Command line
Tools
A command line tool is a command that you type directly into the message
box. The following commands are supported: |
| /me {action} |
Allows you
to post a message as an action. For example:
/me says hello
Would result in the following output if your handle was 'Bob':
* Bob says hello |
| /roll
{# of dice} {# of sides} |
Generate
one or more random numbers for use as dice. For example:
/roll 1 20
Would result in the following output if your handle was 'Bob':
-- Bob has rolled 1 dice with 20 sides. Results: 7 |
| /laston
{username} |
Will display
the last time a user has chatted. For example:
/laston bob |
| /msg {username}; {message} |
Lets you send a Private Message to someone else currently logged into the chat. For example:
/msg Bob; Hey, lets go see what is going on in the Inn!
Would send a message to Bob that only he can read. |
| /memo
{username}; {message} |
Allows you
to send a memo to a user who is not presently online. When the user comes
online, they will be notified of their waiting memo, and given instructions
on how to view it. For example:
/memo Bob; Hi Bob sorry I missed you! Let's meet tonight at 10.
Make sure you put a semicolon after the character's username. |
