Yo, question time from me.

Is there a way to disable and enable all chat in a map? I'm working on a survival/orpg game with a mode that seperates the players into two teams, and I'd like it better if they couldn't communicate in this mode. Thx in advance if it can or can't be done
 
it can be done but probably not the way you'd like it to. if you've played defiance, thats a chat system that can be turned on - off since it uses game messages. to completely remove the chat like defiance, it takes configuring something in the interface, I remember seeing a tutorial on this too, ill try to find it.

found it, (actually its easy) but not as good as something just like Chat- Hide Chat for all Players /blizzard missed out on some good functions
 
well, this isnt really a helpfull post but people generally dont chat between teams unless its to taunt the other team which I never dislike :p

Im guessing what you want is to remove the "all" section and leave in the "allies" chat only, not sure if you can do that so I guess this isnt a very constructive post :)
 
nah thx guys thats what i needed to hear. I didn't want to waste too much time on it so if it is that complicated i wont worry bout it. I just thought it would cut out the chance of people ruining games coz of infighting (always a problem in survival maps) and add to the theme of feeling alone. I'll give that a shot cleez. Cheers!

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
