The Commissar Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 OK, I don't think Ive seen this mentioned before, although it might have been in one of those monstrous CM2 suggestion threads. Here goes: This isn't a crucial part of the game, but it adds much to the enjoyability of TCP/IP matches. The current ability to chat is pathetic, to say the least. The ammount of words you can type is small, the messeges dissapear fairly quickly, when a conversation is going on it clutters the screen, and worst of all, you can't view past conversations in the same game. Once again, this isn't crucial, but it kind of makes the TCP/IP function, which is working wonderfully BTW (besides the god awful captured crew bug), look cheap and un-proffesional. If you (BTS) has the time, I would like to suggest something like a window you can open and close where all your messeges in game are stored. That way, you can minimize and maximize it at will, look back on previous conversation (no more "I had to go to the John, what did you say?"), and generally make chatting much easier and more enjoyable.

Panzer_Meyer Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 I aslo agree with this. It would be great to go back and see what your opponent is typing. Or prefer not see when your opponent is typing "whooo hoooo!!! I got your Tiger, whooooo hooooo!!!!". That gets me all pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtweasle Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 It would be a nice feature. I don't do TCP/IP too often, but in the several I have done I can see the benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 More advanced Chat options were suggested some time ago by yours truely but they do not represent a significant usage of programing time and resources, unfortuantely. Doesn't mean they wont be implemented at some date, just means they are low on the list. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
