Chatting from the Consle

Fri Apr 11, 2003 11:13 pm by Sudden Death

When running FLserver and chatting with people through the consle, I could not see anyone else's text. Is there a way to enable viewing of other people's messages or am I stuck with this one-way communication?

Chatting from the Console can be done in one of three ways (or all at the same time if you're so inclined).

CHAT w/universe: Sends server wide messages. Console can only see replies if they are done by players hitting enter and arrowing up until you see Console and typing in their message. Players see WHITE text from the Console ingame.
CHAT w/system: You can chat with everyone in a particular system. Everyone in that system can chat with everyone else including the Console if they make it a system wide chat. This is indicative of the BLUE color of text ingame.
CHAT w/player: You can have a one on one conversation with one player but they have to hit enter and arrow up until they see Console to reply. This is indicative of the GREEN text ingame.

Thanks for clearing that up for me... I guess everyone was too stupid to hit the up arrow and talk to the consle...
