improving game chat.

Post by patatepatate »

To improve the game chat why not put two game chat. At left the game chat as we know now and at right the chat for "note to myself" and the hiden chat for team playing. That will allow to keep the note that we use in the game instead of being lost in the reply of the general chat.

Good idea.

Wouldn't it be better just to have an option to filter the existing chat window?

ie have a button to toggle between All chat and self/team only chat. This would save space on the screen and would be much less work to implement.

not a bad suggestion. The important thing is to filter between general chat vs self note or hidden team chat. When the chat is very active, it's hard to find the note between the noise.

Two boxes might seem clunky! I'd rather have an implementation of this script by Dako:


Subject: NEW Greasemonkey Script: Chat Filter
Dako wrote:This script offers one small functionality for you.

It adds 2 links to filter out all [team] and [self] messages from the other chat lines. Or the other way.

Install link - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/81365
Script works in Firefox and Google Chrome.

Screenshots to see how it looks:

1. Default state

2. Filtered by other messages

3. Filtered by team messages

Install link - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/81365

Note: this script has problems with chatglove and must be below chatglove in GreaseMonkey menu.

Enjoy!
