Hello there

Nice game until now, but something I'm definitely missing is a chat in Multiplayer.

Most people use full-screen-mode, which makes impossible for some to switch to a chatwindow quickly enough.

I think there should be a chat ingame, not only in the "meeting room" when establishing connection...

Just an idea...

Best regards and greets from Switzerland

It's an old idea, many times mentioned on this forum. You may chat in game console, which is shown by pressing ` key. It's simple and quite bad implementation, but you may chat.

Hello

Okay, got that. In fact depending on the country and on the keyboard-layout, the character ` doesn't exist. For the Switzerland-Layout for example, the ` isn't working.

We though set another character directly in the source-code. Friends and me are now trying to implement a chat-function ourselves... As soon as we've got something, we'll send you the source.

Regards

Your sarcasm isn't appropriate. I'm the only one who codes hedgewars engine, and every feature has a preference to others. I choose whether to implement either teleportation or chat now, either hedgehog switching or chat, either chat or something else. Do you prefer to play game with chat and almost no weapons, and tons of bugs?

Hello

No... A buggy game with no weapons is never fun... But I think a chat is absolutely necessary... That's why we are trying to implement it ourselves and then send you the code when it's done, just to take you away some work...

Don't let get yourself down with comments like that one :o) You're doing a damn great job, and I think that the game has a status with which it's really playable.

Thanks and best regards...
