Add an option to condense [PR] Status messages to one line?

    Decided to make this forum thread since I had a talk with King-C on discord last night about this:

    King-C — Today at 2:07 AM
    I had an idea.
    [2:07 AM]
    Hasn't anyone ever suggested to put all the stun messages together? Instead of having the chat being spammed by: King-C was stunned. TimKit was stunned. X was stunned.
    [2:08 AM]
    Why don't they put it in one line?

    timkit [™۞] — Today at 2:08 AM
    no one has definitely suggested that
    [2:08 AM]
    afaik

    King-C — Today at 2:08 AM
    The same goes for all bad statuses.

    timkit [™۞] — Today at 2:09 AM
    I don't think everyone is going to get a bad status all at once, outside of admins causing it
    [2:09 AM]
    sure, several will get a bad status at once, I know that's possible with several statuses
    [2:10 AM]
    hm
    [2:10 AM]
    if you mean to put being affected by bad statuses on 1 line
    [2:10 AM]
    would it be like say [PR] # players got stunned!
    [2:10 AM]
    or [PR] # players were irradiated!
    [2:11 AM]
    just as examples

    King-C — Today at 2:14 AM
    Yes, exactly.
    [2:15 AM]
    You can see when somebody is stunned, poisoned, irradiated and so on.
    [2:15 AM]
    I find it unnecessary to put a single line for every player. On scenario, this is an issue I think, because we can miss important messages from the teammates.
    [2:16 AM]
    And then there are the useless messages like: bad status blocked. I don't even know what that means.

    Would it be possible to shorten [PR] status messages (for the other players that get bad status effects) to 1 line as an option for those that don't want status messages cluttering their chat?

    As an example:
    [PR] Player x was stunned!
    [PR] Player y was stunned!
    [PR] Player z was stunned!
    or
    [PR] Player x was irradiated! blah blah
    [PR] Player y was irradiated! blah blah
    [PR] Player z was irradiated! blah blah

    It could become this:
    [PR] 3 players were stunned!
    or
    [PR] 6 players were irradiated!

    I'm sure most people probably don't mind seeing the status messages are they already are, but this is mainly for those people in cases where tanks will inflict statuses to multiple people at a time in close proximity.

    afaik as well, there's no notification option to avoid seeing status messages, not that they get spammed much outside of those cases mentioned above.
