Okay, this one actually needs explanation. I really think there should be a character that will cause lines entered into the console to be treated as commands only- probably '/'. Just so someone doesn't type 'loyin password' and let everyone in the server know what the password is. Typing '/loyin password' would result in an 'Unknown Command' message, instead of broadcasting the mistyped command to everyone.
-
Hm, I thoght this was there already.
The '/' thing... Im too lazy to verify :P
-
Adding a slash to the beginning of a console command is exactly the same as not adding the slash, as far as I can tell. Typing '/bleh' still makes you say 'bleh'.
-
This may be difficult to implement without some major changes in the command system (or disabling chat at the console completely). I know I never use the / for commands, so if I made a typo, it would still go through.
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, what you're saying is impossible without disabling console chat. Perhaps a better vote would be to have a separate chat console and command console.
-
Removing console-chat is another way to do this, but I chat via the console too much when I'm dead, so that's not an ideal solution. ;)

that could be good.
-
A console dedicated to chat seems like overkill to me. Disabling console chat is the way to go, then.
-
Actually, this is something I'd like to have at some point, so you could see just the chat without eliminations and other crap getting in the way.

Nooooooooo thankyou!

2 consoles???

I am sooo gonna try to add a second console to DP now :)
Well, not a console per se, but a bufer that displays in a window.
-
What would be cool is to have a more window-oriented GUI, or maybe something like MMORPG games have, with different tabs. In one tab, you can type commands and see game events. In another, you can chat.
-
I think it's perfect the way it is.
-
If you're going to change it, I think the chat should stay where it is and the other messages should appear at the bottom.
-
I'd probably leave the messages alone, just split them up when you bring the console down.
But anyway, that's a different topic.
