Whining about missing chat panel

[=CfC=Woof]

Am unable to activate the chat panel with the ~ key.  Nor can I see who just destroyed me.  Some on line searches have suggested changing config entries...to no avail.  Also dragging panel with mouse...also unable as the only time the mouse appears is when the map is active.

This is my current config:  [chat]
region=(dx=0.6925,dy=0.071666665,x=0.0,y=0.0)

Changed it to this as per online suggestion:   [chat]
region=(dx=0.8864286,dy=0.1695238,x=0.0,y=0.0)

No help.

Also changed Chatter from 0 to 1.

No help.

I'd sure appreciate any suggestions as I'm sure you are all quite sick of my querulous and frequent  "Who shot me down?"

This is my [chat] conf.ini setup Woof:-

Code Select Expand

[chat]
region=(dx=0.6925,dy=0.071666665,x=0.0,y=0.0)
adr0=ALL
msg0=0
msg1=2
msg3=3
msg9=9
adr1=MY_ARMY

Would suggest you save a copy of your current conf.ini and give that a try.

FWIW Woof here's my tupppennorth:

In game bring map up and then click at the middle and top of the screen.  Hopefully this will bring up the "chat" dialogue box.  If so, mouse over the bottom edge of the box until a double-headed arrow icon appears, then left-click and drag down a bit.  You should now see chat and server messages.

NB I've just done this to test and it only works (chat dialogue box appearing) in MP.


BTW dx/dy takes me back a bit - differential calculus anyone?

Ted....I think you have the answer.

It is a "receive" message problem that Woof has and not a "send". I need to get off my bike!
