Commented on TheSymbols Chat Mod mod

This mod surely got potential in terms of organizing your chat, but it comes with a few nuisances that make me not want to use it after all. Note that I was using the custom file from configuration creator.

1. There is no option to keep whispers in the 'All' tab and additionally have whispers in their individual own tab, too; even with the setting 'hide tabbed channels' disabled. You can only disable the whisper tabs completelly...

2. There is no way to disable or change the countdown sounds of the timer/x comand.

3. This mod does still add a symbol (heart) in Heart-a-Phone messages, even after 'all' symbols are disabled. You can mute Heart-a-Phones completelly, but leaving them on without symbols is no option.

4. Changing the whisper notification sound is only possible if you know the exact name of a sound...'file'? Actually I did search the whole Trove folder on my PC for the 'Play_ui_forge_use', but I could not find it. So it seems to be hidden somewhere inside another file out of sight. This leaves the only option to leave a blank if you do not like the forge sound played each time someone whispers you. A drop Box in the creator would be awesome. If not possible, then a list of available sounds can work, too.

5. What exactly does the Gold/Purple/Red Override do? And what custom coulors would or would not apply?

6. Minor bug found: After pressing Enter, your cursor goes into the message box, ready to type. Now, if you stay idle for a while and no new messages appear, then the whole chat box fades out as supposed to. But not supposed to: The chat box's scroll bar remains alone, still visible, while the related chat box vanished.

 

Pros:

1. I exspecially like the ability to have chat tabs pre-set with the creator's file, so all tabs that you want are already there without any need to summon them via comands.

2. Time stamp and its adjustment are a great way to not get lost even in multiple chats

3. I like the coefficient calculation comand!

 

Suggestion for improvement:

Allow us to customize Tabs further to display and not display different chats. Example: Have one tab named 'Clubs' and have /c1, /c2, /c3, /c4 and /c5 be there. Current workaround is having a Tab named just 'c' (and hope that there will never be any channel name with a 'c'). In short: an option to make a list of visible chats (and/or whisper) for each tab.
