General site updates, TODO list and discussion

In the beginning there was walrii. In the end there will be walrii. All hail our supreme leader

[DJ Omnimaga]

And also as notification icon 
Edit: this is abouts how it looks like (i just made a shortcut with chrome)

(Also, looks like theres a small bug in my lwp )

oh actually that doesn't look too bad. i was worried that the background would be too distracting. What is the icon size by the way?

[Duke "Tape" Eiyeron]

Oh, please, a nearest neighbour scale would give a better pixelated result for high-res phones.

[Snektron]

@DJ Omnimaga i don't know, as i said it's just quickly made with chrome :3, but my phone id xhdpi i think if that helps

@Eiyeron indeed, but yeah, chrome shortcut >.<

[Duke "Tape" Eiyeron]

You meant the favicon? Why not using DJ's avatar? Or

[Snektron]

Because chrome automatically takes the favico when you create a shortcut >.<

[DJ Omnimaga]

You could scale it up in an image software like Eiyeron suggests so that it won't look blurry on large screen resolutioms.

[Snektron]

Ofcourse, that's done in a few sec (paint.NET ftw)

Here's the icon that I made:

[DJ Omnimaga]

That looks nice, although it would probably be better to include the C behind the Walrii and maybe make Walrii occupy more space. I personally prefer Cumred icon, though.

In the near future it will be possible to use OmnomIRC again on the website. An extra sub-member group will be created so you can do this. There already exists a group to disable WalrusIRC. This one will enable Omnom.

We are not ditching WalrusIRC, but some people are unable to access it (it says you must login to chat even if they're logged in) or might be annoyed by the scrolling bug in Firefox. Since it is clear that with school there won't be any fix soon, the new member group will act as an alternative for those who want it.

The drawback with OmnomIRC is the extreme lag on some ISP's.

The nightmares D:

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yes, and near the end it was worse on my side (up to 2 minutes of lag). But some people didn't have any lag. It wasn't browser-specific.

[Snektron]

There's a minecraft mod that allows you to talk via IRC, i tried it out once with FreeNode. No Problem.
Tried it with Omninet, 90% FPS Drop and crashed my game

[Duke "Tape" Eiyeron]

Omnimaga : crashing things with IRC since 2014! :p

Jokes aside they should really fix that problem now.
