How to make /p stick to the top of the chat window

Hinbin · 07-16-2004, 05:13 AM

Hi there,

Looking at the screenshots and videos of some of the higher levellers out there, I've noticed they've been able to stick messages said in /p, /ls etc. to the top of the chat window for a couple of seconds before they disappear amongst all the battle spam. I've included a screenshot below with an example of what I mean (thanks Faluzure).

I've looked through lots of options in game, and tried searching the forums for how to do this, but so far I haven't been able to find out.

I know there are other options to deal with losing the more important messages to battle spam, such as filtering and only having damage displayed on screen, but to not bore you with the details, this isn't really practical for me.

Does anyone know how to do this?

It's under chat filters. Where you would normally filter shouts, say, etc., off. It won't let you filter party or linkshell off but it lets you turn on the "hold" feature. That should be what you're looking for.

Spot on mate, I'll give this a try tonight - thanks!

(seems a bit well hidden, eh?)
