Split up the chat messages Even before we had 64 player servers the chat messages were very crowded. So I suggest to split up the messages on the screen. -Commander messages on top of the screen (because most important) -System messages below normal chat messages in a smaller font -Normal messages will stay Pro: -Commander messages will be become more visible-Chat will be better readable and players don't have to spam messages Con: -HUD will be more crowded Example (the system messages of course should only appear once, but was to lazy to photoshop it): PS: And don't say that players should use a mic. Some don't want or can't use a mic. And we have already much mic spam.
HUD things aren't hard, just a crapload complicated... Umm..there's been several suggestions about this...move sys messaegs to a seperate cornar.
seems nice,although i would prefer if you use the dead space in the hud where your weapon is now (you dont need to look at left under corner for nothing, weapon is in the way etc) so i suggest moving system messages there in favour of a lower profile chat box/longer chat box for more memory
Don't a lot of Source and HL games have that sort of server thing where admin chat appears in the middle of the screen? So why not a separate comm-channel then?
