Request - Second/Multi display monitor chat dialog window

[Cripticcorp]

I am curious if it would be possible to create an additional/existing chat dialog box that would be displayed on a second monitor for those multiple display setups.

My setup is a 55" led/lcd Tv with a small table to my right holding a old small 22" lcd monitor, I run the game in borderless windowed mode on the primary 55" tv. This allows me to easily use the second display for web searches,watching videos, etc.

I am wondering if anyone might be able to make essentially a duplicate of the chat box that will display on the second screen, or even the existing chat box being able to drag it over to that display.
Ideally it would be the existing chat dialog box and tabs simply dragged over to the screen with extended options such as individual tabs per whisper/private msg, copy/paste functionality, Maybe a docking bar at the top or bottom for dragging over non vital add-on information such as Awesome info.

I attempted to find an address for the in game irc server with hopes of using Mirc or web based irc chat client but was unsuccessful, if someone knows the irc server and I can access it via 3rd party irc client it would ultamatly work. Although I would like something so we would not lose the functionality such as, clicking on an item posted in chat then the dialog/info/picture displaying.


Any help would be appreciated
Thank you.

If I understand you request correctly; we have no way to create a UI element that can escape the confines of the ESO User Interface frame (the client application).

Currently, ZOS does not allow for elements from within the game screen to become Pop-Out applications that can reside on the user desktop.

The In-game chat system is using LUA scripting and is confined with in the client stream, so would not be accessible via the OS or other applications.

Thank you, I thought as much but I figured I would ask just in case.

I could follow up by asking if we enabled EyeFinity and stretched it to both displays could we maintain the same resolution/aspect ratio on the primary display and then some default background/extension/Filler of the games "border" to the secondary?
Basically it would be stretching the game to both displays but leaving a blank/filler on the secondary display that I could then drag Addons/chat over as I pleased?
Sorry I am extremely bad at explaining things plus I am very sleep deprived right now.
Not sure if EyeFinity is supported, I should have done my homework before asking.

Thanks again,
Michael

If you would enable the image to be shown on both monitors it would need to render with the appropriate resolution then, I guess.
If your GPU is able to handle this you could try to enable a dual-monitor setup. But the image would be shown stretched over both monitors. It wouldn't only show the ingame graphics (enemies, background, cities, etc.) to the left one and the right monitor would be "ingame" too but showing nothing then a black background (where you could drag&drop your chat then).

I don't think this would be possible.

I've played quite a few games that way, using 1.3 screens. I kept my chat on the .3 part (to left or right of main screen) and rarely got anything confused.

Not sure how this would work with differing resolutions/sizes, as text that would be HUGE on a 55" display would be barely legible on a 22" one.
