 You can chat with your opponents during a networked game. When someone has sent a message, a chat bubble icon will appear at the corner of your screen. Opening/Closing The Chat Window - Press or press and select 'Chat Window'. Sending A Message - After opening the chat window, enter text in the text field and press the 'Send' button. Emoticons - The following emoticons are available in chat:  Expressive Chat Bubbles Yelling - type or at the beginning of your message. Thinking - type or at the beginning of your message. Whispering - type or at the beginning of your message. The username should be the username of the buddy you wish to whisper too. A whisper is only viewed by the buddy you whisper to. Hint: You need not type the entire username of the buddy as long as you enter enough characters for it to match to a unique player name. For example, you have to type to whisper to a player with the username 'bobby' if there is also a player with the username 'bonnie'. Typing just or would not be successful since more than one user name starts with the same characters of 'bo'. Notes - Make sure to use the angled brackets around the keyword to use expressive chat bubbles. - In games where whispering would constitute cheating, whispering will be disabled during the game, but will be available both before and after the game. Font Size And Timestamps - Press and select 'Settings'. Here you can change the chat font size and toggle the display of time stamps on and off. |
