Chat feature?
I just finished off my first game against Karl Gallagher, but I couldn't call up the text chat feature. I could have sworn I hit it accidentally while in SP mode. He trounced my infantry mobile howitzer force with his mark IV. I wanted to "gg" him and also let him know that I was actually trying to deploy Super heavies, but I guess I mis-clicked and didn't double check the units I put on the map.
A decent match up. It's early 1980's Fridays all over again. I just need some rocking 80s music in the background. |

Hi, Blue. I'm up for a rematch against SHVYs some time. They'd probably do better. Thanks for a fun game.
I hadn't realized there was a chat function in Ogre, or is it a Steam feature? |

Re: Chat feature?
I'll check back this Friday. There seems to be no one on at all any time I log in. It makes me think my Steam access is being shunted somehow.

Re: Chat feature?
There is no in-game chat; it's all the built-in Steam stuff.
If you have someone listed as a friend on Steam already, you can see the listing of your friends and chat with them that way. If they are not a friend, there's no easy way to converse during a game with a stranger. It makes it hard to add new friends that you meet while playing. :-(

Re: Chat feature?
Well, this is almost the straw that breaks this camel's back, because I've had numerous negative experiences with Steam. Not really with Ogre in spite of its flaws, I actually have enjoyed playing it immensely. But with other games connected to Steam, it's just been a giant punk fest.
Hopefully chat will be added to Ogre along with all the fixes. |

Re: Chat feature?
Even if there isn't an interactive chat it would be useful to have a single message option. Examples:
Set up while waiting for a match: "Hi, I'm AFK but I'll be making moves at least every twelve hours." With a completed turn: "I have to go AFK for two hours after this turn." Pre-set macro: "Dude, the dice hate you." |

Re: Chat feature?
Thanks Jake. I must have been confusing Ogre with some other game, but for the life of me I could have sworn I hit an ingame chat feature. Oh well.

There's currently nothing in the game (or in Steam) to easily chat with a random opponent. :-(
