Author: D. Tyler Barnes Format: Patch Tested Patchlevels: 15, 17 A peeve of mine is when I want to talk to someone and they're spending 10 minutes rolling a new character, or in OLC, or somewhere that I can't contact them. This is my solution. It will allow you to break in and talk one-on-one with anyone. On the chat command line you can specify a username or a descriptor number as shown on the USERS command, so it is even possible to break in and talk to someone before they have typed their name in at the main screen. Very useful :) this is really my "first draft" .. I haven't seen it done elsewhere, I can think of numerous features I could add, and even what's there, I wonder if it could be done better... but damned if it doesn't work. Give it a shot.. I'll hopefully have an update on this routine in the future. If people use this patches, I would really appreciate an email and possibly a mud telnet address if the mud it has been applied to is open to the public.
