why does it still say that?

That is why I mentioned it in the video.

but my guess is they are not updating the doc as they make changes. This should be done to make more people use this. But, it is what it is.

Take 2:30 from your vid. downlords client chat is filled with 16 messages, the other one has 36.

Same, that's like the only serious downside, makes #aeolus life really difficult.
P.S. Same for the userlist, actually even more so for the userlist probably, it's really meh if i put my client on 2nd not that big monitor and can't see all the friends at the same time. Ah and also even tho friends have their own category I would much prefer having them colored like in faf on top of this. Especially to distinguish their messages from masses during aeolus spam, thats like an essential thing.

I believe you can color tag individuals. Which makes individuals all the more distinguishable.

But hey, good work!

Like I said. Quickly. Lol
I was honestly too lazy to render a new intro. Good feedback though, thanks biass. Soon I'll get the delivery down.

I actually find the spacing more visually pleasing. Yes there's less information at a glance, but my middle finger is already on the scroll wheel. Might as well use it. Plus, I like the dichotomy between player messages.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Just trying to help where I can. Looking into port forwarding. That may be my next video. We'll see.

Let me know what you guys need and I'll look into making content for it.

Well that's why I made this. I'm starting a playlist that explains things visually for the lazy people (I'm one of those, I'd rather watch than read). It would help player adoption by simplifying things.

Might start on a port mapping "how to" video. we'll see if time allows it.
