I want a DooM Legacy chatroom. This idea and ones like it are the next logical step if Legacy is getting dedicated servers and good netplay support.
The Chatroom would be a box that was about double or triple the size of the status bar. It would be translucent and resimble the console. When you entered a chat,you got a mouse cursor. Using this,you could send private messages,goto other rooms,ect without the hassle of typing in commands. Think Windows with a DooM game behind it :P
I Don't know if this has been done in a source port or not,but it would be neat to have it in Legacy.
The chatroom should closley resimble a stripped down and smooshed IRC chatroom. I'll make a picture of what I think the chatroom window would look like. Please note I am artisically limited and use your imagination :P
Anyone in a chatroom has a ultra-white player model and cannot be damaged until they leave the chatroom. There should be multiple chatrooms,for teams,private conversations and what-not. It would also need passwords.
Here is a List of Chat console commands I thought would be useful. These should be useable from the console OR a chatroom,and the most common and practical ones should be given buttons.
chat start (name) (pass) : Would Start a general chatroom named the (name) part. You would be the host,and even the real server cannot override what you do. He could still boot you and close the chatroom if he needs to,though. If there is nothing in the pass part,it would be an open general chatroom.
chat exit: Exits current chatroom
Chat Boot (name) : You know how this goes.
Chat join (name) : Joins a room.
Chat setpass: (password) If you made a chatroom,this would change the password to it.
The Chatroom itself should look somthing like this,but in DooM legacy fashon,better organized and in DooM fonts!

Any ideas to add to this and any persons to help orginazation of this idea would be thanked!
