Update: New Chat System!

[Alec 269]

We've updated to the new Chat System (Roleplay Essentials for LotC)! There has been some confusion lately as to how the whole system works. I'm here to clear that up!

For in-game commands, type /roleplay

Use that command if you need a quick reference, but I recommend reading this completely so you are not left confused.

-Joining or Leaving channels-

When you start out, you'll notice you are in every channel you have access to. To leave chats like wandering soul or ooc, you'll type.

/leave ws

/leave ooc

If you want to join OOC again, simply type

/join ooc

-Focusing on Channels-

To focus on a channel, simply type it's command without the arguments. Here are some examples.

/w

/rp

/s

/looc

/ooc

/ws

Very simple. Every time you talk after this point, you'll talk in that channel.

-Temporarily Talking-

If you just want to do a quick message in any channel, you must actually be in a channel. Type the commands above, but with an argument. This will not focus you on the chat, but you'll simply message within it.

/ooc I'm temporarily talking in OOC.

Another form of temporarily talking is by typing with ((

That will send a temporary message in Local OOC.

-Emotes-

Emoting is now better than ever.

* will cause you to emote. Within emotes, I've featured some handy features that will make Roleplaying cleaner! Here are some examples of what you can do.

If you like quotation marks in your emotes, you might just like what I call a Quotation Chatstyle. I've seen many Roleplayers use this in the past. The problem was that it was hard to distinguish what's being said from what's being emoted.

To enable this mode, type /roleplay chatstyle

It's almost like chatting with emotes. It will automatically replace any instances of quotation marks with white text, to represent you speaking.

Don't go around talking while using this chatstyle unless you plan on actually using quotation marks! (or if you're playing a mute)

Typing /roleplay customcolors

will default all colors to Yellow for you, as a personal preference.

Typing /roleplay chatcolor

will change your emote color to whatever you choose. This ONLY applies if you have customcolors on.

That pretty much covers everything for the chat update! There will surely be changes to the system in the future, and all feedback is very welcome.

OH! And with these new recipes, if you manage to discover any of them, please share them In Character! Even if you're sharing it with a stranger. :)

I dont get it...

Also please add the craft recipies... unless you want to let us find it out in game....

I, for one, am quite pleased with the changes. And the additional of the banhammer. For too long has this been lacking.

Bug: Wandering Souls are able to post in the WSC, but not read messages in it.

Fixed ten seconds after I posted.

[Lirinya 4021]

Why would you unban Akorta..

[Rom 59]

Quotation chat... Finally! Thank'ya very much Alec!

[SkyyoBee 249]

I've been playing around with the chat and I love it! I would love to see the crafting recipes for the items with new recipes, but I am sure you are working on it now.

I have a bug that the emote, and talk text colours are the same, even after changing them with /roleplay customcolor

Nobody else seems to have this bug, and since I have temp GM perms for filming I was wondering if it was to do with that.

EDIT: The talk chat text from others is normal white.

I would also like to see these recipes up (and I mean every new/altered recipe that is IG such as chainmail, mossy coble, etc.) at least on the wiki so we can access them at any time.

[Dargene 51]

Woo this is awesome! thanks and good work.. can we haz recipes ? :3

[gabriel101x1 463]

To all people asking for recipies.

Figure tham out yourselves :wink:

Some people have already discovered a few of the recipies, they are quite logical.

/roleplay customcolor isn't a command. Try looking at the commands again.

Looks to me like you're in /roleplay chatstyle (quotation mode). Type that again to toggle it back to default.

Sorry. I used /roleplay chatcolor

I just typed it wrong here :P

EDIT: Fixed. Now I see, I thought you had to have quotation chatstyle turned on in order to use quotations in emotes. Derp. Thankyou.

Sorry, but chainmail and mossy cobble won't be getting their own recipes. Some items need to be obtainable elsehow, right?

And sorry to disappoint you further, but leaking out recipes is the last thing I'll do. It spoils the fun of discovery. :)

I'm frustraded that emotes didn't work.. i sure hope they do now!

Good job!

Figure it out it's not that hard.
