[Dev] New Chat Widget & Macro Palette
[Dev] New Chat Widget & Macro Palette
Liking the new display! :o It won't change a ton, but it's sure nice to see a slight change to the UI I've been staring at for years. Cure V macro won't have to be CurV. "The hell is a--You mean a 'curve?' ...Oh, right. Cure V."

That chat box change would be acceptable if we were able to move other parts of the UI into the empty space. Even so, it takes up so much screen :\
It's gonna be very nice for windower addons!
Can finally have recast in a spot where it wont be in the way of anything, if we can make the chatbox like that
meh I have my recast positioned to the right of the spell menu. isn't in the way of anything and is easy to read there.

What would need to be done to actually upgrade from 360p to 720p (or w/e they call it that sony requires companies to convert to before they can move to the PS3, it was said in one of the many PS2 threads).
Would the actual texture and everything need to be upgraded, or could it simply be done with the UI being changed and upgraded?

I might like the new chat widget.
But it's possible to position yourself so the chat widget will totally occlude your character.

i still vote they should make two chat logs next to each other
one for game informations
and one for chat (/s /l /p /sh defined by user)
that way important communication does not get lost when there is a incoming kill information flood from the blu mage CW burning TE's
off cause that would be most useful for hires ppl.
its just sad to see 33%-50% of the chatlog never gets used when you are on 1900x1200 display
oh and a quick setting that only give you game information about you ally and mobs engaged by ally and nothing else ( cause i really don't need to see that other group over there casting protect and 6 lines about ppl getting the effect and again flooding the chatlog)
and why cant the game put those 6 lines together to one line naming all the character instead of 1 line per character, since it is comming from the same source.
so many ways they could have improved the chatlog usefull and we get this....

I'm hoping that update doesn't create massive problems with Windower... but I'm sure it will... Inc week with no windower when this comes out. HOW WILL WE LIVE.
And I agree with Gaiarorshack, multiple definable chat log (I hate to say it, but WoW style) would be *** amazing.

All they have to do now is allow us to equip multiple linkpearls with each having their own chat log tab!
Ohh wait that is another game.

As long as they make sure to allow individuals to make their own preference on the chat log (like make it adjustable).
It will be an update worthwhile (personally I liked the screen wide chat log at the base).

I thought they said this was on the test server. I can't get it to work.

We weren’t able to launch this onto the Test Server this week, but we will be implementing it sometime next week. I hope you’re all looking forward to it!

The developers have secretly been working on a new chat widget for Windows and Xbox 360 that will allow you to adjust the number of lines and width of the box. This will also be implemented onto the test server next week, so please try it out!
My bad, I completely missed that.
Macro palette still covers status icons, though?
i want the new chat widget...and i want it now D:
