Archived Chat Feature

Hello! My idea is fairly simple. A lot of players use slashes to put emphasis on certain words, to show sarcasm etc in Roleplay, IE "Oh yea that is a /great/ idea.."

It could be helpful to de-clutter chat and make it look more professional if when double slash was used, the words inside of it were made Italic.

Example: "That is a /great/ idea.." would become "That is a great idea.."

It has the same general effect- emphasizing the word the RP'er wanted to, but it looks much cleaner and doesn't feel as OOC.

Thats all for now, its a quickie lol .

I like the idea a lot! Its simple and it would help the realistic chat of roleplay.

Another potential addition to this might be making things inside of " ' s normal text. That way when players to emotes with dialogue, IE " he sighed "Oh well, we cant always have things our way" he sipped his Brunnoss slowly+ it would show as: he sighed "Oh well, we cant always have things our way" he siped his Brunnoss slowly.

Its related to the original so I figured I would throw it here too.

I like these ideas, and as far as my knowledge goes they shouldn't be too hard.
Only problem I see is the staff's priority, which wouldn't likely be on this unfortunately.

Bump because I still like this idea all these months later.

 

[Kaezir]

Simple. I like it. I do however feel if the effort was put into this, to add other coding. Such as words between *'s would be bolded or words between ^'s would be smaller. Etc.

 

[Legoclub22]

What if you could just use the /f title codes in chat? Maybe minus the color.

 

[CptSilvyrall]

I support this idea.. when people speak but putting quotes around their italic message it's harder to read.

words between ^'s would be smaller.

Pretty sure this part isn't possible.

I love the idea!

You use this <?> to indicate sarcasm/irony. It's like an upside down question mark, just no one uses this because it's an unknown punctuation mark.

I don't think this will help anything, but just wanting to throw that out.

I dont see why this isnt implemented already..

Also, the italic can interfere with emoting as for emoting uses italic.

Multiple functions can use italic. In the instance of using it in an emote it would probably just do nothing given its already italic.
