something at the start of our text bar or on the chat window, a dot or anything, to show if youre in local or global chat before you have to do /l or /g would be good
if youve not typed for a while you forget, and if you change worlds it changes sometimes so

well when you do /L or /g, you get the message in chat saying your currently active chat, so some kind of latch for that? then when you world change, do /g automatically to guarantee the toggle works?
 
I don't think I understand what you mean. What has your current server to do with this?

No problem to send a chat message when you do /l or /g. But that is quickly scrolling up, so no help when you forgot your channel.

i find if im in /l on one world, then jump, i'm sometimes in /g, so i thought your chat was tied to your world somehow
 
I think your chat channel is tied on individual servers. I don't think VentureChat is doing any chat channel synchronization across servers. That's something we could work on. But doesn't sound very simple. I guess it would end up rather far down my todo list.
A simple solution could be to send a chat message telling you about your channel when switching servers.

yep just a ping when you switch saying the same thing that happens when you /l or /g:)
 
I saw another server do this really well, where they used custom textures to offset/shift down special characters from the action bar (a.k.a. title) to display a small indicator to the left of your hotbar that would tell you what channel you were currently in. I can't recall the action bar being used much on MCME outside of very niche situations that affect a mere fraction of the community, but if it isn't being used by any other plugins I don't see a reason why this couldn't work, if deemed "necessary".
 
I'm having a go at implementing this. So far I've got a plugin which shows my active VentureChat channel in the action bar, now to play around with negative spacing in a RP to get the offset
