Introduction

For those who don't know, /Away creates a nice away message that informs people who contact you in game when it's set. It works as a nice little script but it's quite limiting to what you can do with it. I have a few things that will improve it's usage and I would like to see implemented.

1. Save the away message upon closing osu!

  • It would be helpful if you didn't have to retype an away message each time you needed to make one. Some people like to put thought into their away messages, and not saving them to file upon closing osu! just limits the extent and creativity people can use with /away. Actually it should save as soon as you set the message.
2. Include a way to access and view the away message without having to toggle it on/off

  • This includes but is not limited to showing the away message set in options. I think we should be able to set away message through options. I assume you need to be logged into bancho to set the message currently. Having us be able to view and edit the message without requiring connectivity with Bancho would be ideal, and just proper in general.
3. Marking as being away should actually show your status as being AFK.

  • If we can't have a hidden/invisible mode, could you compromise and let /away show us as AFK. It would at least stop people from messaging you when you really don't want to be bothered.
4. Kind of small and unimportant but a command to reset the away status akin to /away reset.

  • It would be useful to clear your away status in case you accidentally forget to change it the next time you go on.

I totally support this. Would be nice to have some way to "prevent" someone from spectating you aswell.

It should also remember if you get disconnected from bancho
I mean if you already activated the away status.

god dam i hate it when that happens :<
i think the first idea could be made for dc's, not closing osu! and the 3rd would be interesting.

with the 3rd one though, if you started mapping/modding/playing/spectating, would your status then change again, or stay as afk?
