Cool VL Viewer forum

For some business owners this can be a critical feature: The ability to autorespond to people's IM's. Autoresponses can be as simple as "Hi, I'm afk, drop me a notecard" or "Yes, I know the vendor system is borked, I'm working on it" and expand to auto-send a notecard or object if needed.

(It's very useful because there ARE people on the grid who just FLIP. OUT. if they don't get a response in point-zero-two seconds when they IM a shopkeeper or other business person...)

I've not enough time to work on this (Mesh backport comes first and is time consuming). However, v1.26.0.14 will allow you to send the Busy mode auto-response also when you are set Away if you so choose.

That'll at least help. (Busy mode auto-declines inventory sends, though, which can be a hassle for some.)

I know you're busy with Mesh, I wasn't trying to say this should be a rush job. I just wanted to get this "in the queue" while I remembered, for when Mesh is done.

Not in the Cool VL Viewer v1.26, at least not if you don't configure it to reject offers. See: Preferences --> Notifications --> Inventory Offers --> Automatically reject when busy

Squeee! OMG I never noticed that! Thaaaank you!

I made the patch for Cool VL 1.23.5 and used (also in 1.25.0) privately. It was ported from Phoenix 1.5.0.187, now updated from 1.5.2.1185 and I made several changes.
I didn't test enabling RestrainedLove.

The differences between this patch and Phoenix 1.5.2.1185:
1. When "Enable Autoresponse" is enabled, "Announce incoming IMs" is disabled. But when "Enable Autoresponse" and "Autorespond only to non-friends" are enabled, "Announce incoming IMs" is enabled.
Phoenix 1.5.2.1185:
When "Enable Autoresponse" and "Announce incoming instant messages" are enabled, that forced to enable "Send as soon as they start typing". The sender receives the auto-response while they are typing, before sending. And then the recipient doesn't get incoming notice.

2. "Autorespond only to non-friends" and "Autorespond also to people you have muted" can be enabled when "Enable Autoresponse" is enabled. (See figure.)
Phoenix 1.5.2.1185:
"Enable Autoresponse", "Autorespond to non-friends" and "Autorespond to people you have muted" can be enabled independently.

3. World Menu: "Enable IM Autoresponse", this functions with its options; "Autorespond only to non-friends" and "Autorespond also to people you have muted".
Phoenix 1.5.2.1185:
Phoenix Menu > Enable Autoresponse, this functions independently, no relation with "Autorespond to non-friends" or "Autorespond to people you have muted".

4. Preferences Panel: The menu expressions are changed.
5. Preferences Panel: The menus are enabled/disabled depending on the other related ones.
6. Preferences Panel: The menus are disabled before loging in.


Known issues:
(These are the same as Phoenix 1.5.2.1185.)
1. When "Autorespond also to people you have muted" is enabled, auto-responed to every message from the muted people(even if "Autorespond to every message" is disabled).
This is the same as Busy Mode auto-response.

2. When "Don't show IMs you auto-responded to" and "Send as soon as they start typing" are enabled, auto-responded twice; while they are typing and after sending.

3. When "Autorespond also to people you have muted" and "Send as soon as they start typing" are enabled, auto-responded while they are typing and to every message from the muted people(even if "Autorespond to every message" is disabled).
