Think of it as being a councel member of an allegiance with 6000+ characters under the monarch. Think of it as also receiving numerous @tells about things in your allegiance from people not in your allegiance, because people know your name and know you're a councel member in that allegiance. Think of it as being in a fellow watching fellow chat, general chat, trade chat, allegiance chat, and all those @tells we just thought about a minute ago.
Anything that helps me reply with a reply I'd have given anyway, while all that's going on, is one of the biggest helps in the game for me. I do like to congratulate people for their accomplishments, but because of how often I'm online, there's a lot of people who actually get upset when I don't congratulate them. I'd rather grat everyone, while they still know I'm there, then piss off some people because I didn't see it at all.
PS- I don't like general messages, so the config I use is 100% from scratch and can be quite comical.
Belle:
Here's a small snippet from my config. The only thing this will do is automatically say "Grats" when people say "I am now level X!", "Blank is now level X!", or "
ou are now level X!" in allegiance chat or fellow chat.
*Note: You will need to tell each of these 4 options which number (1, 2, 3) corresponds to the action it should take. Because I don't already know what might be in your config. Once you've added the "Actions" below this and number them, you should then know what numbers to have for these here.
C:\Program Files\Virindi Chat System\
Add this to your Filter.txt file:
[]<102,0>{orange}* says, "*am now level *!"
[]<102,0>{orange}* says, "*are now level *!"
[]<102,0>{orange}* says, "*is now level *!"
[]<102,0>{green}* is now level *!
Add this to your Actions.txt file:
[]</a Grats!>{gong.wav}%^
[]</f Grats!>{gong.wav}%^
You can also set it up to use people's names if you'd like. Each one of those *'s in the filter area can be recalled by your actions. So you could try something like,
[]</f Damn you $1 for leveling without me!>{gong.wav}%^
Then you'd say "Damn you (whoever leveled) for leveling without me!" into fellow.
Here's an example of how it works:
Mystical Fists is now level 275!
* is now level *!
Damn you $1 for leveling without me!
Damn you Mystical Fists for leveling without me.
Note that in the above example, I could also have used $2 and mentioned the 275 somewhere as well. There are a lot of variables like this that can be used in VCS, and they're all great. I don't recommend editing the config by hand unless you know how it works though. You should try to stick with the in game editor until you have more then a few options you've added yourself.
$$ single $
means placing two of those next to each other will allow you to have a normal dollar sign in your text
$n
Where n is a number from 1 to 9 and is explained in the example I just gave above.
$dy Date: Year
$do Date: Month
$dd Date: Day of month
$th Time: Hour
$tm Time: Minute
$ts Time: Second
$is Info: Current server
$ip Info: Server population at last login
$cn My Char: Name
$cm My Char: Monarch
$cr My Char: Race
$cv My Char: Vitae
EDIT:
Taco Belle is a legally blind monarch on LC. Couldn't imagine a better reason to have a plugin like this.
