Instead of only be able just talk to one person in private chat...how about being able to invite other users into a private chat channel...I know we could just talk in Osu!....but it would still be a interesting update to osu! What do other people think

Nowadays you can create those kind of chats by:

1- Going into a #multiplayer room.

Why is this bad?:

a- You can't play/edit/etc while you're using this "feature".
b- No more than 8 players can join.
c- You are forced to listen to the song you "are going to play", which is annoying since I'm sure many players do use osu! as a music player while they are playing/chatting.

So, what's the second method?

2- This is new, by using the new chat feature #spectator. This new feature is excellent, whenever you spectate someone and he starts playing, a new tab pops up, #spectator. Here every user spectating player X will read every message every sends through that tab, and the player being spectated himself will be able to chat too. You don't get kicked from this tab even if the player stops playing/quits the map, which is good since it'd be a pain to get a chat reset every time the guy changes map. Meaning: the tab apparently won't close unless you do something/the spectated player does something so you will get the "Stopped spectating X" message appear. All this is good and does not need to be changed.

Cons to this are the same as before, except for b-.

So, if we can already "do this", why not add some feature that allows us to "create" a temporal channel (which would be "deleted" when everyone leaves) where you can invite your friends to join? Joining randomly would not be possible, you'd need an invite from any player who is already on that channel. I'd say the creator could have some privileges like /kick and such but that could be suggested later.

PS: Don't go around saying "you can do this on mIRC", because not everyone uses mIRC (in fact I'm sure a VERY HIGH percentage of players do not use it) or wants to use another program to chat with osu! players. And this would be more comfortable, like you want to do a group chat, you just invite a few friends and do it, instead of "hey let's go mIRC join #xxx@irc.idasif.com".

tl;dr: Add a feature where you can create a channel and everyone there can invite people to join, channel is temporal and disappears when everyone goes offline/closes the tab. Reasoning behind this: you can already do it but you gotta create a channel/spectate/get osu! locked on something. This is not urgent at all, obviously, but guessed it wouldn't be hard to do.

This would be useful for IRC modding collab maps.

Aside from that, I can't really think of much else it'd be used for.

Anyway, who am I to eschew utility in support of practicality? Support.

In most IRC servers I've been on, you can create your own channels. This is like creating your own chat room.

The problem with this on osu! is moderation. You can get 100 people in a single "private" channel and have it lack proper moderation.

What you should ask is, "why WOULD this be useful?".

Ephemeral, there is #mod-norequests last I checked.

fair enough i guess....However a lot of players don't use irc servers to talk so it could be beneficial for them

I don't see how this would work unless it does create a channel for each private chat. That would get a bit tedious.

If you can create the private server yourself, The server button place might be full! (of course, maybe peppy will add some more channel)
Sleep Powder
#private-chat
#private-chat1

or something like that?

Separate channels like when you PM people but only with invitations.
Including a shortcut to do this
e.x /invite [insert username here] To invite
/make room To make a seperate channel for multiple people.

I.e. +pi, right?

/me hides.

I suggest making a multiplayer game for the time being. It gives you a private chat with up to 8 slots.

OK....but is it something worth looking into peppy?

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

he never denied it, he only denied the duplicates

I like this idea. Last night I was wishing it was there...

As for the "each channel lacks moderation" so do the 1v1 private channels.
What's the difference? A few more people? It's all the same, really...
On top of that, it would be "private" so it would only bother those who have entered the chat.

If it weren't for the multiplayer chat channels, I would think this was an impossible idea.
Isn't there a way to set up a normal channel the same way, except without having to be in multiplayer (so if you wanted to watch someone play and have a group talk about it, or discuss a map in its creation stages with multiple people without bothering the OSU channel)
Maybe you could put a limit on it for up to 8 people like multiplayer or something?

I know there is skype too. But it'd be easier instead of alt+tabbing all the time

i totally support this. it is nice to have an own channel for just a group of people for whatever reasons. the spectator chat for example is such a gift and you can chat freely and not over 3 persons. games i know starcraft 2 and leage of legends have this feature aswell and for a community game like osu it should be too. totally support, even if at last with the addition of clans/teams there will be a teamchat then i guess? but then again you are bound with your people to a clan just to have it. so anyways here have my +1 i was thinking about where to spend it all day long lol

no need to bump topics that were posted in recently. plus this in on the first page sorting by sp, so i'm sure the mods will see this without useless bumps
