This is the code for the lobby text box where text shows up. However, it won't show up the way we want it to because it needs to be input from the other box below it. hmm...


I think I can fix the text part, but I dunno about fixing the dimensions/position. I don't know how it would scale with larger resolutions than 800x600. I'll keep looking.

Not sure how many lines you can do, but whatever.

Is it a good thing that it shows up everywhere? It should be a moveable addon, just like Omen on WoW.

[Kingston]

if you put it in CharSelection.xml It will show everywhere, ill fix the code when i have my server fixed up again.
