Board Thread:News and Announcements (Admin use only)/@comment-24121492-20150627115625

So, first off, I know this board is for admins only, but Finn gave me permission to make this post, so I can explain Chat Hacks to everyone.

Chat Hacks give you some options you wouldn't normally have. Now, you aren't hacking wikia or anything like that. They're just added features, which, as far as I know, are aproved by Wikia, since I talked with Yatalu thoose past days about how to get it to work, since I forgott, and also, the guy who made the chat hacks (http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Monchoman45) is an admin.

Before you do anything, you should probabily clear your cache. How to do it differs from browser to browser, so just google it for your browser.

What you have to do in order to get thoose chat hacks:

Go in chat, press CTRL SHIFT and J at the same time. A new tab will pop up. There, you will add in this following code:

importScriptPage('User:Monchoman45/ChatHacks.js', 'c');

That code. Like that. Don't change anything. Don't change the name, don't do anything. Just copy it, and paste it in the tab that will be opened when you press CTRL SHIFT and J.

After that, press Enter, and add in this code:

importScriptPage('User:Joeytje50/ChatPMs.js', 'c');

Same. No changing of anything, just copy paste it there. Press Enter, and you can close the tab that was opened by the keyboard combination.

Then in Chat, it will say something like "Chat hacks have been activated", or something like that.

Now it's time for me to actually tell you what those Chat Hacks even do. Theese are the features:

1. When someone types in your full username, you will beeped. There's also, up there, on the right of the logo, " Ping Phrases". If you put your mouse there, you can see your username there. If you type in any other words, you will be beeped when thoose words are typed as well.

2. The AFK button. If you have to go to the bathroom, or to eat, or whatever, but you leave the chat open, you don't have to wait 10 minutes for the chat to put you as AFK. There's a button you can press that will automaticly make you AFK.

3. And the most important thing, Multi-Person PMs. That's right. You won't be limited to only 2 person PMs anymore. You can make 3-Person Pms, or 4 or 5, etc etc. To do that you will have to press the PM button down near the box you're writing stuff in. There you will write the names of the people you want to include in the Group PM, including your username, separating them by a: ,

There's also one other thing. Every time you enter chat, the chat hacks reset and you have to insert them back. BUT, that only happends if you enter chat trough a link or trough the "Chat" button on the wiki headers. If you enter the chat trough the "Join Chat" button at the left of the wikia, and if you enter trough there, chat hacks will automaticly be there.

So that would be it.
