Chat tab per character

Post by Karmandel »

I've been looking at the YATCO setup section, and it looks like I'd be able to have separate tabs for, say, pages, whispers, ooc comment, and regular says if I wanted.

But the environment I play in, I regularly have two or more independent conversations, and each moves between pages, whispers, and so on depending on where I and the others are at the moment. Has anybody built a system to keep such conversation in separate chat tabs, so that a tab appears 'by magic' when someone new pages me, for instance?

Haven't heard or seen anyone do this in particular - everyone knows beforehand what their channels will be, really. It looks like you'll have to take the code from demonnic.chat:create() and use that to create a 'create new tab' function.

Right, thanks -- I've been avoiding real Lua coding until now since I juggle six-seven languages at work already, but at least it's possible.
