Mind Blown Games - Been There - Help - Chat Commands and Emotes

Last Edited: 11/16/2023

>>> Text Input Mode <<<

The Enter Key can be used to toggle between 'Game Play Mode' and 'Text Input Mode'. While in 'Text Input Mode', some of the keys normally used for game play are now used for entering text.

>>> Chat History <<<

A history is kept of the 20 most recent chat messages that have been sent. While in the 'Text Input Mode', you may use the Up and Down Arrow Keys to scroll through the current chat message history. When you reach the end of the history, a blank line will be displayed in the input text box. If no messages have been sent during the current session, the arrow keys won't do anything.

>>> Token Strings <<<

The '%' (percent symbol) is a reserved character. It can be used to define the start and end of a token string. Token strings can be embedded within any chat message. When a chat message is processed by the client, chat server and/or game server, the recognized tokens will be expanded into their full string representations. For example, the %ME% token becomes the name of the player's avatar, once expanded. Note that token strings are not case-sensitive. If a token is not recognized it will be left in the message, unchanged. This will allow you to include a '%' symbol within a regular chat message, if so desired.

>>> Chat Commands <<<

Chat commands can start with either a '/' (forward slash) character, or a '@' (at symbol) character. If the chat command character is not found at the beginning of the string, the character will be ignored. This allows you to use these characters in a normal chat message. Command names end with a space character (or the end of the line), followed by the command's parameters, if any. If the command accepts more than one parameter, they are usually delimited using the ',' (comma) character. However, note that some commands may require their own special syntax, above and beyond these requirements.
