text chat addition&some small things

1470244939

Edited 1470268441
Superficially i feel that the chat box is a bit bland and doesn't really capture my attention when it needs to and i have a few small ideas to fix that (and a somewhat big one), anyway so i was thinking that the chatbox could be popped out and have some flair added to it, not too much just being able to make it a black-box with white text so you can put it in the center of your screen and really have it grab you  so the big thing i have in mind is...well you know in Undertale and the Mother/earthbound series(i think,i dont remember) where character texts have specific fonts and when they "speak" they make specific gibberish sounds sorta in time with what their text says? i think incorporating that as a optional...option would be very nice, where character handouts and players have options to chose what font they wish to type in and in what verbal wingdings(i think thats what that is) they will speak in,if any, from a premade list of them, and maybe the ability for people to add there own.

Hi. Interesting ideas. Your suggestion is good. You can pop-out the Chat now. Wiki docs for this, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Pop-Out_Chat" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Pop-Out_Chat</a> A method called Roll Templates can help spruce-up your chat, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Templates" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Templates</a> For Pro Roll20 subscribers who have access to the API, you can do more of this. For example the community-created API script "Color Emote" gives a lot of color, pop, and customization to the chat. Also there are API scripts for posting gibberish or languages into the chat.
