Spammy chat

[Shantta[RO]]

Since we got 90 player slots, and a lot more players doing a lot more missions, the chat screen is really spammy. It's hard really to follow a conversation in peak hours.

My suggestion is to get rid of the "X delivered Y from A to B" piece of text that is francly useless if you ask me. This eighter should be removed all together or it could be added in /settings so some players can enable it and some can disable it.

This would really fix this problem totally.

just make the chat longer i dont remember the cmd

/page size 10-20. Depending on the lines.

As for the suggestion, i agree with it, and also an option to set the following:
-Players Chat.
-Players Deliveries/Arrests/Steals etc.
But you wouldnt be able to turn off announcements, (shop/admin) or the random blue messages.

if a conversation your having is hard to follow, get teamspeak/vent/skype and talk rather than type it. or simply change CBs

At least we have CB radios, so some players go use different channels.

[TheSandman]

At least we do, but people dont use them as often some would like.
Major example: Big events, races etc. Its hard getting say, 20+ people into one CB channel, let alone as convoy to do a countdown timer.

[Shantta[RO]]

Yes, but I am talking about the quantity of screen information. Even if you are in a /cb channel, it still gets spammed by messages that people don't really need to know:
Officer X arrested Y
X delivered Y from A to B

I for one don't need to know this and prefer to leave my chat box clear of these. If I could have that in settings, it would be perfect, and I believe (or I like to) that a lot of people are in my situation.

+1 those messages are useless. You should at least make the option to filter the chat. To decide what kind of information we get in it. from PM-s to announcements and deliveries

[Ethan]

so you want a cb channel or something that exclusively shows your chat thats in a cb?

[HeLiOn_PrImE]

I was suggesting a filtering menu, but I guess your idea is easier to make, so yeah .

[Joshy]

It's a good suggestion. Might take a while to script though.

yeah, we cant read any full sentence in mainchat without doing page up, but then we lag behind, because our reading speed is less with respect  to mainchat
something has to be done about the spammy chat... maybe making those missions invisible to others, and we can view things only which we dilevered

or

making more strict rules regarding mainchat, like making it compulsory to use cb channels

[[GER]Melissa]

I agree, its a good idea, especially if u are able to turn on and turn of this informations.
In my opinion it isnt really necessary to see, who finished a mission if he isnt in your convoy.

CB channels are your friend.

[Shantta[RO]]

CB channels are your friend.

People really need to read the whole topic not just the first post. As I said before, it's all about the quantity of screen information. If there are a lot of people, therefore a lot of deliveries, even in CB channels, you still get a spammy chatbox because people deliver lots of stuff and the text goes by quick. CB channels don't change much.

Use /page then

[HeLiOn_PrImE]

Use /page then

If you mean /pagesize, I'm telling you, that doesn't solve a thing. I once had my 20 row chat filled by delivery messages. People are sick searching for their discussion messages using page buttons. If we get something urgent we shouldn't have to search the chat for it.

Mick, you should also disable the messages from channel 19 when we are NOT in it (keep the text above the player if they are around us, and the admin messages or announcements). And if someone wants to speak to us, they should send us a pm or join our cb. That is how it should normally work.
