Updating Functionality

A list of things to remember when updating some functionalities.

Emotes

social

new emotes should ideally:

• have relatively well-defined purposes that aren't very narrow (when would you use the emote?).
• be easily understood by most (do you know what the user wants to say by using it?).
• not be a duplicate of another emote (in terms of purpose).
• bonus: already be popular, and have a well-known name that can be reused.

technical

• in chat-gui

  1. make sure height is (max.) 32 pixel, and preferably width, too.
  2. add emote in fitting place here
  3. animated emotes only: should be in sprite-format (not gif), and fitting css animations have to be added e.g. here.
  4. Finally, add the emote-name (name of the file minus extension) here, and rebuild.

• in Rustla2

  1. add emote name to .env(.example) variable EMOTES (used for username-emote similarity check)

Streaming/Video Services

• find out how to embed the stream with autoplay enabled.
• follow by example: https://github.com/MemeLabs/Rustla2/pull/82/files
• find out how to get current thumbnails of any given stream.
• if the service has a custom chat, probably add it here.
• come up with a regex to extract relevant ids/names for this service:
  1. add it to modbot here
  2. (add it to the frontend TODO)
• for custom players: check if CSP has to be adjusted
• implement online-detection and viewer-counter (optional)
• Update the List below.
