Title: Private messages :-?
Post by: Asas1n on November 08, 2007, 03:24:36 PM
How to I send private messages to other player? i mean to a player of the other team, but i would like that only he could read it, like a secret message :]

this is not implemented in q3 or ioq3 or openarena iirc
if you are a modder you can take a look at tremulous source code

in setup/controls/misc you can set binds for "chat", "chat team", "chat target", "chat attacker". i don't know how to last two works as i've never tried them.

Chat target works in the following way (and this is what Assasin wants):
You simply point your cross-hair at the player you want to talk to, then you press the 'chat target' key while he/she is still in your sight, then simply type a message as you would normally do. Then this player is the only one that can see this message, no-one else will.

Chat attacker works in the same way but is restricted to enemy opponents only.

oh, i see. are these colourcoded as well, or does it say in text that it was addressed just to me?

They have a different color, just as the say_team function..
