scroll chat history and multichat windows

Mar 18, 2004 poohsuntzu link
A problem I have quite a bit, is that so much can be happening in the chat that vital information can be lost. I would love to see a scrolling ability for the chat box area!

Another side note, is the ability to perhaps create a series of windows that we can switch through. It would require no extra screen space, but let's say we wanted to only hear group chat. Alt+2 could take us to the chat window #2 and thus alter the chat box to only display group messages.

Just a few thoughts that would make communication so much easier!

To scroll chat: while pilotting hit ~ and then Page Up/Down keys. Be sure that you page all the way down to the current chat before hitting ~ again or you will not see realtime chat.

As for the other issue, try out multilog under ESC / Options

Yes, both issues have been solved, but in undocumented ways. :P

To use MultiLog, you'll need to bind something to /log 1, /log 2, /log 3, etc. Unfortunately you can't bind Alt-1, etc, cause we don't have bindings for modifiers, well, other than shift. So you could bind !@#$%^ all to multilog.
