How many chat windows do you have?

[Envane]

Just curious how many chat windows you have open and for what fitters? I normally have 2-3. 1 is always auctions in case I go to EC, 1 is all chats, and the other is spells etc.

Does anyone separate these out anymore?

3

1 for guild/group/shout/ooc, 1 for OTHER's melee hits/auction/other, And one chat window that is the width of Numbers/"Miss" to show my own damage.

I also use tell windows

Chat - Left
Main Chat (default) - Middle
Combat Chat - Right

On my melee dps characters I have a hit damage window between main chat and combat chat. Which shows only the melee damage number.

For auctions I keep it on my main chat, unless i'm searching for items/sales in EC. Then I'll make a temp window for auctions.

Main Chat
My Combat
Guild
Group
Say/Tell
Junk Window

My eyesight wouldn't be good enough for more than 2. One for chat channels and one for the rest.

pretty much this

Normally, just the one Main Chat. Though it depends on which class I'm playing. Melee chars I move combat text to a second window. Pet classes have a Pet Hits window. Basically, I move stuff that "spams" Main Chat to other windows so I can keep up with "real" chat. I also always have others' hits/misses filtered out.

1 for /gu & /g (and tells for non-buffing classes, tell windows for buffers)
1 for all other channels + system messages
1 for spells + crits + discs
3 tiny hitsmode windows for: my hits, pet hits, other hits + DS spam

How do you get the chat window to only show the damage number?

Right click and it's under the "hitsmode" options. Make sure you don't make the window too small - if it tries to show text and can't because it's too small eqgame.exe will crash.
