chat log

[OutRun]

Hi all , i don't know if i'm on the right place . for BA .

Is it possible programmers include an open/close chat window ( like in the mmoprh ) ? Sometimes lines roll too fast , so like this we could open for extend the chat log to read what was said .

Thanks .

a chatlog is already included in BA, the widget name is "Red Console" (enabled by default if, not press F11)
move mouse over the chat area and it shows possible hotkeys in tooltip at bottom.
chat history = ctrl (+mousewheel to scroll)

If you mean a really long chatlong (like some mmorpg use) then it seems it is planned that one can adjust number of chatlines of "history" mode (CTRL key) in config file. But looks like loading this config is not implented yet, so changing it there has no effect.
( http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/trac/balates ... e.lua#L756 )

But you can download that file, save it to your spring\LuaUI\widgets\ folder and change the line
maxlinesScrollmode = 10,
to
maxlinesScrollmode = 20,
(for example)
buuuuuuuuut then you might have problems in future when BA gets updated.

Hold control and mouse wheel scroll over the window, to see earlier chat. Or there is infolog.txt, which records everything from the previous game.

(I realize this is not quite what you were asking for.)
