Display a message in the player view

[Mike Pirnat]

Sometimes the DM has to read some horrible, barely-pronounceable NPC name and the players will ask “huh” and “what” and “how do you even spell that” and it’s all rather a drag.

It would perhaps be better if the DM could issue a message from the shell and have it display in the player view. This probably means:

• a new command to issue a message
• adding the message to the player view json
• displaying the message from the json in the player view
• a command to remove the message from the player view (this might just be the first command with no other input data)

Something like:

message Hello world!
Okay, message sent.
message
Okay, message cleared.
