Cantr II Discussion Forum

Would it be possible to make that long narrow box just a couple of lines wider? When you're typing a long message it's easy to get mixed up and hard to proofread. Plus I think most people are more comfortable scrolling up and down than side to side.

Though if this is ever implemented it would probably be best to make it an option, so people can choose which one they prefer.

I do like this, that we I will know how long my chars speech will be before they say it

Good idea

If you're going to make a long post, you really should be doing so in notepad while logged out, as to not waste minutes.

However, I can understand that if you're a fast typer, you don't bother (I know I don't, and I save pleanty of time, so I type in game without notepad)

So, essentially, I have to agree. Plus, the players do as well.

I'm moving this to ACCEPTED until Programming Department deems it otherwise (Since they'd have to implement it...)

Excellent

Could we also change this on the person-to-person page when a character is "whispering" to another character? That's when I find I need it most.

Thanks!!

Hey! I wanted to make this exact same suggestion. But before I made another post, I searched... and LO! Here it is!

It is my favorite suggestion.

I love this idea! I can get quite wordy and I'm a fast typist so this is great! Please, please, please implement this--for both the Events page and the Person to Person page.

Thank you. Carry on...

Yep, its a good idea. I'm not a great typer and it'd be nice to see the typos at the start of my sentence.

This would look very ugly.

It would, unless the layout is changed.
At the moment the text box fits the margins of the page, if it extended beyond that it's look strange, and might not fit a smaller res screen.

On that note, how far is the progress on shifting the Cantr pages to css stylesheets?

Well if it was just optional like she suggested than it wouldn't matter if it was ugly. MAybe if you could just click a button to drop the box down th erest of the way, and then after you said whatever and the page reloaded it went back to normal?

Anyway, I like the idea too. Right now it's easy to screw up what you're typing, there's been several times when I accidentally cut part of a sentence off by copy and pasting, since it looked like the whole thing was highlighted when it was actually just the visible part.

Not well I have to admit... but it is going to be changed cause we found a new concept how to acheive code and HTML separation.

I mentioned this before, no one listened *sighs* hehe.

On this subject, i hate it the cursor in this talkbox starts activated as the eventpage is loaded. Usually im navigating events and need to hit End or PageDown.
