Add option to disable/enable custom_chat. #17

Closed Dark3211 closed 4 years ago

Dark3211 commented 4 years ago

Add chimera's "custom chat" disable option in chimera.ini, because it's a bit annoying and I like the original more.

Example:

chimera.ini [custom_chat]

;================================================= ============================== ; Custom chat configuration ; ; This is the custom chat and server chat. Fonts can be either system, console, ; small, or large, and will be map-specific. ;================================================= ============================== ; Enable custom chat ;enabled=0

Well there are two problems with this. One, keystone.dll is very buggy and causes the game to become very unstable leading to crashes, like when Alt-Tabbing. Another problem is Chimera implements Quake color codes in its chat, and we want as many clients to have support for this as possible. Making the chat optional would mean we can no longer assume everyone with Chimera has support for Quake codes.

I understand that the low resolution of the internal fonts is a concern, but supporting the legacy chat system or replacement chats without all the features of Chimera is not something we want to do.

When will all the rare characters in names be supported?

They look awful with the chimera custom_chat.
