Mirage Source

Could someone help me, or if you already have it, put a chat system into the client and server. Like global chat, Local Chat, PM chat. I found a... not so good tut and something else. But they don't really help me.

I'm trying to make a 2D horror ORPG and I'd like this system integrated to give the game a more fun feel to it. I really appreciate the help or better yet a tutorial. Thanks.

Is it tabbed? To where you can click global or Local and PM?

No, it's not tabbed. But it's fairly simple to do. Give it a try, and we'll gladly help you along the way.

I wish there were screenies, I've looked but all I can find is other engines made with MS. I'm on my laptop thats only a 500mhz cpu, 8mb gpu and 128mb ram, and babysitting. So downloading MS here is kinda pointless, when I have a 512mb gpu, 2.2ghz cpu, 2gb ram desktop pc at home with my vb6. If it's not tabbed is it like Xtremeworlds?

Dunno, never used Xtremeworlds. You use a bunch of text commands to broadcast different types of chatting.

Would you know how to code it when you click the chat for Global or shout, that it cancels out any other chat and automatically puts in the / or ' command for the Shout? That would be great.
Edit: I was told that I have to make the server send packets from the global chat on the server to a new chat box in the client, but I don't have a clue how to make a chat box, or make a button for the cat box or form for the chat box.
This post is finished. I have our lead programmer programming it. Thanks for the help.
