Daytona211 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Name: Khufu / Day / Verd / Daytona RP Rank: Colonel Suggestion: add a feature to the chat which allows for small group communication IE (CG chat, 41st chat etc). This would improve chat comprehensibility, and allow for groups to communicate easier without having to see messages such as "/comms [RANCOR] Do XYZ" which is only meant to be seen and heard by RANCOR. Implementation: Either edit the original GMOD 'u' chat which allows you to speak to a group to communicate with your battalion. For example, if you're a 41st medic hit the 'u' key and then type a message all of the 41st jobs can read it. A more sophisticated implementation would be to break that chat up into multiple tabs which can be cycled through by clicking on them this would totally isolate sections of the chat so if a commander wanted to focus only on adverts so that they can stay tuned to order from the GM they can go to the advertisement chat. This seems like a much heavier item to develop / add though so this is more of a "would be nice" type of thing. I have attached a mini wireframe below Spoiler I have linked an addon which allows for this type of communication BUT it requires ULX which may be an instant turn off but it can be a good model for what we should implement.

Carvis Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 This would be pretty neat, and I believe it was implemented into MRP when that was a thing. My only concern comes to moderation... If someone is in a battalion that has no staff on and starts spamming the N word then staff members won't be able to see it. I'm not going to give feedback since I can't neutral but those are just my thoughts 1 Report Link to comment

If it's an issue, someone can report it and staff can check the logs. If the one guy does it when no one else is on in his battalion, then meh. 2 Report Link to comment
Scribbles Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) This can be a thing just do /radio (number) to do a frequency. This seems like an unnecessary addition Also...

Stockings Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 +1 I think this would be extremely useful with just about everyone. Far better than putting [ Jedi ] or [CG] ahead of every comms message. Hopefully something like this can replace that system. People Who Put Their Former Ranks In Their Signature Are Idiots!

Retired Founder Ron Posted January 26, 2020 Retired Founder Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Sorry, but if you didn't read the very first line of the workshop description: " NOTE: This chat requires ULX " ULX is most notably the worst, horrendously preforming Admin Mod and can barely support an 80 player server and a bans table over 1,000 lines. We do not use ULX, and have not used it for quite some time. Any suggestion that requires ULX will be automatically denied for this simple fact. We are currently running a lightly-modified D3A and I'll be re-writing both D3A and the chatbox in the near future. Denied 1 1 Report Link to comment
