Talk on the server without the game.

aaaaight then.. lets do what pude recommends.. could we implement a chat view only box in to any web page? together with whos online list?

I like pudes idea better, sorry laz.

Both SA:MP and IV:MP have the basic capabilities. However this are the problems:
1. Security: the chat should be protected from people entering to flood and flame the in-game chat
2. Laziness: admin would instead of being in game sit out game in chat and only enter if ther were a lot of reports
3. A multiplayer game server is not a chat server. To make one from it changes how people use the game.

Agreed on this Above, And the Point is it will become this, so i dont support The idea.

What i do support if we add a livemap, Similar to the one samp had, with a map over liberty city and players shown.

and if that map include a Window with the livechat, sure why not, but we wont do it like some chatplace where we can chat with players ingame, from phones,and outgame and such.

ingame will remain ingame.

ingame will remain ingame.

Exactly!

To avoid flooding

how about.. only /cb allowed?

I see few friends online that are in 1 channel with me, i would like to tell them that i will be online at some time, so that they could be ready with me, and do stuff...

so empty chat box. you write: /joinchannel 1
And instantly you join the channel as someone, and from then you start to see the channel messages, and add yours.

Hmm if its possible maybe 1 public channel, for everyone outside game to join, and talk to others from ingame wich also is in that channel.

But i realy dont support this idea, but if others are into it and the possibility is there, and it will work, then im fine with it.

The only way I can say something like this is acceptable, is MTA:VC.
Other than that, I dont like the idea, since its already been stated. Can you imagine if we actually had that? If your going to want to chat outgame, you might as well use MSN. Better yet, teamspeak. I show the TeamSpeak IP all the time, and its a great solution to communication in/outgame.

Ingame? Yes.
Outgame? No.
