I'm currently working on the interface design for the chat window at the moment which is a fair bit of work to get it looking and working nicely. I did a poll a while back to find out whether people wanted individual windows for each chat or tabs for each chat within a single window (much like how the IRC works) and people seemed to prefer the tabs. I prefer windows though so I'm thinking I'll add an option to change this easily. Like I said before, chat functionality is already working on the server and I've done a bunch of tests with it already.
Implementing chat should just be a case of finishing the chat interface and then pointing server input/output to it. Getting tabs working is going to be a bit messy given that the chat windows are resizeable and I haven't decided whether I'll do it chrome style or RTB IRC-style. I really hate the arrows so something chrome-style would be nice. You just have to not talk to so many people at once.
Once the chat window is done, there will be a v4 beta featuring only the chat (all other v4 functionality won't be in the download - it'll just be chat for now) and those features will gradually get re-integrated.

This is kind of a stupid question, but say I got the beta. Then I needed to save it. Would I just save it over System_RTB?

He often suggests that you use it with a new copy of Blockland.
Yes, it would save over System_ReturnToBlockland

Oh come on, that was 11 pages ago. How do you expect me to see that?
Chrono:
Why did you ask anyways?
