Inspired by BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet#5169 and BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet#5417 and @nmajask.

Pilots "typing indicators" for players, showing when they're typing. Yes this is "typebait: now a feature", don't know how it's going to fly on yogs but it's worked on bee for over six months, plus yogs mins dont really play around and will rapidly people's elbow you if you're being a shitter and abusing it

nmajask showed me the PR and instead of porting it along with it's fix, i thought it would be better to try to code it from scratch from what yogs has to offer and how yogs deals with these overlays, along with trying to avoid the latency fix in the first place by not handling it in the same way. If this doesn't work, expect nmajask's port soon after.

Please make this configurable in the settings like it is on other servers. I don't want people knowing when I'm typing all the time. Other than that, very cool stuff.

Does this work for the TAB bar talk or just the talk popup?

i dont think the client sends any information typed into the bottom bar until enter is pressed, either way - no

Finally i get to know if the person staring at me is responding or is actually just pumped full of fluoride

i know this will make it easier for typebaiters but love that i can know when a conversation ends so i dont feel bad about shooting someone

ehhhh, just port the beestation thing, those guys are cool

seemingly it also only applies to people who were near you when you started talking?

beestations code is tacked on, if their message bubble is generated the same as ours then it generates the typing bubble in a totally different way.

Also I don’t agree with making a custom clientside window to fix the latency issue

and yes it only applies to people near you when you start talking because it’s generated in the same way that the normal bubbles are generated
