Direct Messages
Description
Allow direct messages between two players separate from the main chat.
Need to experiment with the best way to present the additional messages.
Current thoughts are to either...
- Put custom, more compact tabs across the top of the chat panel which can be flicked between or closed like browser tabs. Would work akin to TeamSpeak with regard to keeping message history.
- Add a tab to the user list section which shows active DMs that can be flicked between and closed in a similar way. This might be more space efficient since you probably don't need the whole user list when you're chatting with one person.
- add friend button in user list, u can dm freely after the other acceptance (smart way to prevent spam through dm's), also u can store some statistics about trade history like (most |bought / sold| item and how many trades already been made with that user) and show them in friend List tab. Also, friend list tab will replace Trades tab as it can store all friends and DM's chat without the need for new top bar tabs according to the new method of trade-only with those who are friend.
