Hi All, The latest and greatest chat menu system is now available. I have added a couple of new features and fixed a number of bugs:
- The chat menu automagically creates messages that include the nearest airport, the current runway in use (based on the current weather conditions), and information about your aircraft and location. For example "Half Moon Bay Traffic, G-FGFS is type Cessna, inbound from the south-west at 4,000ft, straight in approach runway 30, 4 miles to run". - The chat repetition bug should now be completely fixed (though I have only seen it twice, so I can't be 100% certain). - Going backwards and forwards through the message tree is now more reliable. The patch consists of a number of files (from http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/chatmenu.tar.gz): - multiplayer.nas: a complete replacement for Nasal/multiplayer.nas - chat-menu.xml: a new dialog to be placed under gui/dialogs - chat-menu-entries: an XML file defining the various chat messages, based on CAP-143 (UK standard radio phraseology). To be placed under ATC/ The patch also changes a small number of other files, for which diffs are included below. As Melchior doesn't spend much time using Multiplayer, he has asked that I post to the list, so someone with more MP experience can review and commit it to CVS. I think this is a big improvement over the current broken chat implementation and improves the MP experience significantly. I'd therefore ideally like it to be included in the release. As the patch is non-trivial, I'd appreciate it if it could be committed so that plenty of people can have the chance to try it out before the release.
