  • Make transparent messages either clientside or web-serverside ( Fading on chat close etc )
  • Work on GWEN Skin that it uses - Eg Isolate the skin so that any changes only effect the Chat.
  • Change Teams to use Player Manager - And use appropriate race colors
  • Fix scrolling to scroll as normal w/o visible bars
  • Change location of elements to improve visuals
  • Location of text input either moved, or length of the chat box extended downwards
  • Change width of chatbox when scrollbars show up
  • Move / Align whole chatbox to match padding of normal HUD elements
  • Change size of chatbox to be slightly smaller and possibly scale to UI size.
  • Fix the 'x' button not calling close chat properly
  • Fix the team tab to show messages from team automatically without chat refresh
  • Fading from ALL chat applied to TEAM chat messages on that tab.
  • Color the [ TEAM ] Labels appropriate to team
  • Add indicator to let user know when they are typing to ALL or just TEAM
  • Prevent team say concmd as that uses teams and not player manager
  • Try to get text input background transparent ( use draw if required! )
  • Add very transparent dark grey background for chat to improve visability ( on chat open or all time ? )
  • NEW: Highlight backdrop will show even after text disappears
  • NEW: Text can still disappear/fade out when you have chat open typing more messages :/

Note that right now all of the chat files are on my personal fork because awilliamson(radon) doesn't want it in the repo til its perfect, hence making this a bit confusing.

All done, except I haven't changed anything in the GWEN skin as I have no idea what you would want.

Not closed as it actually isn't added, please don't confuse your fork with the official repo

Chat is now added in the official repo, original issue updated with things still left to do.

Instead of having a grey background, make the text have a black shadow. That will improve readability a lot.

It currently does that, but depending on background readability actually decreases! So I don't know, a bit of fiddling will be required. Generally just any background based solution to improve readability is required, whether that be a text shadow or full back shadow.
