Just follow this url and play with "Click here to notify" button.

Advantages over current flash notifications: browser shows it over all windows so you can receive notifications while browsing web or working with other programs.

You can use it for current notifications like "you've been kicked", "leader closed lobby" etc.

Or you can put a button like "Enable rich notifications".

Interesting. Could you provide a full list of supported browsers?

[Demetrius]

Api may be different across browsers so i would like to use some wrapper lib like this - https://github.com/t...rowsers-support .

As you can see - all modern browsers except Opera.

Wow that's sick. I'd love to have. 

[Demetrius]

Few more ideas of how it could be used:

1. Someone is trying to contact me within lobby/main chat with message "my_nickname, actual_message" - show notification.

2. I've set some filters on "/lobbies" page and there are no lobbies like that right now. Would be cool if page can notify me when lobbies will appear.

[Demetrius]

ping?

Did some fiddling with it, this is what I'd consider ideal.

Made a proof of concept of this here: https://github.com/n...f2center-notify

 

It currently uses tampermonkey or greasemonkey and overrides a couple functions (including the new addChatMsg, woo!) to hook for messages and lobby statuses

Firefox, Internet explorer and many other web browsers aren't using the Webkit engine. Only Chrome(ium), Opera and Konqueror (not sure for safari).

 

I don't think it is a good idea. We are numerous to use Firefox.

Pretty sure firefox supports notifications too. Check out the script I posted above yours and let us know

Would definitely be cool to see this integrated into TF2C by default

It seems like it works. I didn't know that Mozilla intagrated this feature to Gecko

It's not webkit specific anymore, modern browsers support it quite well. It's also using the library mentioned above (HTML5-Desktop-Notifications) to support multiple browsers with as little effort as possible.

Everything except IE, which no one really gives a damn about these days...

[<basically deleted>]

But you musn't ignore it. It's still popular (more since IE11), and i'm sure that many tf2center users usually browse the internet with IE (and must use another browser to play lobbies).

 

Keep a fallback solution for IE users.

Chrome and Firefox make up 94% of our user base, IE alone makes up 2%.

My opinion regarding IE is that developers should have just refused to support a non-W3C compliant browser. It would have died a painful death a long time ago...

[TheMattgician]

Internet Explorer had to advertise itself on YouTube because it was so bad. And it's the default browser. But that's a bit besides the point.

 

Though I personally use FireFox for TF2C use only, and surf with another browser (Safari). Some people might do so with IE.

What makes up the other 4%? Steam browser?

Mostly Opera I'm guessing. Ya know, mac users.
