In game Private message
« on: September 28, 2014, 07:54:41 AM »
When you get sent a PM in game it would be nice to be able to click on the PM in the tex buffer or a .pm command and it opens a new window in the radio to send one back.

There is a dot command, .r maybe? That directs the message to the last person that sent you a text.

.r has not been working for me at least 6 months now. I end up having to .p playerID to respond to PM.

I use .r a lot, and have had no issues with it. You guys sure you've been trying to reply to a PM?

.P works but a pain to type in the heat of things sometimes or one handed, .r does not work for me.

.r doesn't work if the guy you're replying to is in another arena.  He has to be in the arena you're in.  If he's in another arena, you have to .p his name.

Ever consider the fact that while you .r somebody, someone else could PM you and you send the message to them on accident? This has happened to me a couple times, a downside to it.

I would like a ".rage" dot command that sends a PM to the last player to shoot me down.

If it is possible, I'd also like a menu of template rage PMs:
1. "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE YOUR X OUT TURNS MY Y @#$%@ HAXXOR"
2. "HOING LOSER"
and my favorite:
3. "YA HAD JUST TOOK OOFF AND YA HOT OVER 500MPH/BE GLAD WHEN Y RAG RATS GO BCK TO SCHOOL"

p.s.:

one for Pipz:
4. "Pull my finger!"
