New chat positioning blends with server messages
Not having the chat in the middle of the screen is great, but when there is a lot of activity both in chat, and in server messages, the two kind of blend together. It would be great to have one (or two) chat lines worth of empty space separating the two, so that server messages don't flow into chat, and the other way around, making it easier to read both.

Re: New chat positioning blends with server messages
I have been playing with the new chat position for the past week already and never had issues with it. However I think admins could reduce the map vote message timer to spam the chat a bit less. There is little need to have it popup every 10seconds now.

Re: New chat positioning blends with server messages
In the past past you had to show the map vote messages often as it quickly got pushed of screen. Now with the empty message spam removed it stays way longer on the screen so the map vote messages become the main spam. Most servers have set the interval to 10seconds, I guess 20 or even 30 seconds would be fine now.

Re: New chat positioning blends with server messages
Still it makes it incredibly harder to quickly check things out.
lts just a huge wall of text and its hard to quickly distinguish server messages from Chat leading to a greater amount of time just trying to find out if a team kill was actually intentional or reports and so on. I would never trade not having to press Page Up if its what its referring to than being able to quickly check Server stuff without having to look for stuff its simply not piratical at all. Rarely do I ever complain about changes but this is by far the worst one made Admin side, just horrible it made everything so much more difficult especially if you couldnt check a report in the moment (ex: you are in a firefight and you can only check the Command Log 2min later) it makes just wanting to ignore and not to deal with the report deep down. Would love to see at least 1-2 line of distance, the current change made checking stuff a pain in the ass. Im honestly amazed there arent more people mentioning this. |

Re: New chat positioning blends with server messages
I guess this is off topic but, the change to the character limit seems like a heavy change for a small problem. I get people complain about the chat (45-year-old single dads(I'm sure you know who I am referring to)) in the middle of their screens but they could just not... look. It isn't that hard. The change doesn't seem to have any pros, in my opinion, only cons. Admins can't communicate with each other or players in one message but instead, have to flood the screen with multiple messages with !r or !s. Warnings can't be descriptive, and when dealing with newer players longer warnings are typically used. I and I imagine others would love for this change to be reversed, or at least have the character limit increased from what it currently is.

Re: New chat positioning blends with server messages
Moving the chat spam out of the middle of the screen, probably one of my most favorite changes in PR!

I only know that I know nothing. Só sei que nada sei. Sólo sé que no sé nada. So solo di non sapere nulla. Tantum scio me nihil scire. Je sais seulement que je ne sais rien. Tiedän vain, etten tiedä mitään. Ich weiss nur dass ich nichts weiss. Ek weet net dat ek niks weet nie. Wiem tylko, ?e nic nie wiem. Heoi ko ahau anake e mohio ana kahore au e mohio. Ngiyazi kuphela ukuthi angazi lutho.
