Nvee	Posted - 2010.08.15 05:05:00 - [1] EVE looks great when you can see it. I'm sure it has been brought up before, but why isn't there a command chat window that filters your other channels into it? eg. You have windows, "intel" "corp" "fleet" open in the usual tabs. You can minimize all those windows and have command chat open and by setting your active channels to different colors all 3 or however many you want filter into your command window. [intel] spike in local [corp] reds next door, jump in fleet and to talk by using /corp /intel commands. would love to be able to see more than 1/4 of my screen and so sick of the delay with changing tabs in lag.
Stick Cult Unspoken Autonomy.	Posted - 2010.08.15 05:52:00 - [2] could be nice... and also very confusing Then again, the point of eve is to have all the graphics covered up by UI! Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Civ Zomas Gallente Jazz Associates	Posted - 2010.08.15 11:41:00 - [3] I agree, multiplexing chat into one window by different colour text would often be better than the tab nightmare we currently have. Unfortunately, Eve already reserves coloured text for chat from special characters (GMs, CCP etc.)

Unfortunately, Eve already reserves coloured text for chat from special characters (GMs, CCP etc.) That would not matter. Via the command box you get your color pallet choices of 20 colors or whatever they are so GM's might be yellow right now, but you can change intel to yellow and GM's to dark red. People can leave everything as is or change each option to something different, up to them.

Yep, color would be optional but basically you would see [intel] spike in local [corp] reds next door, jump in fleet Except to make things super easy, you might have intel set to Red or something so that it stands out against corp/alliance chat in white or green or whatever. If i knew how to post in color would be handy :)

Uriel Winston	Posted - 2010.08.16 18:25:00 - [8] interesting idea, however not as detail as it should. atm chats have a full player list (alliance, corp, local, etc)if you put all of the tabs in a single colum and have different names-colours before the message (as said above) How would you be able to see who is in alliance, corp, and Local?

Why would you need to? If you need to see who's actuall in each channel, go look at the channel. The idea here is to present relevant information in one place. A list of all the users in a particular channel isn't necessary. --Vel
Mara Rinn	Posted - 2010.08.16 20:17:00 - [10] The combined channel would simply have no member list, but clickable names. -- [Aussie players: join ANZAC channel]

I think the OP said this, but this would just be a new window, not replacing all your old chat windows. You'd still have those, too. Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad.

Seamus Donohue	Posted - 2010.08.18 00:58:00 - [12] Edited by: Seamus Donohue on 18/08/2010 00:58:34 World of Warcraft does something similar, and I think that would be a good system to adopt here. Each chat tab can be user-configured to show chat from multiple channels, and a slash-command is used to specify which channel outgoing chat is being sent to. /15 The text typed here would go to whatever channel you specified as Channel 15 on your interface. __________________________________________________ Survivor of Teskanen, fan of John Rourke.
