Hey, AW new feature to add to your, hopefully large list. How about a way
for all chat to run through a bot? What I mean is instead of broadcasting
the chat messages to all, only gives it to a bot(with CT of course). That
way the bot could then proccess the chat and resend it to everyone....this
would allow CTs to customize the chat of their users, and edit out bad
words. Of course it might lead to putting words in people's mouths, heh, but
nevertheless a good feature.

That could be done, here's how:

Disable chat in your world, give it only to the Bot. Have people whisper to
your bot what they want to say. Then have the bot repeat what they say
using a console message, customized to whatever you want. Hope that helps.

Well having to whisper to the bot what you want to say gets annoying after
awhile. Also, what if the bot is out of range? This chat system should work
in global mode and not just near the bot.

Well it's far from perfect, but it should still work. The only other way to
do it would be to build in some sort of bot to the browsers, or servers, to
intercept the messages before they're broadcasted.

Citing the techtalk from june 7th, this is true:

"Young Shamus: the last feature in the first stage of 3.4 is the
world option to always show names, and to block all regular chat -
this is so that a bot could handle and process the chat."

Go to ps2linux, there all chat is killed and replaced by console messages,
I guess a bot does it.

What is your problem? geesh This is a very good feature and from what has
been said, it is being added to AW 3.4. If it was such a dumb idea, then why
is it being added to the next browser? Looks like you need to rethink what
you say.

Yes, it's been planned for 3.4 since 3.2 hasn't it?

Don't pay attention to him, he just thinks he's really cool because he
swears and trashes everyone around... What a sad case.
