Can, by default, the chat in the editor be separated from when your actually playing a hold? I mean, have a /play and /edit and a /general(which receives messages and send messages to both) and have when playing a room go to /play, editor for /edit, and when your in the chatroom /general. to navigate between them, you would of course go /general or whatever.

It's just that I'm getting all the chat from the editor when playing, and not only is it a tad annoying, but it's chock full of spoilers, and there's not a lot they can do to help that.

Apparently, Schik is already working on it.

How about a specifically /nospoilers chat also? I have mixed feelings about the chat right now because of this whole spoilyness thing... its interesting, but sort of too revealing. I'd be more upset if someone started dropping plot points though than elements.

I mentioned that very idea in Chat last night: a general DROD Chat place with no spoilers of any kind allowed, no requests for help with rooms and so on, and then a specific in-game Chat place for those who do want to talk about TCB in detail.

I wonder if then if it is technically possible to have a seperate window open to general Chat whilst playing the game.

(If that is what you just said NiroZ, my apologies - I didn't understand the bit with all those slashes.) :~(

Similar, but not the same.

Problem is that the two are intertwined. You can't have a conversation about, say... the slayer without having JtRH spoilers.

You mean like different channels open at the same time?

I presume Elfstone means like being able to play DROD in one window on your desktop, with another window displaying the chat. Assuming this is what you mean, I second that request!

Ah, in other words a full on IRC channel.

Does converting it to a windowed system suddenly turn it into a 'full on' IRC channel? It is already, essentially - I'm just agitatin' for a usability improvement.

Yes! that's what I meant; I'm just not very good at the technical explanation of things.

actually, yeah, I'd like it in a separate draggable window, because it makes the editor like grwawrgh.
