COMPLETED - [BOUNTY] Typing Indicator for Command Bar
I brought this up in the discord #coding-general and sort of got "this is not possible" to "it's expensive and dumb", but I decided to stick it in here anyway because, well, why not.
I am a command-box typer. Started that way, and will be that way forever. I gave the pop-up box the good old college try.
So, yes, "Learn to open the say box" <---- let's skip this because I wouldn't be asking if I didn't have my reasons.
Anyway, people often think I'm ignoring them or not typing at all which is a pain in the butt. I can live with it, but it would be a nice QoL for the command bar chat kids (We exist! We out here!!)
I commented about this last year on Aurora station and they managed to fix the issue for me. I got dat speech bubble using command bar. I have Say " activated at all times, and it didn't give me a bubble until I started typing what I wanted to say. I know Aurora changed over to TGUI some time ago, and the bubble addition was after this switch.
Aurora used the SStyping from Nebula. I have no idea what this is. Here is the PR on the subject. Not sure if it's similar, possible, or applicable, but perhaps better to have some frame of reference... https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora ... 6169/files
If it doesn't work for /tg/, that's fine, but I'd like to know why in a clear way (Is it hard on the server or cause lag? Is it too buggy? Does something just not fundamentally exist to make it work? I am not interested in making gameplay experience worse for something so small.)
If someone thinks its possible and it doesn't cause issues, then I would like to offer $75 for the code, and $25 on top if the PR is successful. If for whatever reason it is more difficult than expected, we can talk about the bounty amount. I don't want people working for too little.
Thank you!!

Re: [BOUNTY] Typing Indicator for Command Bar
this is doable, we just need the verb bar to be tgui'd first

Re: [BOUNTY] Typing Indicator for Command Bar
like goof said, viable
There isn't really any performance implications.
There is a problem if tgui breaks, which is why there needs to be a way to fallback to the built in command bar without having to go through tgui, because then it defeats the purpose of the fallback.

Re: [BOUNTY] Typing Indicator for Command Bar
i dont play anymore but this would be awesome if someone did it, i always preferred using the command bar to chat too. so much in fact that sometimes after long stints of playing ss13 i will type Sa [tab] before a new line in a paper or email or whatever because im so used to doing that to talk.

Re: [BOUNTY] Typing Indicator for Command Bar
there's no viable way to achieve this in a way that will satisfy the requirement to have perfect fallback.

Re: [BOUNTY] Typing Indicator for Command Bar
fun fact, you do not need tgui for typing indicators on the command bar.

so there IS a viable way to achieve this while statisfying the requirement to have perfect fallback!
