Implemented Couple of Chat Suggestions

hi it me


Often times players need to type out their coords which takes time especially if they are fighting. My suggestion is to add a command (/cords) or (/tl) as seen on some HCF servers.
Another idea I had is to create a party chat system on Loka. Currently there is no good way to talk to people across continents without pming multiple people or using discord. I suggest adding a party chat system in which any player can be added to in order to ease communications. For example if I want to talk to sigmaflash (i hate sigmaflash) , fataldeath, and jakeman and who are all spread across different continents and towns I could type (/party add [name]) to add them all to a party chat for the time being. A concern of this is that some players may be spammed with these party chats if they get added to multiple chats but a way to prevent this is to let them be in only one party chat.

why violate jakeman5, like i understand sigmaflash, also why violate fataldeath?? anyhows good day
 
Definitely for the party chat, sort of spoke about it in an LCR meeting a month or so back. Would be a good opportunity to begin rolling out GUIs in more places and would be a really good change. It would also be nice for parties to continue to exist even when you log off and back on again, I could see myself using it like this and I would imagine others would too. I think something else to look into for chat would be showing the current chat channel you're in on tab so that you don't have to make sure you're in the correct chat. Something else to look into is allowing for hex codes to be used for titles in the various chat's we've got as they would allow you to sync up colors nicer.

Something else worth looking into would be to allow you to click on the link in chat to someone's coordinates and auto-generate a dynmap link to that specific location. If you look here, you'll see that it takes you to the tgen of my town. This is done via editing the coordinate variables that are set in the URL itself and this would vastly improve /here as well as the coordinate linking.
