anyone else having the problem with not being able to send chat in the server chat.  I can see several people chatting and even send items.  Just cant chat.

A new version is available, it just adds a scroll bar for the user list.

anyone else having the problem with not being able to send chat in the server chat.  I can see several people chatting and even send items.  Just cant chat.

I tried to find a possible cause for the bug, but I can't figure it out what could cause this. Is there a message in Debug Log saying "A packet was sent ChatMessagePacket" when you try to send a message ?
Do you click on the button to send a message (and not hitting enter, for example) ?

[sefin_88]

Im not getting the "a packet was sent ChatMessagePacket"  but I am recieving all the packets....maybe I have a firewall issue on my end.  I am playing from Kuwait on public internet....

Mother of god someone finally did this after all the talk and discussions we have had about since alpha 7 or so

[Zhakir]

I have a request for this mod.  Version Numbers.

That is all.

[YoruOokami]

This should be pinned I reckon.

[Pillow Fort]

seems like there is a max number of users it can display...
either that or long names taking up multiple lines is causing some names to get left out.

God, with this I can finally justify a Psycho-Cannibal colony...

"It's for a good cause doc, we're gonna send that heart over to our friends!"

Update v0.7 is live !
It is mainly an improvement of the transmission of colonists. They keeps a lot more characteristics (physics, backstory, skills, traits, gear and inventory). The only thing that isn't transmitted is the health state. The game now asks you to accept items or colonists before sending them to you.
Full changelog is available here

You can download the new version via the links in the first post or via the Steam Workshop.

A listing of servers handled by an other player is available for those who want to make their own server and "advertize" it. There's even an RP server for those who are interested.

I don't know what it is but it is causing problems as I can not connect to the server
EDIT: Nvm about that, I had to restart the mod multiple times
How many times do I have to edit this?: The error happened again, I cannot connect to any servers while the error is happening... Weird

[Longwelwind]

It should be now fixed with v0.7.1
