Title: Alerts and Lobby Chat
Post by: Chuckie Chuck on December 11, 2010, 18:51
It would be nice to have a little more control in the lobby, for the lobby to function even while in a game.  Most the time, I miss what's happening in the lobby during a game, seems that needs improvement, also being able to pop out the chat so you can see lobby and game at the same time, or rearrange the windows within the program.

Also, a way to page lurkers, make an alert pop up on top of other windows when a game is created, forcable paging sounds?

Make a chat space in full screen mode.

Awesome suggestions! 

I particularly would like to see a space for chat in full screen mode.  I end up missing so much chat because i prefer to play in full screen.

We've heard these requests before, and it may turn up eventually, but at the moment it's not prioritized.

Have you considered using a second nic in a second window to show lobby chat on a second monitor or on spare space on the primary monitor?

No, but I'll try that.  Seems like I tried something like that once, but not without a different nick, I think the game engine notices when you try to log in from the computer computer more than once even using different nick names though, and it's recognized as an attempt at exploiting and abusing the game.
