Universal Chat Service

[Bigbelow]

I am on the SoF client. So anyways this is what is happening. I downloaded SoF configured my .txt file so I can play EQEmulator. My friend chat was working at the beginning then about 3-4days later my service has been out for about 2-3weeks now.[color=#000000]

I too am on the SoF client, and my universal chat service has been out for a month and a half (i installed it back in mid may). It's frustrating because /ooc doesn't work so I have to use /yell and then people just end up blocking me

I often get an error saying "Please wait while we reconnect you to the Universal Chat service. Your request has not been sent." when I first enter a zone, but my /ooc chat always works fine. I always assumed this error was associated with the chat channel services that were installed into later versions of EQ.

Yup.

[Tovahna]

so basically there's nothing u can do to solve the problem? lol

[Tyler]

I have been having this since i started to use SoD. Never bothered me. OOC works, shout works, tell works etc.

[Tovahna]

ok guess i'm just bugged then, oh well, thought i'd ask

The chat channel service would be awsome, but I dunno what would be involved to implement it server side. It created these general chat channels for like class, zone, and world wide(since /ooc was only zone chat there). You could also create your own chat channels which was handy for keepin in touch with out of guild friends and also for raid channels. There is also a integrated voice chat with SoD but once again that all surely involves alot of server changes(could probably no longer suport Titaium I would assume)

The universal chat service at this time is not supported that im aware of and really is not needed since ooc functions the same way irrc uc was lives version of the emu ooc.

As far as ooc not woking please try this:

remove all chat boxes down to a single main chat box

go into option filters make sure ooc is selected to SHOW

log completely out of the game

Go to your eq directory and check your Eqclient.ini
Look carefully in the list for an option to turn ooc on/off, 0/1, or true/false
(sometimes adjusting ooc to show/hide in game causes an option in the eqclient.ini to turn off but not to turn back on) if its on and working some clients dont even have this option in the eqclient.ini

log back in and check results good luck this works for most with this issue hope it helps you.
