Ingame PMs
« on: February 19, 2016, 09:46:17 PM »
When someone types a PM into the text buffer ".p handle message...", I'd like for a pop-up notification to appear on the receiver's screen (similar to a join request). This can be set by default to a corner of the screen out of the way, just thought it'd be handy because simple PMs in the text buffer can quickly go unnoticed - especially when a receiver does not realize when there are being spoken to directly. Doesn't have to be the message body, just a notification like "you have a private message" or "<Handle> has PM'ed you".
"Lord, let us feel pity for Private Jenkins, and sorrow for ourselves, and all the angel warriors that fall. Let us fear death, but let it not live within us. Protect us, O Lord, and be merciful unto us. Amen"-from FALLEN ANGELS by Walter Dean Myers

Maybe a different color text.  The bright white, can blend in with 200 chat.  Problem is, seems all other prime colors seem to be taken. 

 :headscratch: Pink???  May give one pause to belittle another for combat squabbles, if known the cutsie pie lettering.  :kiss:

You can have a separate tab just for PMs and put it anywhere on your screen.
