Phase L.0 (cont.) — fourth tab on the Settings shell. Mixes retail's
CharacterOptions2 chat-channel filter bits (Hear*Chat / TimeStamp /
FilterLanguage / AppearOffline) with a font-size slider that has no
retail bitfield equivalent.
ChatSettings record (9 fields):
· 5 channel filters: HearGeneralChat, HearTradeChat, HearLFGChat,
HearRoleplayChat, HearSocietyChat
· 3 display flags: ShowTimestamps, FilterProfanity, AppearOffline
· 1 visual: FontSize (10..20 pt)
Local-only this phase per the brainstorm — Hear*Chat flags affect
client-side display filtering only; the server still streams every
channel. Server-sync arrives later when the protocol round-trip is
in place.
SettingsStore grows LoadChat / SaveChat using the existing generic
SaveSection helper. All four non-keybind sections (display, audio,
gameplay, chat) now coexist non-destructively in settings.json.
SettingsVM grows the parallel chat state machine. HasUnsavedChanges,
Save, Cancel, ResetAllToDefaults all cover chat. Constructor signature
adds two more params; existing call sites updated.
SettingsPanel.RenderChatTab replaces the L.0-shell placeholder —
8 Checkbox calls grouped under "Channel filters" + "Display"
headers, plus a font-size SliderFloat. The "Coming soon" placeholder
test was retargeted from "Chat" to "Character" since Chat is no
longer a placeholder.
GameWindow wires SettingsStore.LoadChat / SaveChat + a TODO comment
for the future ChatPanel filter integration (read SettingsVM.ChatDraft
when filtering inbound chat lines).
13 new tests:
· ChatSettings record (3) — defaults pinned, value equality, with-
expressions
· SettingsStore chat (3) — missing-file → defaults, round-trip, all
four sections coexist
· SettingsVM chat (5) — initial draft, SetChat marks dirty, Save
invokes callback, Cancel reverts, ResetAllToDefaults covers
· SettingsPanel chat tab (2) — checkboxes + slider render only when
active
