Because that's a blizzard game too  No, because unless you were using private channels for something like a clan, the channels were useless. Public channels effectively lowered the IQ of anyone that sat in them to chat by 20 points. There was rarely any valid/intelligent discussion; it was mostly immature kids typing in all caps. I couldn't even consider wasting time talking to these people. Also, the bots were horrible. Not all that useful. Channels do have their place, and I do agree that they should be implemented at some point; but mostly for the private channel functionality for clans and such. | ||

Although can you tell me what the dimensions are for the screen? That is, if I were going to make a dialog that was the entire screen, what would the dimensions be? Now just wait for EVERY map to implement this in as a cooler version of the game chat ^_^ | ||

I think BW had very good chat rooms relative to other games, but they were still crap, by and large. Clan cha was useful, other than that, it was a bunch of prepubescent kids who think the word penis is the funniest joke in the world, spammers, and bots trying to sell you crap. it's even worse for other games, such as War3 and Diablo 2, the latter of which has bots which will literally join your game, fill the screen with spam, and then leave. | ||

We all understand where Blizzard is coming from, but they are really just being stubborn. IRC and just about every chat room ever has been dealing with spam. It's a) not an impossible problem to solve and b) not worth scrapping a feature for. Personally, I think private channels are all that is needed. Let people register channels and moderate them themselves and the spam problem largely goes away. | ||

Also, I never had a bad experience chatting in bw or wc3. No spam and no bots. Guess I got lucky? I was mostly in clan channels and brood war/wc3 swe-x channels. Is it worse on the us servers maybe? | ||

Throw in chat rooms, then add the other stuff later. | ||

Mostly because I wanted to see if I could. I wanted to learn to work with the dialog boxes in the map editor. Not only can you do it, but it's relatively easy. The map editor in SC2 is amazing. That said, I don't think this is useful at all. It's just my tongue-in-cheek way of protesting the no-chat-at-launch announcement. Edit: It's also practice for the real map I've been working on (Thunderdome). | ||

Dimensions would be based on screen resolution so unless you want to code for every reso, you'll save a lot of time with %s. Note: You'll have to use galaxy code for this native editor functionality won't support it. | ||

I wasn't able to figure that out. Thanks. | ||
