[Ideas] Console Rework

[thmsndk]

The current console generates a lot of lag when the console is verbose. the text scrolls by rather fast aswell. This issue exists to collect ideas on HOW we want the console to function in the 3D client.

Feel free to post suggestions and ideas on this in this issue

One idea is to support pinning to current tick, IE: when a new tick comes in, replace the console contents. Ideally, this would create a dashboard like effect with bots such as ZeSwarm whose console output varies only a little between ticks.

I was also thinking of adding the following

• Maximize button
• Minimize button
  • This should minimize down to showing the last line "above" the console input
• Autofade - make the console fade if there has been no new lines, kinda like a lot of the MMO chats out there.
• allow controlling opacity

Other ideas

• "Tabs" with filters allowing you to put specific things in each tab
• Filters in general, allowing you to ignore specific console logs.
