mzajc Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 It's already possible to move while typing - hold a directional key (W, A, S, or D), then press your chat keybind and start typing. Your character will keep moving in the same direction as long as you hold the directional key, but you won't be able to change it nor will you be able to use the directional key in your message (since you're holding it, and releasing it brings your character to a stop). While not ideal, this still comes in handy when chasing people or generally avoiding having to stop to type while walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would appreciate being able to shift+ctrl+arrow to select that one word I mistyped. Still, not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzajc Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Not sure if this is an effect of playing on Linux or replacing the GLFW library with Debian's (since textboxes fail to work at all with the bundled one), but I'm able to select text just fine, shortcuts included (eg. shift+ctrl+arrow): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threg Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I reckon that TTS would be a fun and interesting thing to have ingame. I'd love to have it for rp, as being able to choose a voice that suits your characters the best would be a great way to expand on their personalities and overall identity.

Del Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Deleted my previous post because I'm stoopid. I CAN ctrl+shift+arrow. What I can't do is Ctrl+A (irrelevant, now that you can just press escape to erase written dialogue) and Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V (probably by design, and a good thing).

Jaid Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 for voice chat, mumble has positional audio plugin built in If you could implement that into a server, and into mumble it would be crisp and clear without having any load onto the server itself. Albeit, at probably like 20$ a month for the mumble server (not too sure how much they cost nowadays) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevKev Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I feel like proximity chat would either be insanely fun or an absolute nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WYCI Moving while typing: You could create a user option to just enable arrow keys while typing (you would have to disable moving the cursor with them though) WYCI Selectable Text: Pretty sure this one already exists if not WYCI Clickable Links: If you mean clickable hyperlinks, that's a major security vulnerability. Since people can use malicious URLs to download files or phish for info (such as logins). Maybe with some link masking and warnings but still, kinda risky. If you mean linking to the wiki or ingame items like WOW or some MMOS? WYCI Text to speech + Sounds To Text: We'd need to use a library for this but I don't see why we couldn't add this for accessibility. WYCI TLDR: Most of this is definitely doable but no one has been actively working on any of these. If someone wants to give it a shot some of these could be an easy-ish first code PR.
