WHAT YOU NEED TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:
Ya know... I was gonna make a basic simple idea, just have a GUI system for contacts and I put down a few ideas. But nooo… my stubborn ass has to add more detail than I should and make a WHOLE other concept of group chats. Enjoy this...
Now lots of you can agree the phone/contact system isn't the best. It's hard to know you blocked, who is on your contact list, and many other things. So here is my idea on how it could be fixed and some ways to add a 'favorite' system and a way to easily see your contacts plus the people you blocked.
OKAY, FIRST THING- HOW THIS SYSTEM WOULD LOOK LIKE!
Using the chat just spams it and it's so hard to see, so something like a GUI
Example of GUI (1):
The edit contact page example (2):
How the contact will look example (3):
Now let me explain everything!
When opening the phone or doing something like /contacts a GUI will pop up (1) and you will see a variety of buttons and your contacts, let me explain them all!
Online Only: Click this will only show the contacts that are online
Offline Only: Click this and it will only show contacts that are offline.
Favorite Only: This will show only your favorites contacts. It will show the ones online and offline.
Enchanted (favorited): If the contact is shiny like it's enchanted this shows the contact is favorited and will be easy to see.
Blocked Numbers: Clicking this will show all the numbers that are blocked, this can cause people to easily unblock people or see who they blocked.
Edit Contacts: Clicking this will allow you to edit your contacts, you click on this button and the contact you wish to edit. (Will go into more detail)
Previous Page: Goes back a page
Next Page: Goes to the next page
Pages: Easy way to click through your pages of contacts.
I FORGOT TO ADD THIS IN THE PHOTO BUT A SEARCH OPTION, CLICKING ON IT YOU CAN SEARCH THE PERSON NAME YOU SAVED AND IT WILL GO DIRECTLY WHERE THE CONTACT IS!
EDITING CONTACTS
Contact Name: Will show the basic info of the contact: Name, Phonenumber, and Username
Remove Contact: Clicking this will prompt a ‘are you sure’ and if clicked yes the contact will be removed.
Edit Name: Instead of removing the contact and readding the contact to change its name clicking this will allow to quickly change the contact name.
Favorite/Unfavorite: If it's shiny (enchanted) it means the contact is already favorited. You click it to favorite or unfavorite that contact
Block Contact: If you have a contact that you want to block, click this and it will block the contact.
When you hover over a contact it will show the basic info (3). It shows the name of the contact you saved, their phone number, and their username. To quickly call the contact without doing /call (name) you can simply click on the contact and it will automatically put it in chat, alternatively you can use /call.
GROUP CHATS!
This is just a way I thought of that is a new way of viewing your contacts and stuff. But wait.. There is 1 more thing! This is something that does not need to be added BUT I know lots of players want this… group chats!
Now if there was a GUI system for contacts you can easily edit and make group chats. Let me explain how..
If adding a group chat thing, on the main GUI screen there could be a button to view, create, and edit group chats..
This is how it could look:
Viewing Group Chat:
Creating Group Chat:
Now let me explain the buttons…
Group Chats: The number shows how many people are in the group chat (To reduce spam min is 3 and max is 10) and you can change the color to tell the group chats apart.
Create Group Chat: Clicking this will make you create a group chat (more detail later)
Invites: See the invites you have been sent. If enchanted it means you have an invite.
Back: Just goes back to the main page.
Edit Group Chats: Clicking on this and a group chat, you can edit the group chat such as the color.
Leave Group Chat: Clicking this and the group chat you wanna leave will leave the group chat.
VIEWING GROUP CHAT:
Online Members: Shows the online members that are on. It shows their name, phone number, and username. (Will go into more detail) If you want to private call the person you just click and it will put /call [Number]
Offline members: Shows who is offline, shows the same info as online.
Open slots: Show how many slots are open.
Enable/Disable Group Chat: Clicking this will enable or disable the group chat, you will be a part of it just won't receive any messages.
Group Chat Info: Hovering over this will show the basic info of the GC such as the name, how many members are in it, and who the owner is.
Remove Member: Only the owner of the group chat will see this. Clicking this and the member you want to remove will remember the member.
Edit Group Chat: Only the owner of the group chat will see this. You can edit the name of the group chat.
OTHER INFO!
To add more people to the group chat, the OWNER will click on an open slot to add.
CREATING GROUP CHAT:
Back: Goes back a page
Group Chat Info: Create a name for the group chat
Main Group Chat Color: The main color that the group chat will start as.
Add/Remove Members: Now this is a bit more complicated. Not really actually.
When you add a member you put their phone number in it, it will send out an invite to that person and when they accept the person can put their name and it will automatically set their username.
INVITES:
When getting invited to a group chat you will see the name, the phone number of the person who invited, and their username. You can click on YES or NO to accept it. If you accept it you put your name as you want to be known in the group chat.
TAKING TO THE GROUP CHAT:
To talk in a group chat you can do a command such as /GC or /group chat [groupchat name] than whatever you want to put.
Calling & Texting
**NEW IDEA! THANKS TO @Leoniide FOR THIS! I JUST AM ADDING ONTO IT...**
Now sometimes you might be in a situation where you cannot answer your phone, or you just don't want to answer the phone. You can simply ignore it or do something like /callw [Name] [!] The phone would not pick up. Something like that, I saw Leon's idea and I want to branch off that with calling and texting!
If you are gonna call someone you would just do /call [Name] and to the person, you are calling they will get a thing in chat saying something like:
[!] You are getting a call from [Name] [!] [ANSWER] [DECLINE]
If you answer you can freely do /call until you do something like /hangup.
Now for texting! If you don't want to call you can simply text someone, this can be done by /txt [Name] and it will automatically send through.
Now those might sound good and stuff but what if you don't want any text or calls? Well, here another idea- SETTINGS!
Settings
Now the settings can be on the main contact screen, it could be something like a nether star. When you click on it you can disable or enable certain things, here are some ideas!
1. Texting: If someone tries to text you and it's disabled it would say "This person is not receiving any texts at the moment"
2. Calling: The same thing as texting, if someone calls and its disabled it would say "This person is not receiving any calls at the moment"
3. Invites: If you do not want to get invited to group chats you can disable it!
Now that's all! Let's hope I don’t make this longer and add anything else. Thanks for reading!!
