Have any of you guys known about this? It's pretty cool, it is the same people who made the .hack//Chat. Basicly you use avatars that are actually moving like regular sprites and you run around towns and such talking to people. It's basicly just a chat room but with cooler stuff ^-^ and you can MAKE your own avatars as well....but spritinig takes a while lol...I've done it and its haaaaard.

Hmm ok then, here you go. http://metagate.va-sa-ra.co.jp/mgc/userlist.php Oh yea and to use these you must have the MGX plug in for IE. The way you get it is that when you open one of these chats it'll have one of those weird icons that have 3 different colored shapes in them meaning it cant read the picture. You wait a little bit and an Active X pop up shows there in your IE window and asks you to install the plug in, right click and click install. Thats basicly all ya have to do. Oh! And NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE WINDOWS XP TO USE TO FULL POTENTIAL!!!

Another thing, to use different types of sprite avatars go here http://sonic-club.com/~hack/mirror/

So has anyone really looked at this? Is it that bad? Seriously though, I know it has to be used by inconvenient ways but its an awesome chat! Come on, try these out, they really are fun when you think about it. I am making MegaMan Battle Network chats like this. I've already made ACDC town at day and at night. I need to fix the night time one but I'm working on Netopia area.

I already gave you my comments elsewhere, but to repeat, I believe this is worth something. Check it out, people, maybe it's your thing: a visual chatroom!

Doc should replace our current chat with this. >_>


If you have to make your sprites, I'll go look up some magazine scans for close-ups of TWEWY and begin spriting, lol

Great news on the next MGX Visual chat guys, Im finishing up the black and white frame of Netopia ^-^, after I finish that part I need to edit that black and white frame a little bit and name it something else. You see, the first frame I put in is the whole picture of the net ok? The second frame I have to put in is show where you CAN and cannot walk around in, the third frame is to show what parts of the buildings you can walk behind and such. I think I can add animation to the town in certain areas too O.o if I try hard enough at least. The last bit of information that needs to be put in is the music and I have a bunch of music tracks transferred to the proper file format .OGG *thumbs up* yes I have the Netopia track as well. Let me know some time if you do not want the music thats on there and I'll change it, lol...but dont ask often ok? XD I can change every month I guess if asked. I cant wait till the Netopia room is finished!

Oi everyone, I know it's only been a week since I last posted, please don't count this as spam. But I've been wanting to announce this without editing a previous post, I hope you're ok with that *crosses fingers* (please be ok) Anyways straight to the point, I edited the pages to the MegaMan Battle Network Visual chat. Now it has a background and a frame around the the chat window. Also there are buttons I've put on there for fast linking on avatars you can use, also theres a direct link to the other room which is night time on the same page. This will be added to ever chat from now on. I'll be sure to add the buttons that link directly to different rooms on each room page.

I've an idea that I've been thinking about for quite some time, but haven't really had the chance to try it out. What do you guys think about me adding some little animations on the chat? Bad idea? Good idea? Whatcha think about it? If you don't want animations in the chat I won't waste my time XD.

What kinda animations are you talking about here? Is it things like blinking lights on a house's windows, moving cars, or something else? It's difficult to give you an answer without knowing what you're talking about exactly. :)

Well I've had time to think about it a while...I dont think my idea will work but I'll try it out anyways.

The animations I'm talking about is basically for background graphics. Such as billboards that move, or maybe weird neon signs that move frame by frame constantly. Stuff like that, its kinda simple really.

Strolling through the older ACDC town layout really makes me wish that Capcom didn't screw it up by reordering the buildinds and removing several of them from Battle Network 4 onward...

I like how you're able to walk behind some scenery objects in the ACDC Town Night room. However, it's a bit odd how we can walk completely through some objects we shouldn't be able to, such as the waterpool in the park, and through the houses' walls. The Day version avoids this by completely blocking access to the various objects. Would it be possible somehow to combine the two modes to allow a bit of walk behind the objects, yet not make it look as it we walked right THROUGH them? The end result could be pretty impressive!

While walking around, I've found two minor problems:

- The link to go to the ACDC Town Night chat, coming from the Regular Net Chat, happens to be point to the wrong page.
- In the Regular Net Chat, I was able to walk off screen through the top of the area. It was kinda funny. :)

Still, that system is pretty fun. I'm surprised that visual chats like this aren't more popular among Internet users. Maybe it's more of a Japanese thing.

Hm well, I've been trying to work out the bug behind that Dr. x.x it's annoying I tells ya. I have to shade certain parts of the map in order for it to work, but for some reason night time kyat reverts back to its buggy state. Maybe Im not loading it correctly, and thanks for telling me about the error on the button thing, I'll fix that asap.

Hey everyone, I found a neat room to chat in, it has multiple areas to it too! So I copied the Javascript code onto my website and hosted it in a bigger window than it was before when I found it. Its being tested in popularity, so if you guys end up using it often enough I'll connect it to the other chats by linking buttons like I did to the others. Until then it'll remain a page to its self. Here's the link http://nebula-syndicateco.piczo.com/testing?cr=7&linkvar=000044
