HUD: Easier accept/deny command

Jul 09, 2007 Planes link
Ok, here is now my big bugger for me. Many of you vet have got around this somehow but I can't figure how I could to it faster.

My big bugger are about doing '/group accept "Some l33t n4m1ng d0n3 by som3 pl4yers..."' is to long to type considering you have about 10 to 15 sec before the message would disappear in the chat roll. Same goes for /duel command and maybe some other command I did not yet faced up to now.

What i suggest is a queue of request so that we could just hit a button like "y" or "n" and all this could be put with a timer of 30 sec to auto-refuse if someone would totally ignore the message. This little queue could fit nicely below the inventory summary or somewhere else.

If a LUA script exist for this kind of operation, please post where to get it and I suggest to default the script in the installation.

I like it.

In the meantime, you could use TAB-complete to fill in the names.

This is entirely possible to do in a lua script. Do you want a simple "Would you like to join <player>'(s) group/guild/etc?" you can type a /yes or /no into, a full-blown modal popup(sorry mouse users), or a configurable mix of both?

Edit: Or being able to bind it to something? Like y for yes and h for hold up?

could not agree more on "the commands are too long"
/g j should be enough to join the offered group you were invited to if there is just one invite.
/g j "name" if you are picky and all the cool guys wanted you in their team.

whereas /g j is an alias for group join
/g i "name" - guess what i could stand for ^^

also duel...
/duel (/d) challenges selected target to a duel.
/duel accept (/d a) accepts.

or
/ac (ac cept) = accept whatever, most of the time a duel or group invitation.
/dc (de cline) - declines maybe

A small hint: Type one, two, even three letters of the name and then hit tab. Example:

/group join mo{hit tab} ---> /group join moldyman

/msg "Jestatis Bess " (notice the space at the end of the name)

Type /msg jes<tab>
VO will add the quotes on it's own.

Shaded: Demonen is right. don't out the quotes the game will do it for you. they you won't get the space at the end.

Forgot the popup Steve, that just does not fit with the interface of VO, shall just be a binding and it'll be fine :)

these binding could be fine :
y : accept
n : decline
h : hold-up a minute
