additional chat panels while in space?

Dec 20, 2004 Bobsin link
would it be possible to create new panels in the HUD for every channel i join? ya know, like have missions, chat 100, chat 11, guild, and group instead of them all being lumped into one tab. perhaps one for messages too so messages don't get lost between multiple tabs.

reason being is i am unaware of an easy way to switch between channel 11 and 100 without typing /join 11 or /join 100. this becomes a bit annoying when i have multiple conversations going and usually have many typos while typing commands.

i am aware that the devs wanted to have a user configurable HUD at one point, and also was wondering if this would be what they had in mind? if so, is it something we will get to see sometime in the future?

anyway, thanks for the good times devs!! it has been 3 months and i am still having fun! :)

can't you alias/bind a key to toggle between /11 and /100?? or make two seperate keys that do a single switch?

Copy into your wgaf.cfg

alias chatkey1 "join 100; alias 'chatkey' chatkey2"
alias chatkey2 "join 11; alias 'chatkey' chatkey 1"
alias chatkey chatkey1
bind {WHATEVER} chatkey
