Add img flairs to chat and group messages by type

Recommended Posts

Posted

I think the chat looking like the image below rather than what it is now would be more comfortable to look at.

Basically for what the player sees,

  • have flairs to the top-left of each group to identify the type.
  • it would group chat messages of same type/source.
  • add a red line separator/divider (like unread discord messages) before new messages appear after a specific interval of time like 1m 30s of chat being inactive in different channels.
  • if possible, allow player to navigate through channels with CTRL + 1-7 as long as the chatbox is open since it's used for animations.

It's far better than having the type of output formatted between square brackets like "[ECRP] Server restart in 5 minutes." or "[AFKMATH] You have been staying in the same area for far too long..." or "[FACTION SYSTEM]". I know the alignment is wonky for what I have designed but this is just the idea and it would probably need to scale with lines, resolution and the entire box's main scaling.

For the /melow and /rlow or whatever low it would have the square brackets but in grey with its designated flair.

+1 Looks very cool! Smaller glyphs and whatnot would be needed to avoid clutter and eyesore, but this draft is definitely a good concept.

Obviously also grant the ability to toggled it on/off.
