Console tex entry box doesnt wrap long text

[beherith]

And this is ugly :)

I don't know if this is possible (its a fake textbox hiding behind engines usual console input)

[Bluestone]

Probably the way to fix this is entirely disable ingame console and lua-ify a textbox to type into but I think chili has issues with this atm

[Bluestone]

I can't see a way to disable the engine "Say: " dialogue

We would also lose some autocompletion features of the console.

I actually did this once, but there were more cons then I felt like dealing with at the time. It's doable if the widget returns false in widget:keypress() ( or true, can't remember how that works).

How about by default users will use the text box, but if needed Spring's can be enabled, for debugging purposes etc..

As far as I know chili's textbox can do anything required by a user, which is basically just chatting. With this I'd also like add a dropdown to select who you wish to see your messages, maybe even that debug option..

This isn't possible afaik; if you send a chat message then it is recieved by (spec|allyteam|all) clients as appropriate (of course it can be filtered further by not displaying some msgs on the screen by default, but they are still there and put into demo/infolog). There is already "ignore" functionality implemented in the playerlist and integrated to the console.

Well, that's all I was really talking about. Selection between those 3, with allyteam being default. Are PMs possible?

Otherwise it would be entirely possible with basic lobby integration (at some point).

Yes: "/w <playername> pm" will send a 'whisper'. But it's not truly a whisper since it passes through the host on its way.
