so NH9 gave me this idea

 

what about actual smilies (and weapon icons/perk icons) in game chat?

dooo eeeet

I like that.

If that goes ahead, we should give server admins a command to enable or disable that.

While it's funny for some, some others will find it annoying.

Should be up to the server admin to evaluate wether it's regular players would like to have it or not.

 

and weapon icons/perk icons

Is it simple to resize when called to the chat, or will it need to be resized and packed on iw_23? (poor Zer0w if it has to be repacked)

 

p.s.: talking about updates, I think you forgot to remove "patch_so_escape_hamburg.ff" from the updater.

mrgreen is worse.

Sounds awesome, but also this:

it's a neat feature, but it makes the screen look spamey and like those god-awful IM chats.

I DON'T MIND, GIMME NAO!

Sure why not.

Wait, IW4M or IW5M?

(don't think that this'd be for IW4M, but yea... :3)

Have it work like IW4M's suicide messages - I provided a dvar there to turn it off and on, players in IW5M should have that opportunity too.

 

This probably shouldn't be server-sided, i.e. server admins can't choose to turn it off and on

sounds nice

As long as it doesn't crash the client/server it's okay :3

I play with cg_chatheight 0.

:twisted:

No, it would get in the way of dot-hook.dll

If the player can turn it on/off, then it should be no problem.

Maybe limit the smiles to 3 or 4 per line.

 

That's what yahoo messenger does. (maybe it was 6 per line)

I think 2... it just gets annoying after a while.

No, it would get in the way of dot-hook.dll

how would it

 

in iw4 it'd be nice too, have a commando icon display any time you knife someone

We need missingno.

missingno is good.

Not hard to select a screen resolution that keeps in-game chat text at a minimum size if you're the kind of person that wouldn't like this sort of idea. I say go for it!

but screen resolution doesn't change the relative size of chat at all, and affects tons of other stuff

 

guess you haven't heard of cg_chatheight and such either
