say So, we'll have Nexuiz 2.4 soon with Ons, Assault, maybe turrets, texture blending, completely rewritten and redesigned nexposee menu....

say and we still have to write "say" on the console to start chat! :F

say Why on earth is it so complicated to pipe everything as "say" on the console, if it doesn't have a / before it?

say Just like every other game does in 2008...

say Thank you for listening.

What do you think?

because otherwise devs would need to type / all the time
(:P not rly)

[LordHavoc]

I think it would be better to just improve the messagemode (t key), add a variant intended for full blown chat, which can send multiple messages until you hit escape or hit enter twice or something...

[Psychcf]

imo the console is exactly what you'd think it is, a console. typing / all the time is just pointless...

[TVR]

The console is more frequently used for for commands, rather than chat messages; this is why the console is inclined toward commands.

A *very* good illustration of the problem with / prefix commands

Theoretically IRC suffers from the same problem, but in practice it doesn't, probably because the only things you ever send passwords to are nickserv/authserv bots via /msg, and you often script that away.

Nope, I don't use it either.
In fact I disabled chat completely:

Code: Select all

alias "nochat" "set scr_centertime 0; bind u dochat"
set con_chat 0
set con_notify 0
alias "dochat" "set scr_centertime 2; bind u nochat"
nochat


... cause people talk shit all the time and spam like there is no tomorrow
I don't like the insults they throw to all the noobs and such, like we wouldn't need a bigger community. That sux and I can not do anything against it, so I also don't wanna hear about it. After all noobs are the pros of tomorrow.
