Chat Interface

Chat Interface is CIT's in game channel manager. It is opened with J and lets players switch between chat channels, manage which chats appear in the chatbox, enable message beeps, and copy lines with the built in line selection tool.

It is also opened with:

/tabchat

Channel Manager

The J chat interface is the main place for viewing and managing many CIT chat channels in one panel.

It lets players:

  • switch between chat channels
  • choose whether a channel shows in the main chatbox
  • enable message beeps for a channel
  • use line selection to copy text
  • quickly access support, trading, organization chats, country chats, and more

How to open it

To open the chat interface:

  • press J
  • or use /tabchat

Main functions

The J chat interface provides:

  • Show in Chatbox
  • Beep on Message
  • Line Select

Unread message counts

The J chat interface shows unread message counts on channels.

Show in Chatbox

Show in Chatbox controls whether the selected channel is also shown in the normal chatbox.

If you are missing chat messages, a common fix is:

  • open J
  • open the correct channel
  • make sure Show in Chatbox is enabled

Beep on Message

Beep on Message enables a sound notification for the selected channel.

Line Select

Line Select is the same system as:

/lineselect

When enabled:

  • hold LCTRL
  • select the lines you want to copy
  • release LCTRL
  • the selected lines are copied to your clipboard

To copy an entire grid list full of text:

  • select any line
  • hold LCTRL
  • right click the line

Channels in the J chat interface

There are 25 channels:

  • Support

Related chat systems

The J interface works alongside several normal chat commands and systems.

Examples include:

  • /sup [question] for support
  • /main [message] for Main Chat
  • /localchat [message] for Local Chat
  • /gc [message] for Group Chat
  • /sc [message] for Squad Chat
  • /uc [message] for Unit Chat
  • /ac [message] for Alliance Chat
  • /fmsg [message] for Friend Message
  • /sms [player] [message] for private messages
  • /ignore [player] to ignore a player
  • /lineselect to enable line selection

Missing chat messages

If you think a chat channel is not appearing properly:

  • open J
  • open the correct channel
  • enable Show in Chatbox

This is the normal way to make sure the selected channel also appears in the main chatbox.

Use /showchat to hide or show the whole chatbox. If hidden, press F8 and type showchat. The chatbox is temporarily hidden while F11 is open, but closing the map does not restore chat hidden with /showchat or /cinemamode.

Chat Interface Notes

  • The J interface is the same system opened by /tabchat.
  • It is used for both reading channels and controlling how they behave in your chatbox.
  • Not every chat system in CIT is typed directly through J, but J is the main interface for managing many of them.

Screenshot-backed UI facts

Chat rooms, room member lists and room-management controls are in CIT Messenger, opened with F10 or /messenger.
