BlackSpectre Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Hi, As a league leader, it would be VERY useful to be able to invite everyone in a league to a custom chat channel to give instructions. Does anyone know if there is such a command? and if not, would it be a easy to add to the game? "/chan_invite_team" exists for teams, but it does not appear to work for leagues (even though there is a command where you can invite your entire global friends list to a custom chat channel) . P.S. I wasn't sure if I should post there here in suggestions, or in the help thread... hope this is correct...

Apparition Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 As a fellow league leader... Just use the Request channel. Adding custom chat channels and inviting leagues to it would backfire. A. It is yet another channel that would have to be added to the person’s chat tabs. B. People would not use it. C. Request channel fulfills the same purpose and is already on people’s chat tabs.
Ukase Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 So...what's wrong with using League? Everyone in the league can see it. Whether they choose to read it, and filter out the non-instruction commentary...that's a different story altogether.
BlackSpectre Posted August 5, 2020 Author Posted August 5, 2020 The basic problem members complain about is that they miss instructions from the league leader because the instruction blend in with all the other comments. @Apparition, darn if you're not correct! I had tested this out before and it didn't pan out, but I just tested it again and you're absolutely right... the request channel IS on people's chat at character creation!!!! I had believed that it wasn't. Well, that works... thanks guys. 1 Black Spectre - A Dark Defender's Home on the Web • The Advanced Bind Guide • The Masters of BAF: A Guide for Leaders and Players • The Wiki List of Slash Commands
SwitchFade Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 League already exists, has a sound notification that is destinct, has coloring that is distinct and all people have to do is set up the current tabs they have to have league. For example,.my bottom box has team, league and tells only, all others on top. Sorry, not really needed.

The problem with using League for instructions is that people can (and do), routinely miss instructions due to all of the league chit-chatter. That's why I use the Request channel instead, and ask before hand to please make sure that they have the Request channel in one of their chat tabs, (which all players do by default, but just in case).
Troo Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Request works well. Being a strong color that stands out is also a bonus. Now if League leader chat could default to a highlighted color.. that'd be cool to.
