Ulrih Report post Posted July 26, 2006 I think most of the guild use the #gms for normal every-day chat and I really miss the TC-EL way of sending guild messages by typeing ";;". So, my suggestion is to reduce the need of using hard-to-type game commands. To send a guild message on my keyboard (US) I need to press "Shift+3",g,m - and I'm doing it very very often. Making a ";;" shortcut would be much more comfortable, and might reduce the "3gm" mistakes when someone misses the Shift button. Of course there are different keyboard layouts, and i.e. on German one the "#" is accesible without the "Shift" key. On some keybs the semicolon is accesible without the need of pressing "Shift" (US, Canadian, Brazil, UK, Dvorak, Greek, Bulgarian), on others the "shift" is required to type it, but even though, using "Shift+,," might be easier than "Shift+3",g,m". The "#", "G" and "M" keys arent very close to eachother as well. Anyway, a possibility to send gms without the need of entering the hard-reacheable hash (#) symbol, or without the "#gm" would be great. I guess making these commands customisable might be hard, but I'd like it very much. Maybe there might be also another possibility to talk in channels than pressing "shift+2" (US keyb) or some other combination to enter the "@" symbol.

ttlanhil Report post Posted July 26, 2006 If the powers that be want it in I will happily make the patch (after all I made the patch in the first place )I'm wondering if the commands (including @, #gm, etc) could be in a config file, similar to how key.ini is used... if so, it'd be easy to change stuff, and people with different keyboard layouts may have a far easier timethat's more work, of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway a simple patch with alternate (not replacement) "#gm" would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirdan Report post Posted July 27, 2006 a double keystroke for ig would be nice too i hate it when i type #ig and forget to put the guild tag in or do #gm instead:P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted July 27, 2006 a double keystroke for ig would be nice too i hate it when i type #ig and forget to put the guild tag in or do #gm instead:P just #ig, or #ig-last-guild like // does? the second would probably be quite handy, considering the number of guilds that use symbols and such (which takes longer to type in) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is in the Shift so making a new command with shift doesnt solve anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
