Commander chat.

jergodz

How about a command chat option, aside from all chat and team chat. It would show up in green or something so that you know the commander is giving you a direct order. Simple to implement but it should be very handy for commanders that don't have mic's

Alot of commanders that use mic's use the text chat aswell so that they can get more attention from the players. This will be useful for commanders with mic's aswell.

Exactely what I thought, when the commander says something it shows up the same way as all other chat. But if it stands out more because the color isn't the same players will notice and react to it more..

Good point, but not just the text chat. Also the voice notification bar on the right side if a player speaks should be shown in a special color so the players know their commander is speaking to them. :) To summarize it the commander should be visually highlighted in the overall team communication.

But I should be a seperate button for ComChat. I write sometimes many thing in chat as Com, so talking of game as Com shouldn't be highlited at all.

Not really sure why it shouldn't be implemented. Commander was white voicecomm color in NS1. It should be green or something.

Suprised me that this hadn't already been implemented.

The custom chat frame in my <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=113246" target="_blank">menumod </a> kinda does this but guess its a bit too subtle with just "Com" tacked on to the chat type string. I will add an option to also color the chat line as well

Yeah! I just tried your menumod right now and it is awesome! With minimal tweak as you suggested it, it would be perfectly solve the addressed problem in this thread. Keep up the good work!

This should be in the game.

It's kinda funny how simple idea's like this are often overlooked but can make a huge difference when they are in.
