Command Announcement Change

Post by NoahKirchner » 19 Jan 2017, 23:54

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Change how you can structure command announcements.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Allows COs to make more atmospheric command announcements, like mother reports instead of sentences.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Give the command announcement typing box the same one that the queen has so you get some verticality to it.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding

Ok so you know how when you make a command announcement you get a little, one character tall bar to type in, like you were typing using "T" in hotkey mode? I am suggesting to change that little one character tall bar to the queen's huge box to type in which allows her to make "vertical" messages which would be a lot more useful for a commander.

Ah, I was trying to understand before making a reply. This would and could help the XO or CO to give a better spellchecked and ah, a better text In general. I mean, why not. +1

No, I have no idea what you are talking about. I get the large box.

Command announcements are a small one-line textbox, the suggestion is to change this to a larger multiline textbox which is more then doable by simply switching a proc around.

Queen have "big box's" to write the message. Like this one In the forums. The CO only have a line to write, meaning that he can't really see what he wrote after the first line. Example


CO box= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Just a full line that continues, like the one you write your name In the character setup]




Queen box:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
