[Feature request] ! as switcher to global channel

[Rozbiynk]

Can you make local channel as default, and when people type ! at the beginning of the message it switch to global?
For example, i type like normal in chat. It only seen people near me (local mode)
But when I type "!hello" the whole server sees this

Currently you can't, as the global channel isn't really a channel - but rather more like a hardcoded default chat (as this is how messages are normally sent in the game). Until now I've mostly just seen advancedchat channels as a rather simple way to reduce visibility of messages, all depending on the choices of the player (like there is also no way to force users to use one specific channel).

I might look at it in the future but this will probably need quite a large refactor.

How long? @Wesley1808

[Wesley1808]

Apologies for taking so long but I haven't really found any reason or motivation to work on this.
I'll try to take a look at in the coming few weeks but I can't really promise anything.

Hi, any updates? i think it can be expanded to "add way to give every channel short alies", so, for example, if i type "#hi guys" it will send message into "world" channel
