Buy Powers Page Newish’ness – What?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Anyone who frequents the Xat buy powers page (don’t we all) will surely have noticed a tiny addition, two actually.

Xat has added a vertical row of Xat rockets. These rockets mark only those powers that are required to qualify for, that o so glorious, “ALLPOWERS”. In fact, stated right there on the Buy Powers page, in black and white, next to the allpowers “power” Xat says:

“To qualify for allpowers you need to have one of each available standard power (marked with a rocket). Powers that are limited in quantity and epic powers are not required”.

Users will also note that Xat has color highlighted the banish power in a pukish, I-don’t-feel-so-well, shade of green; we’re guessing so differentiate the first of many more group powers.

Anyway, hope that help someone out there. Here is an image for ya!

Xat Temp Owner – How it works!

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

xat temp owner

We have and are now testing tempowner. Here is what we know so far – thanks “help chat” Brian for helping with this :) To make someone a tempowner:

  • You must be Main owner of your chat. This is the first Xat created MAIN OWNER only power (credit to Phsycical for pointing that out)
  • Private chat someone and type /mo1.0 where 1.0 is the time in hours (just like you would with tempmod or tempmem)
  • You are limited to a 24 hours maximum when tempowner’ing anyone

Your tempowner will be able to do the following (at least for now during the testing phase):

  • Can make perm mods for up to 1 hour
  • Can make perm members for up to 1 hour
  • Can make temp mods for up to  24 hours
  • Can make temp members for up to  24 hours
  • Can ban mods, members and guests (perm, temp or otherwise) for up to 24 hours

Those of you who have Tempowner can try it out on http://xat.com/xatworld or http://xat.com/xat_test; both chats are setup to test new powers. No wait, actually can you? Hmmmmm…

Need us to try or test another power using TEMPOWNER? Just ask below. Thanks!

Xat Bump – More info!

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

While Bump continues to be tested we have info on it for you.

- First off, as of this posting Bump only appears to be functioning in the HELP chat

- Bump is used to get the attention of someone that has either left the PC, has looked away, or simply doesn’t realize that they’ve been PC’d. Right now, it looks to be a user power strictly for use within a private chat

- How to use: Private chat a user, if he doesn’t respond, type (bump) then hit enter. The chat will visually shake violently, your tab will appear RED to the user and he will hear a sound altering him to your private chat. What’s especially interesting is that Xat has taken a sound-byte right from their own Audies page.  So, those of you wanting to know what bump sounds like only need go as far as our Xat sounds codes page and click the LISTEN link adjacent to #laserfire3. Xat appears to also have killed that particular audie from being used as a “normal” audie in the chat; test it out! This has since been fixed.

Here is a screenshot of the red tab that a user being bumped would see:

xat bump

Special thanks to Phsycical of Help and VGI for giving me a hand with the power and the screenshot.

Xat Banish Coming to User Powers?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

xat banish

Unconfirmed rumor (thanks Yovi!) has it that those who previously purchased Banish may soon see it in their powers list. Again, this is unconfirmed, but seeing as how there is a now a Banish graphic, there may be some truth to it.

See the new graphic here:

New Xat Power – NOPM

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Xat is working on another new power called NOPM. Mundoxat user Fakudarfe has spotted and was nice enough to submit the following screenshot.

NOPM, we’re guessing, keeps users from from private messaging you.

Stay tuned!

Next Xat Power – Easter

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Flashrank – Next Xat power

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Now that Xat has started testing the new Flashrank power, we wanted to give you a quick idea of what it does.

Flashrank simply cycles your current chat rank color with either blueman, pink or purple. Note that you do need one of these three additional powers, and they must be activated, for Flashrank to work.

Example:
You have blueman activated and you’re member in a chat; your pawn would cycle through bluemans dark blue and member blue. See JOOMBLY, ACKIRBACHU and DARREN in the image below. All three are testing Flashrank.

xat falshrank

We’re still gathering some more details but those are the basics of Flashrank. Maybe someone else can answer the question, “What happens if you have blueman AND pink activated?” How about blueman and purple, pink and purple, blueman, pink and purple? Which one takes precedence over the other(s)?

Update: Flashrank does not work in OWNER stealth mode ($). So, if you have the “$” in front of your nick and are owner in your chat, you won’t see any change. Just remove the “$”.

New Xat Smiles

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

We’re light on details at the moment but Xat has designed the following group of seemingly wedding themed smiles:

(bride)(cake)(clink)(dance)(dance2)(dance3)(groom)(phat)(photo)(toast)

Could these smilies have anything to do with power 65?

xat bride smile
xat cake smile
xat clink smile
xat dance smile
xat dance2 smile
xat dance3 smile
xat groom smile
xat phat smile
xat photo smile
xat toast smile

As always, all smiles can be previewed on the Xatworld smiley generator page.
