The first thing I noticed after testing.
1. Chat kills HUD NewNet (timer and anti-gravity boots)
2. Can you make it so that can highlight and copy (Ctrl-C) messages from the chat window?
3. Can you make the emoji's always appear, regardless of the end of the sentence and so that they can be turned off (bemoji=True/False)?
4. Can you make links clickable in the chat window?

[ProAsm]

Hi asosed, well in answer to your questions.
1. Has been fixed.
2. A HUD does not recognize keystrokes etc so I added a save option in the menu so you can save the whole of the chatlog on your pc.
4. I will look into this but I doubt it.
3. This can be done but would be very time consuming as the code would have to check every character in a message instead of just the last 2.
Also the placing of the image midstream would be difficult because when the lines scroll up, it would be difficult to see where these inline images need to go.
Currently we'll skip this but I will fiddle with it and see if I can find a shortcut somewhere

I've set UTChat as an ServerActor recently instead of a mutator in my 63 gametype configs.
All works fine, but i noticed on gametypes where i run SmartSB, UTChat gets replaced by it.
This results into the normal chathud in game, although !chat menu can be loaded.

Could there something be done about this you think ?
When i run this as extra mutator, the HUD is replaced correctly, only its loaded 2 times cause of the actor ofcourse.
If it's better to run as Mutator only i'll just reverse to that.

Code: Select all

HudType = SmartSB102s.SmartSBHudTeam | OldHud = UTChat17c.UTChatHudTM | ScoreBoard = SmartSB102s.SmartSBScoreBoard | MaxPlayers = 32 | ServerInfo = SmartSB102s.SmartSBServerInfo
UTChat: OriginalHUDClass = CTF4.CTF4HUD | Current HUD = UTChat17c.UTChatHudTM | ServerInfo = Botpack.ServerInfoTeam | bShowChatMessages = True

HudType = SmartSB102s.SmartSBHudTeam | OldHud = UTChat17c.UTChatHudTM | ScoreBoard = SmartSB102s.SmartSBScoreBoard | MaxPlayers = 32 | ServerInfo = SmartSB102s.SmartSBServerInfo

[ProAsm]

Oops, sorry for the late reply but been a bit busy with 102t which has a massive update
I found running as a Mutator works best and I too have found strange things happen with UTChat.
However, I found it depends a lot in where you load UTChat.
I run my test server as follows.
Mutator=SmartSB102s.SmartSB,UTCmds7.UTCmds,UTChat17c.UTChat

Yeah, i also got it at the end of the mutatorstring.
No issues when it's there, but indeed only when it's ran as ServerActor on a gametype where SmartSB is active.
The result is that the HUD ain't visible, but UTChat is active when running !chat.
Somehow only when it's set as actor it's getting replaced by SmartSB. (Actor is also set as last)

In UTChat18 I have added a ServerActor class which seems to have solved your problem.

ServerActors=UTChat18.UTChatActor

Great news, thanks in advance.
If it won't bother you;

Would it be possible to have these variables set server-sided as well?;
bNoEmoticons
bSmallFonts

(Or maybe all the variables on the config window)
Motivation for the request is that my preference would be no emoticons disabled, with smallfonts by default.
Experience learns it's the first thing players do, personally not a fan of them, but that's personal ofcourse

[Que]

bNoEmoticons
bSmallFonts

Personal?. Open UTChat and disable them by saying !chat

Done.

bNoEmoticons
bSmallFonts

Done.

Server-sided is the request > simplified > Meaning the ability to set them true/false by default for all players.

Server-sided is the request > simplified > Meaning the ability to set them true/false by default for all players.

This could be a problem as most the settings are clientside as the options are personal.
If I make the options serverside then I must remove them from the client.
Surely its the players choice what he wants to see and not the admin to tell him what to do.
Currently bNoEmoticons are serverside and I have made the bSmallFonts=True as default.

Ah i see, that's unfortunate.
If it's not possible to keep client- and serversided, the player should keep their freedom of setting it by them selfs indeed.
Experience learned that alot of players asked to change to smallfonts, and disable the emoticons.
My thinking was to prevent this, by changing the default values.
