Okay, I've been seeing this for EVER and haven't figured out how the hell it's accomplished, so could somebody enlighten me, please?

How the hell do you make that bubble of flavor text appear while you're typing? The one that most use to describe the speech or voice of their character? How do you make/edit that? 'Cuz I've been going out of my damn brain looking for ways to edit that sort of thing.


Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.

Personally I use /bind ENTER "show chat$$afk ((Typing))$$startchat" with whatever you want in your 'away message' replacing Typing.

I'm pretty sure I poached this from someone on this very forum, though my brains are failing to brain sufficiently to retrieve that info.

Yup that sounds about right.

You don't need the "show chat" part.

You can just use...

/bind ENTER "afk YourMessageHere$$startchat"
... if you want. But adding "show chat" doesn't hurt it or anything.


Where do we go from here?
