Tonight I have released an update for Stormfront Users. A Speech window option has been added to allow a player to track spoken and whispered speech independently of the Story window.

The Speech Window is optional, and can be hidden via the Windows dialog typically located to the top of the left dock bar.

>>A Speech window option

Absolutely brilliant, Keios! If it could get ported to Ixix Avalon FE work, and we can get it dumped over to Wizard FE, we'll have the trifecta! And I can cull some of my scripts consuming processing power.

Good update!

One thing to note, as we've seen a handful of reports, this update isn't boding well with WizardFE users who also use Lich. The likely culprit is that Lich snags our XML feed, and when it does that, it confuses our system that you're using StormFront (since WizardFE doesn't have an XML feed). So unfortunately, Lich needs to report back after it does that, which client you're using. Sorry for the monkey wrench to those that use the third-party software. But this update is a really good thing.

I figured I'd spell it out as a thankful gesture to the developer of Lich. We come in peace!

It also does not play well with the java client from the website (I was having the same exact problem with dual speech lines when I tried that as a work around), er not that I think anyone uses that archaic thing much--but just in case it wasn't something specific just to lich...I figured I would make it known.

You touch some great wyrwood trees and listen as a chorus of faint whispers echo through your mind, their voices like the harmonious rustling of leaves.

We made a minor update so it was working well with the WebFE shortly after the problem was known to us. Can you double check Java again?

I only see out-loud speech in the window, no whispers. Are whispers supposed to be in there too?

Yelling also doesn't appear; not sure if that was intended or not.

A small overlook on my part. Those two should now show up in the Speech Window as well. Thank you for the reminder. :)

was just about to mention the yelling, awesome to have that

Also, I'm not sure what happened here, but one of Sylinar's lines didn't get captured (most have) (I edited out the player name)

Sylinar says, ""Player, I am ready to transform your items.""

The weird thing is that the normal story window didn't highlight it in green either.

My apologies for that. It was due to a issue with how I implemented the new settings for the yell verb.
I've put a fix in, please let me know if any other issues come up.

This line isn't actually Sylinar talking, but a scripted item we use while merchanting to keep things orderly.

This may have to be adjusted manually in several spots that don't use standard speech mechanics -- for example, the yelling done during the Troubled Waters quest, or in the echoing canyon, or in Black Swan by the swinging disks.

Turns out this is only a problem if you're not running Lich 4.6, which I'm not yet because I'm lazy.

Luckily Tillmen told me about a script called ;no-speech-window that fixes the problem in other Lich versions.

I was trashed last night and when I logged in and saw everything coming out twice, I briefly questioned myself on how badly I was seeing double. :(

First, speech window is awesome THANK YOU.

Second, I noticed first person group whispers still don't show up in it? Still of course show in the story window. Other parties' group whispers show up in the speech window though.
