Canceling the chat box.

[MasterFancyPants 0]

I have only been player killed 3 times, two of which occurred while I was typing and both times I before I died this message would show in chat:

MasterFancyPants[b12] "blah blah wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

My suggestion? If you take any damage while typing the chat box will immediately close and give you back control of your character.

I don't see why anyone would object to this. What does everybody else think?

I think you should just align your posts to the left, like everyone else. Right align is an eyesore.

I don't know if that's possible in the engine... really...

I think it's a great idea, if it's possible.

Pretty sure that's an ArmA thing. Just keep your fingers away from /. :p

Just hide before you chat/look at gear

[munchy 9]

Just remember to turn you light off and yeah hide^ when you do, you would be amazed how may people I get that way ;)

This is a rare thing to happen, but it's also incredibly infuriating when it does. Also, that's not always an option for people who don't have mics and have to type for direct chat (Mine broke the other day and the replacement still won't be here for another week).

Perhaps I should list what happened the two times I died:

The first time was when I was new to the mod; I saw some guy being set upon by zombies, I helped him out and afterwards just sat and looked at me. I started to type that there was an Enfield just down the road. During this he started shooting at me (He wasn't very good, missed two shots even with me standing still), if I just could have pulled out my Shotty he would have been dead.

The second time, just about an hour ago, I was out in the middle of nowhere typing a message on side chat. Then I got shot by a sniper, just as I got the message closed and started to run I was hit again, this time knocked out. He walked up to me and killed me.

There is no guarantee that this feature would change either of these situations, but at least it would give people a fighting chance.

The GUI requires some touching up, one item we know of is the debug monitor will go.

Next should be the chat box area, its too high and too much which takes up the bottom left.

Truemods the Addon, this had some nice GUI upgrades that DayZ could attempt ?

The chat box is defined by the engine and not really a concern at the moment.

I don't really see the need to invest time in automating something you can simply do by hitting esc.

...Or you could press Esc.
