cRPG message system updated

[Joseph Porta]

Small but quality update, thanks Harald

[Kalp]

I think that Delete option doesn't work. I tried on Chrome and Mozilla and nothing happen. To delete you must enter single conversation, in this case it works, overall not. Also check box for all messages ("select all") would be a good improvement.

i used it quite often already and it works like a charm, thanks harald.

[Rhekimos]

Very useful, thanks.

[kinngrimm]

love it, nicely done.

erm may i include a erm wish 
like being able to safe a few guys under certain name, so that for depending on purpose we could then send that group of people an email.

A long overdue update to the messages:

- Multiple recipients
- You can send to clans (the message is send to all leaders)
- You can send the same message to all clan members with a specific rank
- Messages are grouped by conversation

If you find any bugs post them here.

First of great message update (definitely an improvement)

However, I do have one complaint. Why is it that who ever you want to message it is always the last name to come up? You have to type the whole name in most cases for it to even show as an option.

I'm the only person in my clan whos name begins with a V therefore by the time I've (or someone else has) wrote Phalangite_V I should be the first name on the list, yet I don't even show when I've wrote Phalangite_Vermilio

Obviously I've tried many other names and this is a re-occuring issue

Strange, looks like the search is putting too much weight when a single word (the clan tag) matches and ignores the others / your name is too far down the list (result is limited to 10 entries). The exact match doesn't work because it ignores the _ (handled like a space). As workaround just search for your name without the tag.

[Vermilion]

Yeah, that works a lot better.

Looks like the word recognition far superior to character recognition, if this could be altered I personally think it would be beneficial.

Also on a sort of side note there's no error leeway. One character out and the name won't appear. Don't know if it would be possible to add some sort of "did you mean" style system.
Though I can imagine adding some sort of leeway on characters may cause more problems..

what i believe to have witnessed several times.

You put in a name and the search gives you not only existing names, but Names from before someone made a  Name change. Can someone confirm that?

No it doesn't. I typed my old name and it didn't appear.

search for Ronald Mellisandro, he told me that a few of those had been name changed former Names.

Harald can you message explicitly also to alts or STF characters or only to the main character? I guess it would end up in the same email box, but it may explain some of the search results i got.

[Harald]

Each char has its own inbox. I need to check name changes, it might be possible they show up while the request is open because of the way they are handled and/or this is old data.

[Vermilion]

Yep you sure can message alts and STF .. you can message yourself if you want..

I know I have messaged my alts, SFT's and myself... comes in handy if you switch between computers as much as I do.

[kinngrimm]

is there a way for sending a message to a bunsh of people without selecting everyone singlhandedly.

f.e. i want to send the same message to each of my clan mates.

copy&paste a list of player names, either way sepparated by of comma/space/linefeed

and/or

safe the recipients, so later on i could do it without copy&paste but by just selecting a group of guys i defened earlier.

[En_Dotter]

In recipients use "rankX" (x=1 to 10, depending on what rank u want to send, ex. rank10 sends to leaders) or "rankX-Y" (ex. rank1-10 sends to all members).
