show typing

[Derkylos]

The client was not designed to detect typing in the chat box and transmit that data to the server and flhook only registers typing after it had been sent to the server by pressing enter I believe, this is why I doubt it is possible. I could be wrong though.

Can it not detect it as you press enter to open the chat box, too? This would be a very useful feature, for those times when you're sitting, RPing with someone, and you're not sure if they're even responding to you...

The client can detect it yes, but i cant think of a reason off-hand why it would need to tell the server that the chat window is open. This means it probably does not tell the server this. But, you know, this is all conjecture.

great idea, but people would find ways to abuse it.

let say a pirate stops you, and you start writing a message......

TO THE POLICE!!!:P
Seriously, i like the idea but i think it would cause lots of grief...

The /setmsg <number> <message> is a good replacement thou :)

make different colors

green flashing name = private
white flashing = system
blue = local (/l detection)
purple = group

it sounds nice as an idea, but i am afraid it will be abused heavily.

Maybe everyone could do this, when typing (or about to type technically) just say this: /T:Peasy way.

Good idea anyways though Mr. ZORK. Been waitin for someone to think of that.

it would be a way... but think of the new players

noone of these will type /t
just remember of the system chat in NY with 4.84 and before

nearly noone used // or private chats

Macros =/= Roleplay.

Stuff happens. You apologize, send them 500k for blowing them up prematurely, and get over it all.

A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
