As a suggestion, it would be nice if the player's names were highlighted in the game chat so you could click on a name & have a private chat with that player. Sometimes a map has so many players, i.e. spawn parties, that you can't find a player you want to respond to.

Re: Player chat
That would be cool, but I think it would require A LOT of coding, so not sure it will happen anytime soon.
In the meantime, there is a way to PM players on a busy field (such as a spawn party). Use the whisper command /w. It works for anyone on the same map.
Its used
/w playername message
Example
/w MadMikael please spawn please
(I get that a lot lol)
Note: if the player has a space in their name, it can cause issue with the /w command... not sure if it was fixed
EDIT: for a list of chat commands, click HELP from the game's main menu (or go to http://ftmmorpg.dmgamestudio.com/help/ ) and check out #13 - Chat Commands.

Re: Player chat

Re: Player chat
thanks for the support Leone ^^
Edit: but the reason I'd like unmute is because I'm sick of deleting friend to talk to people, I wouldn't have a problem if we had infinite room for friends
Edit 2: also I've been mute for quite some time... and this could be the "second chance" that muted player can have if they been mute long time

Re: Player chat
But I still see bad language in your chat logs....also I've been mute for quite some time... and this could be the "second chance" that muted player can have if they been mute long time
This fact isn't really driving me to grant a last “last chance”.

Re: Player chat
Many muted players who have alts dont curse on those alts. Even hammers "not hammer" alt was curse word free because he used it to talk to others at times.
Im willing to be the reason why youl still find curse words in muted players history even when they ask for that final last chance is because its private. If your muted, and you have people around you on your friends list who can hear you. Then they most likely probably dont care if they hear the curse words. Or. Their muted themselves.
I was told long ago that if i swore in a pm to a friend who was quite ok with it, but never in public that i wouldnt face a mute. Because public chat all are forced to see. Clan is a bit different. Pm's between friends different again.
Now yeah. Just spamming curse word pm's at randoms is as bad as doing it in public chat. But there are others who simply don't care when its their mates saying it to them.
So why not grant him that final chance? Isnt that what it is? A final chance to show whether or not when released from a mute when all can hear them to see if they'l behave responsibly? Because if they dont you can always take it away again.
Theres truly no harm in granting that last chance even if you know they may/may not fail. That just means the last chance is used up... and if they really want to curse up public chat... wouldnt they just make a lvl 0 and do it anyway?
Give him a shot. You might be surprised. Hes a cool dude, when released into public chat you might see all public/clan chat of curse words gone overnight. Or maybe not. And if you dont. Just mute him again.

Re: Player chat
Exactly, but lots of my cursing come from anger issues, but if I get an unmute, I'll do my best to stay calmed.

Re: Player chat
A lot of peoples cursing in this game comes from anger. Its not an excuse at all. But. This.
This right here that he'l do his best to not use curse words. Thats the idea of a last chance isn't it? Benifit of the doubt one time only. To see if they'l keep chat clean once unmuted. If they succeed great. If they fail, remute, right?James142 wrote:Exactly, but lots of my cursing come from anger issues, but if I get an unmute, I'll do my best to stay calmed.
