This game NEEDS NEEDS NEEDS text chat

[Sir_Brizz]

Okay, I am getting fed up with this game. Anarchy is AWESOME... if you have competent teammates. However, there is no way to inform people on your team that they are complete dicktits without text chat. Yes, there is voice chat... and it is useless. PLEASE add text chat, or at least access to the quick console.

Right now the game is getting ever closer to a never-play for me.

[VileKill]

Either that or a vote kick option. :p

[Sir_Brizz]

Ideally, both!

[ARustyFirePlace]

I'd love that too, but I don't think their ever gonna change the game at all.

LOL @ trying to sell us DLC.

[Flak]

I'll pass this along to the developers.

[akstylish]

Indeed. This is THE only thing that's keeping me from playing Anarchy with random people. And thank you Flak.

[NecroDome]

It is the major problem, people attempting to "compete" for kills, and ignoring the team 4x mulitpliers... It could be fixed with something as trivial as a loading screen that explains the actual point of anarchy... kind of a mini tutorial you have to view before even entering the anarchy lobby, maybe even reminders between waves...

[Kantham]

I'll pass this along to the developers.

Pass them that this game needs a freaking editor too! (Puuhlease?)
The product itself would be put out of it's misery by a large margin if that ever happens.

Thanks.

[Flak]

Sorry, there are no plans for an editor.

Dunno if this will work or not, but try adding this to your Input.ini file (Unreal engine games usually have it in this layout:My documents/my games/Bulletstorm(most likely this)/StormGame(Im assuming it will be something like this also)/Config/StormInput.ini

add this if it isnt already there:


[Engine.Console]
ConsoleKey=Subtract
TypeKey=Tilde
MaxScrollbackSize=1024

Others have stated that it doesn't work. Sad thing is, the console DOES work on PS3, which means it was specifically disabled for the PC version :( Also, the INI files are encrypted.

[Fijut]

disappointing

Consoles getting more freedom than PC? That's just unbelievable.

Are you serious? Is this serious!? :mad:

Well, I'd make a thread expressing my views on this and the surrounding matter regarding PC gamers getting pooped on, but... oh, oh wait a minute, I already did, and it got locked...

Upon asking why said thread got locked for clarification and future reference purposes, it got deleted, haha! :rolleyes:

Just give us editor. We will fix everything ourselves ^^.



If someone manage to open console, then you should be able to send text message using "/say". This worked on PC Gears as far as i know.

it is also possible to create chat window using UI Editor/Scaleform, but to do this we need editor.


And btw. I don't understand your problem on Anarchy. This mode can be beaten in two days... I beated two levels with friend in single day (ok, ok. Second level stopped on 16 wave because my laptop suddenly crashed, but we were just flying through waves :P )

[Sir_Brizz]

Problems on Anarchy? I can do them just fine with any number of friends. But jump on a public game, and good luck.

[Kantham]

Sorry, there are no plans for an editor.

Thanks for your reply Flak.

As for the rest of the team behind this idea...

:/

[TheS19Project]

It is possible to decrypt ini files you know. Is it the 93u7gi4f489g49ug$$%%* kind of encryption or the "Executable Code" error upon running the game with modded ini?

[Sir_Brizz]

You can change the INI but setting the console values does nothing. It seems PCF stripped the console code out of the PC version of the game.

Because you played with a friend and were able to communicate?

[SonicBlade]

Must be because 'DLC' has fewer letters than 'MSUC', thus it's easier to write. Rest in pieces, community initiative.
At least there's no remorse in informality.

Well I used skype to communicate with friends to play anarchy for the half-hour we played, then we got back to UT2004. I know it's not how it "should be" but it worked... I can imagine the pain it is to play on public servers though.

[phreeflo]

What kind of console ported failure of a game has no in game text-chat in the MP.

Hard to type on the x-box controller, so why would the game need chat, right?

It's agony, VOIP is also broken. Haven't heard one clear word thus far, if you want to see how in-game VOIP should work go play Heroes of Newerth (clarity and the ability to mute someone who rages at you).

Also the ability not to chat is so uber frustating. For instance I want to be able to tell the people to lure an enemy to edge, that there is spikes under the bridge for the voodoo doll, wanna tell them what trap shooting is, that I'll initiate the kick, while they shoot the enemy.

So it does not has a text chat, that is why I could key xD

well, it indeed would help a lot.

[phreeflo]

DLC for 9.99 though guys!

Maybe they ran out of money and need that 9.99 to add the text-chat and fix the bugs.

Well it's not like EA are a billion dollar company! Don't have such high expectations, this game was 60$ man! You can't expect a good game for 60$!
