MsgTalk

This message is sent from the game client to send a message to other players, or sent from the game server to receive a message from another player. Messages can also originate from the server as SYSTEM and be can be addressed to ALLUSERS for messages sent to all players.

The following text messages can be sent by the game server to control the client before sign-on completes.

• NEW_ROLE (Login attribute): Opens the character creation screen after receiving MsgConnect.
• ANSWER_OK (Login / Register attribute): Character was created or the character exists.

Text attributes are used to control where the message appears in the client. For example, the text channel it appears in, as a system message in the top left corner, an announcement across the screen, etc. Text styles can also be used to add flare to messages; however, Conquer Online doesn't use this.

When constructing the string packer, character names remain the same length (max 16 characters). The max length for a message is 256 characters, and the max emotion is 16 characters.
