Backgorund Information On GSOUND!

$

Hey Everyone

I am so happy to find out that GSOUND one of many powers I suggested is actually getting made. I would just like to let you know what made me think of this power suggestion and why I think it would be a good power.

When I first joined Xat I always heard the BONG defualt sound that you hear when someone types a new message. I started getting annoyed with the sound and since 2009 always had the chat voulme on mute.

In 2011 I was making a list of different power ideas when I first thought of GSOUND and how it could be really useful for some chats. I thought, instead of having the BONG sound all the time why not have a little click sound (same kind of thing you get when you click on your computer mouse).

I worked closey with Joombly, the creator of Xatworld, to see what people thought of the power idea; you might remember seeing the poll on Xatblogs.com homepage or remember seeing this tweet: http://i49.tinypic.com/10dfoer.png. The original link was: http://util.xat.com/vote/story.php?title=sound-group-power-suggestion-rerite but was removed later due to Xat updating there servers.

After that the suggestion got emailed into Xat staff and they thought it was a good idea but I didn’t hear anything back. After a few months the suggestion got sent back in again and about a week later the power was created!

Thanks everyone for your support and remember, to make Xat better for everyone you need to suggest things that you would like to be seen added to Xat.com

A BIG THANKS TO JOOMBLY. YOU WERE THE ONE THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN!

Thanks!

Xat’s NUCLEAR power – Details

So we’re just getting some information on Xat’s new NUCLEAR power (217). We had a hunch, a few actually, and one of them has come close to what we imagined. The nuclear power, per Xat’s description, allows you to add “cool nuclear effects to your smilies”; think “nuclear engergy symbol“.

Xat has created an app (see below) that easily allows you to tweak your nuclear smiley effects.

xat nuclear power

That’s all we know for now. We will update this post as we get more info.

Just in! A bit of light has been shed on Xat power (218). STYLIST, a set of new hair style effects, has been announced on the Xat wiki and is now viewable on our Xat smiley generator.

Here are the current smileys for STYLIST: (stylist) (barber) (mirror2) (shave) (shair1) (shair2) (shair3) (shair4) (shair5) (shair6) (shair7)

Here’s the graphic from our Xat power search

Screen Shot 2013-02-22 at 5.14.59 PM

Still no news on power pricing or status. I’ll update this post when I get more info.

Update1: STYLIST power also includes two new pawns, scissors (hat#hs) and dryer (hat#hd)

Xat’s New VOTE power

$
0
0

Hey everyone! As a follow-up to our last post about Xat “possibly maybe” working on a poll power, well, it turns out that they were and have almost completed it! They did however make one last minute change and decided to name the power VOTE instead of “poll”.

The VOTE power gives you (chat main owner) the ability to create your own group chat polls. You currently have some reasonable control over said poll. You can for example, create your poll question with up to 8 answers, change the background image (a 425 x 320 jpg seems to work the best here), select who can vote (think of this as “rank and above”), and  customize a few other text fields. Note that at the time of this post Xat is still working on bugs and possibly a few improvements so some things may change.

Here’s is the current admin for Xat’s VOTE power:

Screen Shot 2013-02-28 at 11.57.33 AM

 

Also, this is a group power so you will first have to assign it to your chat then activate it in your chat administration panel. From there you will be able to access the VOTE dialog shown above.

This is the VOTE power smiley as well as the associated pawns:

An announcement by Xat on their Twitter feed has confirmed that the next power will be the EGGS power.

Per Xat, EGGS is limited and one power will be released every day; assuming here that they mean until Easter (March 31, 2013), that means we can expect roughly 9 smileys. We will update our Xat power search with the newest EGGS smileys as they are announced. Update: (eggs)(chickwalk)(eggnod)(eggbroke)(stripegg)(eggsleep)(bunnyears)(eggtounge)(basket2). Here is the EGGS power smiley:

A few weeks ago, Tom2 was at Xat’s test chat testing what a few suspected was the next power. Confirmed today, that power has been slated as (HEARTS), Xat power 224. Xat will be testing it throughout the day.

The only information we have so far is that HEARTS will be a game power (think spacewar, snakerace, matchrace, and doodlerace).

While we now wait for more details, you can take a peak at the HEARTS power smiley on our Xat smiley generator. We will update this post as we get more information.

Xat’s latest release, which comes in less than 4 hours, took me a bit by surprise. Many of us, I think, were expecting a Hearts release. Instead we are getting a KFOX release; presumably another “Kaoani” style group smiley power . Per Xat, the KFOX release will take place in 2 batches of 2500.

xat kfox power

 

The 12 the KFOX smileys are (kfox)(kfoxbino)(kfoxcry)(kfoxd)(kfoxggl)(kfoxinl)(kfoxpsy)(kfoxshades)(kfoxsleep)(kfoxtant)(kfoxtwag) and (kfoxwhat). They can be previewed on our xat smiley generator and or our xat power search.

In addition to the smileys, KFOX also brings us two Xat pawns. They are fox (hat#hf) and fox2 (hat#hw), seen here:
