Don't go overboard with the OOC delays

Honestly, I really hate going on the server and trying to say something important in OOC when all of a sudden I find myself unable to use it for 10000 seconds more. What the fuck, honestly.

Oh and no, the solution isn't just BIC. Sometimes you really need to use it, but you can't, and you can't ask anybody. And it's very frustrating.

So, my suggestion? Don't crank it over 200 seconds, which is already ALOT. 10000 just makes it look like you'll never be able to use OOC, which is a terrible idea, given of how really stressing that is. Leave it on a constant 30 seconds so it doesn't get flooded.

Otherwise, just take Tacoscript's chatbox and adapt it, then leave the OOC delay at 10 seconds, given that OOC can be toggled then.

Reasons why OOC delay shouldn't be cranked up over 200 seconds.

-OOC keeps a less stressing RP situation. Even people on very consuming roleplays like to use OOC every now and then.
-OOC is useful for quick in game communicating without having to use SF.
-OOC can be used for warnings, suggestions, things like that.
-OOC is generally useful, AKA, thing that you want to use at the moment, not 8410 seconds later.

Honestly.
I support this.

But yes, good suggestion, I'm trying to get Tacoscript chatbox in.

This is definitely something I understand. Especially the whole frustrating aspect of it. Taking things to PMs gets mighty clustered.

We could always put in some serious rules against OOC/LOOC spammage if the Tacoscript chatbox isn't giving out the message. Like a kick, or a 5min ban or the player being gimped.

I agree yesterday I couldn't use OOC until like 1+e925 and I don't even think that is a proper number .

Problem being, Tacoscript chatbox is hard to put into Cakescript.

But, I'll try.

Not really, from what I can see, you just have to hook the AddToChatBox function on the cl_chatbox to some shared hooks, like playersay, or whatever. I think there's a "ChatboxAdd" hook or something, gotta check.
