*Wolfsbane* Arbiters Darkwind Guru Badlands Truckstop Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,038 Joined: Oct 9, 2009 These things are excellent. Couple of small oddities: The windows are resizable, but not in a good way The /r command doesn't work any more - it just tells the other player their own name (which is odd). ......................... vet wv marshal pvp2 cont Posted Nov 12, 2009, 7:53 pm

*Marc5iver* 5ive Crew Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,354 Joined: Oct 10, 2008 Ugh! This is just another window polluting the screen. Would be nice if you could select to use this or not in the preferences. The only advantage I see is that you would not lose an incoming IM while loading up an event, but how often does that happen anyway? What happens if you are IMing with more than one person? Multiple boxes? Just my $0.02 55555 ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Nov 12, 2009, 9:36 pm Last edited Nov 12, 2009, 9:37 pm by Marc5iver

lordbam Nephilim Rising Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,410 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 I love them in the lobby, but during an event they litter way to much... On my comp they also minimize behind the steering wheel... and that looks kind of sloppy ......................... vet wv zom0,3,0 Posted Nov 13, 2009, 12:11 am

simonmaxhill Drive Backwards BFFs Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Storytellers Posts: 1,503 Joined: Mar 10, 2008 I hate change, so I am naturally not fond of the popup im window. It's probably not as bad as I think. ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 13, 2009, 12:51 am

*Marc5iver* 5ive Crew Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,354 Joined: Oct 10, 2008 When in an event, if someone IMs you, not only do you have the popup box, but after replying to the IM, you then have to click on your car twice to get the focus back on it. Before all you had to do was hit "t" /r, type your reply and after hitting enter the focus was back on your car. Another $.03 for a total of 5ive from me ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Nov 13, 2009, 5:54 am

Yeah, I was thinking that too Quote: The only advantage I see is that you would not lose an incoming IM while loading up an event more importantly, (i) you can have multiple IM chats on the go at a time, (ii) each with the chat all in one place rather than scattered through various chat boxes and interleaved with other stuff like public chat, (iii) replying to any of them is easy rather than only replying to the latest one being easy (and subject to occasional errors) Quote: What happens if you are IMing with more than one person?

*Marc5iver* 5ive Crew Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,354 Joined: Oct 10, 2008 This is the only place I have ever used IM, and it still freaks my son out every time he sees me using it. Others who are more experienced with IM might prefer the popup box but I definitely prefer the old way with everything in the same window. I have messed up in replying a couple of times by forgetting to type /r first but no big deal to me. If you can make it a preference I would be very happy, but no matter what happens, it isn't going to drive me away from the game. ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Nov 13, 2009, 8:26 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 OK, with Scripts v.269: Preferences now allow you to disable popup IM windows in either the lobby or the 3D game. There's also a new button in the Options window linking to the Preferences window, so you can get at Prefs from the lobby! I also fixed the /r bug ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 13, 2009, 9:14 am Last edited Nov 13, 2009, 9:15 am by *sam*

*Marc5iver* 5ive Crew Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,354 Joined: Oct 10, 2008 Thanks for the change Sam! One thing though, if clicking on another player's name in the "Users in lobby" list to send them another IM , the popup box still has the text from the last IM to them. Anyway to have that cleared out? Again, not a big deal as I would usually only do this the first time sending them an IM. ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Nov 13, 2009, 4:59 pm

*Wolfsbane* Arbiters Darkwind Guru Badlands Truckstop Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,038 Joined: Oct 9, 2009 Please don't! That's the best feature as far as I'm concerned.

Wolfsbane, This is only if using the option to not have the new popup box for IMs. The popup box I am talking about is when you click on a players name and select IM. No need for the previous message to be there as it is in the lobby message in orange text. ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Nov 13, 2009, 5:38 pm
