Overview
The War Commander Chat Box is a User Interface Feature that may be viewed and accessed from the World Map, Player's Base and the Attack / Recon screen of an Enemy Base.
- Found in the lower left hand corner of the screen, the Chat Box allows all Players in a Sector to openly communicate with each other.
- Each message entered is displayed with both the Name and Level of the sender.
Chat Uses
- This allows for Players to engage in the following :
- General Discussion
- Attack Coordination
- Calls of Assistance
- Dispute Resolutions
- Game Knowledge Transfer
- Attack Log Display
- and much more
Functions
The Chat Box has several built-in functions that aid the player in various tasks :
- Clickable Names - The name of any Player who has posted a message may be clicked on. This will cause the map view to "Fly" to that Player's Base.
- Clickable Coordinates - Any number entered into the Chat Box containing a comma will be displayed as Map Coordinates ( Format - ###,### ). Once entered, clicking on this number will focus the Map View on the appropriate Coordinates.
- Target Location - Functions the same as Clickable Coordinate but is displayed with the declaration that these Coordinates are a Target.
- Blockable Names - A Player may block another players posts from their view by clicking on the Red Circle that appears when the cursor passes over a name.
- Profanity Filter - The Chat Box will filter out anything it deems to be offensive by exchanging the the letters with *'s.
- Expandable Box - Clicking the Blue ^ Button will cause the Chat Box to expand to roughly 3x its normal size to allow more posts to be viewed at the same time.
- Chat ON/OFF - The Chat Box may be disabled by clicking the Red Button in the upper right corner. Clicking this button again will enable chat once again.
