Is it possible to be able to go back and review a history of let's say ten last tells, chats, and question? This doesn't make sense for IC channels, but ooc channels would be nice.

I agree this could often be helpful.

I've seen a system in other games where typing "tell" without an argument would do just that: display the last 30 tells or so. Maybe 30 is too much, but ten would be a reasonable amount, I'd think. There was a similar function with the chat command, as well.

For those that are using the soundpack for VIPMud, you have the power of buffers, provided you are using one of the supported screen-readers.

Press alt left and alt right to navigate through the buffers, and alt 1 through alt 0 to review the last ten messages placed there. Note that the buffers, at this time, don't clear on logging out and back in. So for example if you received 1 tell yesterday, when you log in today, it will still be there.

I will also make sure the readme of the pack is updated to include this. I probably forgot to origionally.

When I do alt one etc it tells me nothing is set in the buffer, and doing alts together don't seem to do anything, and if I just do an alt by itself it is the file menu.

What screenreader are you using?

tell recent
Showing the 10 most recent tells:

[FROM Otarij (OOC)]: Blah 5
[FROM Otarij (OOC)]: Blah 6
[FROM Otarij (OOC)]: Blah 7
[FROM Otarij (OOC)]: Blah 8
[FROM Otarij (OOC)]: Blah 9
[FROM Otarij (OOC)]: Blah 10
[FROM Otarij (OOC)]: Blah 13
[FROM Otarij (OOC)]: Blah 14
[FROM Otarij (OOC)]: Blah 15
[FROM (a player) (OOC)]: Oh, sorry.

Don't ask me what happened to 11 and 12, it was scary.

And before everyone asks, this will not be expanded to include chat, question, or esp. Sorry. Too much stuff for the server to keep track of.

Thanks, big J!

Very cool, thanks J.

Very awesome

What happened to 11 and 12? I want to know if I should be wary of 10 and 13.

Well actually, I was using the list.pop() method to remove the oldest tells from the list, but I forgot to set the optional argument for the index, so it was removing the most recent tells from the list instead.

I love this! Always wanted something similar.

Actually, for IC channels, it makes as much or even more sense as for OOC.

Often we lagout or disconnect during a say or esp discussion, our character heard what was said or esp'd, but it never made it to the player's screen.

Thanks Jirato!
