/chat_set Command Consistency Pass

[TemporalVileTerror]

I'm not sure if this is more of a bug, an oversight, or a request for the expansion of an existing feature, but . . . 

The /chat_set command appears to not have all channels working with it.

Specifically, I couldn't get it to switch to the Help Channel, any channel which is aliased to two or more letters, or the new General Chat channel.

Maybe it was just my error, but the command could probably use a consistency pass by someone with access to the code.

I'd love to see the Help channel added.

 

I wish chat_set worked in complex binds- I was trying to set up a complex bind in CityBinder so I could use a button to swap through the channels I use most in chat, including the Help channel, but it didn't do anything. I don't know if it's my resolution, but the channel buttons are so inconveniently tiny.

One solution for this is to set up 3 or 4 separate Chat windows and make the Default for each one of the channels you want to keep tabs on (that's a pun, folks). Then select the "current chat" button - I think it's the A at the right end - and to switch active chat entry, just click on the window you want to catch your pearls of wisdom.

 

Not a perfect solution, but it lets me both watch and switch between Help, General and Team chat.
