Forgive me if this has been mentioned or discussed before in the forums, I didn't see any threads or topics about it but of course I am terrible at finding things.
Upon two or more mapmakers collaborating with each other and communicating in the chat, I have seen two main things:
•The other players complain and tell the mapmakers to just msg each other, which is tedious to type in /msg or even /r for those of you who are at the level of laziness I occupy.
•The mapmakers themselves complain about how there is no easy way to talk to each other without everybody else hearing them.
So, what I propose is a local chat channel. I'm sure many of you have heard of it, but some of you haven't so I will explain it.
A local chat channel is a channel that allows messages said by a certain player reach the players that are within a certain distance of the speaker. Beyond that, nobody sees the message spoken. For example, say the local channel allowed a circle with a radius of 5 around the player. A player within that circle could hear it. But the messages would be nonexistent for someone standing outside that circle, like 6 blocks away. Think of the solitude chat system, except it is completely and wholly visible until you are outside the radius. If you are confused by that comparison, completely disregard it. Hopefully you get what I mean.
I think that a local chat is a necessity that this server has failed to obtain so far, either because it was hard to put in or because it simply wasn't thought of, or some other reason. Just a personal suggestion now: if we were to include this in the server, I would personally think dark green is a more #swagmoneyyolo color for the local chat.
Thank you!
