Multiplayer chat

[T-33 Lib]

Would it be possible for an option just to chat with your allies? It is currently impossible to coordinate attacks without the enemy knowing as well as telling allies where the enemy is without alerting them to the fact that we know about them.

hmm,well that's true. but i rarely use the inchat, cuz it takes to much time (hint hint hint, transparent background in chat/minimap in chat)

[T-33 Lib]

A transparent background would be good. Also since typing does take time maybe a chat template of the basic commands would be useful. e.g. attack, fall back,etc

I really like the team chat idea, especially with some basic command templates. Eg typing 1 (alone), either speaks or reads "attack".

Another simple chat suggestion is coloured chat - just helps to see who is talking to you (especially a problem with anons).

Just some thoughts.

<-- anon hater, they have nothing to lose, so if/when you play vs them and they are crap., you suffer.

I don't like Anon either. They drop out of the game during team play and leave me getting kill in Team games. I suck playing alone and my rating is below all Anon too.

Lib thts a great idea that would be great also if u could stop from letting someones chat get through if they're annoying.

Oh anons how you make my day ooohh so wonderfully wonderful hahaha! Just like what most players said, almost all anons seem to get worse every passing day. Some of them can be really fun to play with, but most of them are just there to ruin the day.

I am going to make a quick fix so that the server has a Main "(registered only)" room. This is a standby fix until the game is changed so that when you create a game, you can specify what ratings players have to be to join it. This is a longer fix.

[valicious]

That is a great modification Scott! I really think that you hit one of the jackpots buttons this time. Once this takes effects, there will no longer be backstabbing and trash-talking, or it will be down to a minimum at least. Kudos to you, Scott and to whoever is helping you out to make this a better game and community.

One more thing Scott, in addition to multiplayer team chat, I think it would also be nice to have a pm/conference in the chatroom so that "meddlers" won't be able to do their thing when a some players are trying to talk about some strategy or whatever they wanna talk about without letting the rest of the players know about it.

[scottlu]

Thanks valicious, those are good ideas!

[galm]

Yeah I agree too.

[T-33 Lib]

^Agreed as well.
