Hey guys, I've noticed someone mention this ingame before, and also that the chat board is a little spammed up. HeroChat allows the chat to be more organized.
Here is the Bukkit Dev link Global Chat is for global chat, so pretty much anything.
Trade Chat is for trading/buying things.
Local chat, which is displayed in yellow, allows you to chat but only people around you can hear.
Commands:
/ch g
Global
/ch l
Local
/ch t
Trade
It also comes with /msg <playername> so you don't have to do /tell or /r each time.
Do /msg <playername> then press enter without typing anything else. it will say "Now chatting with <playername>", then you can chat away until you change channels or chat with someone else. /tell and /r still work. If the person leaves the game mid-chat, change channels.
Please consider
