae doing a 2nd version straight after (look in my blog for future updates about the plug-in.)

If you base it upon your logs, you will have some difficulties as nicknames aren't completely saved in the logs by default. Look up the threads about Lopardo's Log Viewer and you'll see how difficult it is to make something accurate if you base it upon the logs....

i know the difficulty involved, it wouldnt be that hard really if peoples settings were right.. i have been toying with an idea of making a couple of programs all with the sole task of PERFECTLY loging chats, and viewing them, and by perfect, i mean dp's and custo emoticons too (Y)


RE: [Suggestion] GUI interface for Past Names by alebowgm on 11-19-2004 at 04:05 AM

Well, there is already an event viewer. I am just talking about personalizing it to show when they change their nicknames, etc...
