Not quite, but closer. If you've played on some servers like Undamed or Eternion you'll know what I'm talking about. It's not really a channel, its more like a global announce in a way. Except its a different announce than the .announce command. It works kinda like this: Player "Someone" types: "/o Hi all!" Output to all players in world: "[World][someone]: Hi all!" /o is just an example of a text channel we could replace. Officer chat seems like the most common to replace for this type of feature.

I already figured this part out, this was not my question. I wish to know how to edit the core to modify already existing chats into a World Chat via code.

Does anyone know how to do this or have any ideas?

I am looking to implement a feature for world chat into my server but am unsure how to go about doing this. I have found guides for what I would like to accomplish, but they are for ArcEmu and the code is so different that they are nearly inapplicable. I would prefer not to use channels (general, lfg, /1, etc.) and maybe use officer chat like I have seen done on a few servers if possible. Does anyone know how to make a feature like this? ----- Also, as a side note: does anyone know how to change the format of the .announce command? I don't want it to be red and I want to add the GMs name who announced it.

I have no idea how to fix it now, but I have located it in the newer revisions of MaNGOS: debugcmds.cpp //Play sound bool ChatHandler::HandleDebugPlaySoundCommand(const char* args) { // USAGE: .debug playsound #soundid // #soundid - ID decimal number from SoundEntries.dbc (1st column) if( !*args ) { SendSysMessage(LANG_BAD_VALUE); SetSentErrorMessage(true); return false; } uint32 dwSoundId = atoi((char*)args); if(!sSoundEntriesStore.LookupEntry(dwSoundId)) { PSendSysMessage(LANG_SOUND_NOT_EXIST, dwSoundId); SetSentErrorMessage(true); return false; } Unit* unit = getSelectedUnit(); if(!unit) { SendSysMessage(LANG_SELECT_CHAR_OR_CREATURE); SetSentErrorMessage(true); return false; } if(m_session->GetPlayer()->GetSelection()) unit->PlayDistanceSound(dwSoundId,m_session->GetPlayer()); else unit->PlayDirectSound(dwSoundId,m_session->GetPlayer()); PSendSysMessage(LANG_YOU_HEAR_SOUND, dwSoundId); return true; }
