ledgeri [HUN] Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Suggestion Name: Servertime to the ChatSuggestion Description: Added actual servertime (GMT or other, but fixed) time to every chat-post to better tracking who when what wrote, when happened an accident, or in Admin-Banned relation prooving help in videos, and potentially on pictures, etc Any example images: Nope.Why should it be added?: That would be helpful if everyone would be able to track down the time in-game globally for some, usefull reason. Maybe later, at higher client version, when the Ban system is more mature and not just live. 1 /@ twitch ( Where i am streaming my every MULTI MOMENT!)

Crazyforiphone Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If timestamps were implemented I would perfer it to pull the time from your computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dragon Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If timestamps were implemented I would perfer it to pull the time from your computer Problem with that is that it would make identification of times a much more difficult task in case knowing the time something was done or said was necessary. We all have different times so use the computer's clock to identify the time would be messy. I support the idea of server-side time stamps in the chat. 1 Some people should really get a license before even thinking about buying Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator.

SuppenWaffel Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I can see your point, but having a timestamp on chat with a time i cant do anything with than look how much space it needs, is kinda more annoying than usefull i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix. Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I would prefer local machine time instead of servertime. - I'm not saying I'm Wonder Woman; I'm just saying no one has ever seen me and Wonder Woman in the same room together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledgeri [HUN] Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I would prefer local machine time instead of servertime. Ok but, if you ask "are you was at rotterdam 18:32?" i can answer easily if both of us know "the" well known time ...

Crazyforiphone Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Ok but, if you ask "are you was at rotterdam 18:32?" you can answer easily if both of you know "the" well known time ... it is hard in game time sometimes because it would have to say the day. If it was in local machine time or even GMT time(for your example it would be better) but in local time it would be relevent to the minutes. In GMT time everyone has the same day and time that goes alot slower than in game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In GMT time everyone has the same day and time that goes alot slower than in game time. I dont want to manipulate the ingame time.... I just want a Globally well known time mark... The local time is not good for it, because for example i don't know your timezone, so if you publish a picture with a time code on it, i don't know when happened on the actual day, but if that is the GMT or CET or something appointed i will know when that made... /@ twitch ( Where i am streaming my every MULTI MOMENT!)

zyprexia Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Maybe it's possible to only register the time in the actual log, but keep the chat window unchanged (e.g. no timestamp visible) 510 Horses and one lucky bird at work Simulators: Prepar3d V4, X-Plane 11, DCS 1.5 + 2.x, ETS2, ATS, Farming Simulator 17, Omsi 1 + 2 System: Intel i7-6700K @ 4700Mhz, 32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX, GTX970, HP LP2475w monitor (1920x1200) Devices: Logitech G27, SKRS Shifter, CH Products Throttle Quadrant, Trustmaster Hotas Joystick, TrackIR Storage: 2 x SM961 - 250GB (raid 0), Samsung 850 pro 1TB disk, Samsung 850 EVO 2TB disk.

Buggy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Having chat timestamps in a foreign timezone seems confusing, better have local time there if any. +1 for displaying the official server date and time somewhere on the screen at all times -- that is sufficient for international coordination and video recordings.

DrToxic Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 How about options for time stamps to keep the masses happy? I quite like the idea of seeing something like the following: [localtime] [+/-player timezone] [playername] [message] [10:01:01am] [+0 GMT] DrToxic: Hi![10:01:08am] [+4 GMT] PlayerOne: Hey there [Ad for something] That way, no matter where you are in the world, you can see exactly what was said and when if the chat is visible in a screenshot.

ledgeri [HUN] Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Also from "http://ets2c.comcompatibility" view if the language "doesn't matter" it could be good too. /@ twitch ( Where i am streaming my every MULTI MOMENT!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learvlieg Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 just have the client log an extra file for chat logs including timestamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledgeri [HUN] Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 just have the client log an extra file for chat logs including timestamps. This is a solution too, but because this is not onscreen hard to mach as evidence. But now i realized, there is a "mostly up" HUD element in the top left corner, what shows witch version is running from the client, like the server-marker on top right, or the "steam Offline". That could be good on the login screen as an extra pipe: Show time ingame: Local, server, none(both empty) with different color to each active option to prevent cheating on this way. Also wondered why the devs did not reacted to this topic yet. /@ twitch ( Where i am streaming my every MULTI MOMENT!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFS_TV Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Arn't there already time-stamps on the Chat logs? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm farily certain there are.
