Title: recognition of significant characters
Post by: Kundalf on April 26, 2003, 12:56:03 am

Hey,

since more and more ppl join planeshift there are more and more long and difficult names.
Now if you want to tell private messages using the /talk command, it would be compfortable if only the significant charactres needed to be typed as a name.....

Like if lets say Demian and Devoted are in the game it would fine if you could type \"/tell Dem ...\" for contacting Demian (these names are still short).

Another thing is, that it may prevent me seeing lines a guy called Thorgal (without the f) writes in red color...;)

Ah yes, but I go as Demoritus... Maybe they could put it so the shorter name gets sent to the person who last told something.

I don\'t like this idea much it favours people on these forums and not anyone ingame which is bad for noobs, and people who want to just play the game and not post on these boards

Personally, I like the tab completion idea as proposed by skweek in this thread:
