Chat Commands (SIMTools Added 01-20-09)

Chat Commands will be added to this topic as they are created.
All commands will be preceded by !

SIMTools has been added to RotR. This contains too many additional commands and emotes to list.

Currently In-Game:
- !crawl (Toggles crawling mode. Will work in combat)
- !uptime (displays server uptime and reset information)
- !delayreset (this command will allow you to vote to delay the server reset for 20 minutes)
- !list emotes (Lists all emote commands)

Soon to be added:
- !drink (Will trigger the drinking animation on your character if you have a cup/mug/etc. equipped. If not equipped but exists in inventory then it will be auto-equipped and trigger the animation)
- !smoke (Will trigger the smoking animation on your character if you have a cigarette/cigar equipped. If not equipped but exists in inventory then it will be auto-equipped and trigger the animation)

I'd like to suggest that you change the ! to * since people tend to use those for action and can just do something like, *Drinks a bottle of bad wiskey.*

Thanks for the suggestion, but it will remain !. This was done for various reasons including preventing the commands from interfering with general emotes. These commands must be entered exactly as listed, saying "!drinks from a bottle" will simply display that in the chat window. Saying "!drink" will play the animation providing you meet the requirements and then eat the command so that it is not echoed back into the chat channel. Anyways why would you need to emote that you are drinking when your char actually appears to be physically drinking.

So you can emote exactly what you drinking. Per my example of cheap wiskey.

So you want everyone to know that you can't afford the good stuff? xD

Well what you can do is emote about your drinking then type !drink for the animation if you want.
It is optional to use them XD

Took the words right out of my mouth. These are not emote replacements but optional enhancements to the overall experience.

One I would suggest from the sim tools is the meta channel, it can be nice for communication for a faction without having massive parties, at least if the server gets large again

I have been looking into how SimTools was implemnted for precisely that reason though with the new communicators i'm thinking it won't be necessary.

Well would it be possible to have the communicator link more then two people?
The communicators are nice, but with only one on one it can't really work as a radio or something similar.

Faction communicator options will be looked into in the near future.

I can do that pretty easily, but you won't have the pretty holograms.

I'm not sure when I will have a chance, add it to my list

Updated: new command !uptime

This will display the amount of time the server has been running.

Updated: new command !delayreset

This will delay the automatic reset for 20 minutes. At least 2 players must vote for it to take affect (DM's count towards this).
This can only be used within 20 minutes of a pending reset.
