Chat commands

Navigation: Configuration → Chat commands — route /chat-commands

Chat commands are the commands players and game masters type into the in-game chat, e.g. /post or /trade. Each of them is a plugin, and this page is both their documentation and their switchboard.

The list

ColumnMeaning
CommandThe command itself, e.g. /post
DescriptionIts name and what it does
UsageThe usage string, plus an expandable table of the parameters
Minimum character statusWhether a Normal player may use it, or only a GameMaster
ActionActivate/Deactivate and, if available, the command's configuration

The parameter table of a command shows, for each parameter, its name, short name, type, whether it is required, and the valid values it accepts.

Above the list you can filter by command text and by minimum character status — filtering by GameMaster gives you the list of admin commands your game masters have available.

Activating and deactivating

Use Deactivate to remove a command from your server, and Activate to bring it back. This is the place to switch off a command which does not fit your server's rules.

Who is a game master?

A command with the minimum character status GameMaster only works for accounts whose state is GameMaster or GameMasterInvisible. You set that state on the Accounts page.

On a freshly initialized Season 6 database with test accounts, testgm and testgm2 are game master accounts — see Test accounts.

Configuration

Some commands have their own configuration behind the ⚙ button, for example to change limits or messages. It is the same mechanism as for the other plugins.
