Is there any way to get messages in multiple chat windows?

[Goldom111111111]

I can't find one. I want group chat to show up in two windows simultaneously. When I check the box in one, it clears in the other. You can do this with chat channels, but I can't get it to work with normal message channels. I asked in game and people said I think you can... but with no further help. Searching didn't help me either. Anyone?

I know you can do this, as I've done it in the past, if I recall correctly I added one line to a file in the eq2 folder, but I can't remember what it was :/

I dont think you should have to do that much work. I have two chat windows: Chat and Melee. Whenever a game announcement is made, it broadcasts in both chats. I never had to do anything to get it that way, even though I can change it if I want.

I don't mean announcements, I just mean normal channels like group chat, etc. I normally want it in my big main chat box that I share with combat text. However, when in large groups with lots of combat text, I want it to also show up in a small box to the side so I don't have to scroll back to see it - but still want it appearing in the normal window so that I notice someone said something. This let me do that, couldn't without it.

I have 3 text windows with at least 3 tabs each. These tabs are Combat, Guild, Group&Raid, Tells, Auctions&OOC, NPC, Loot&co, System, and more I don't remember the others. You just have to manage and put your tabs up to view the 3 tabs you want.

Thanks for finding this!  I had been trying to do this for awhile.
