Chat settings
You can access chat settings using the TV-icon (see title) and it opens:
- 'Show on Global' means that if you are watching Global chat (got renamed to English chat), you will see the messages in that chat.
- 'Show Tab' actually changes the tabs you can click to. When in any other Tab than English, only that chat, whispers & SYS messages will show up in chat.
- The Chat Commands: /c [channel-name] & /crew help navigating the chat channels while in English (or 'Global') chat.
Joining a chat channel
NOTE: If you are trying to join the crew chat, steps 1 - 4 are not required, you already join the crew chat when joining the crew. All you need to do is tick 'Show on Global' & optionally make it a 'Show Tab'.
- Using the marked buttons you switch between chats you are already a part of (left button) and search function for all other chats (right button).
- Look for the chat you want to join using the search function (or scroll down) & click join.
- This chat is a private chat, so it requires you to enter the password before you can join.
- Go back to the channels you are member off after joining the chat you want to join
- Scroll down to the new chat
- Change the 'Show Tab's & enable Show on Global. NOTE: Always 5 tabs are enabled to 'Show', not more, not less.
- And click Apply Changes.
Creating a chat channel
- Click the magnifying glass to switch to chats you haven't joined yet.
- Click Create Channel bottom of the screen
- Choose type of chat
Global Temporary: Everyone can join, 10 minutes after creation, chat disappears. Free of charge.
Global Permanent: Everyone can join, stays permanently. All chat rules have to be followed & action can be taken in full against rulebreakers. Costs 10.000 F.
Private Permanent: Password locked, stays permanently. It's highly recommended to follow our chat rules. In extreme cases, action can be taken (after report). Costs 10.000 F.
- Choose name
Needs to be between 4 & 14 characters.
Chat names breaking our game rules, can be removed by staff.
- If you choose Private Permanent, choose a 4 character password (and remember or write it down somewhere)
- Click Create (and pay 10.000 F) & see the chat added in your joined chats. (NOTE: had to change name between steps because swekk channel already exists)
