Multiplayer chat key -EL

Post by Manboy no 5 »

Hi there. I feel a bit awkward posting a topic for this, but I can't find the text chat button in Evochron Legends. I've searched these forums and the documentation with no luck so far. I joined the official server earlier, and a few players there seemed pretty friendly but all I could manage was transmitting my coordinates. Can someone tell me how I chat to other players in-game?

LOL chat 101 coming up...
To chat, press "enter", then type, then "enter" again.

Chat key (enter) is a secret key!
Sometimes, It can be very dangerous!!! You'll understand what I mean one day :) Especially If you fight with other players in MP.

A trap, a curse actually :P:P:P

Many brave Evochron pilots have been terminated becauseof this key! :P
I wish to forget it!

I learnt the terrible secret of the chat key. Sometimes you're writing instructions to a player newer than yourself. Sometimes you might think you're in chat, but not, and press the shift key, which may or may not launch your excalibur missiles and kill the new guy in the starting frame. Sorry Neon :(

Ha Ha - I don't thinks there a pilot out there that has not done that!!!!

You could try remapping the "let go all your missiles at your buddy" key (the shift) to something else - that cures the finger problem normally.

And welcome - Beware the Romulan and the BA Clan.

:D LOL.....Yuppers I do believe everyone has done that at least once or twice...you can assign a new key for launching your missiles to solve that problem. ;)
