GUI: Player chat suggestion

Unread post by Herisheft »

Small suggestion but can really make life a bit less annoying. I saw that on other server and it worked really well. I don't know technically how hard it is though :)
As visible on the image, DMs(MG) and Party(D) members are brought on top of the chat box's list and they have diffrent colours.

That was really comfortable, and you didn't had to scroll all the list to check if DM is present, or when you wanted to whisper via pm something to a party member really quick :)

That's a custom player list interface, looks pretty cool, can you describe in detail how it works?

How often does it refresh? What does that icon on top represent ?

I guess it was refreshed each time somebody logged in, and DMs(blue) were automatically brought up on top of the list and stay there for all time, same was for party(green) members. They were always on top, even if new people were logging in.
That small icon was to hide your name in chatbox list. Worked pretty well for those who wanted to stay totally undetected.

We also had small "dialog clouds" floating above character's head when a person was typing something. :)
