Treijim:
Sometimes a server with lots people talking gets very confusing. Is it at all possible to create a mod or something where messages only come up if that person is near you and/or in your sight? There could also be a scrambler to mess up distant messages a bit, since you wouldn't be able to hear them properly.

For example, standing in front of you: "Hello, how are you?"

15 blocks away: "H..llo.. h..w a.... ..ou?"

30 blocks away: "....l.. ....w ...... ..o...."

Or something. There could also be a shout thing to propel your voice, but you can only do it once every five seconds. Of course, editable settings would be available. What does everyone think?

*can't help but feel this is in the wrong section*
Teneksi:
I think something like this has been made, but as part of an RP system which could interfere with things. I think I'd like to see that feature isolated.

I don't like the idea of a "scrambler", I think that it would just make the chat even more confusing to try to read.

Not a bad idea.
Liquid:
Basically, what Eksi said.
I would really like to have a single mod like that, but I'm not sure about the scrambler idea.
And don't worry, it's in the right section.
Treijim:
I only thought of a scrambler because the difference between hearing and not hearing someone is extreme yet could be an issue of one square's distance. Any idea what mod it exists in?
phflack:
what about doing this in a minigame, but without the scrambler idea, so it's just unheard after a 16 brick radius, but to connecting people, they can hear all of it?
