Main channel without atcommand

[akrus]

Hi,

I did a small patch for rAthena, that allows to send a message to main channel using:

.message

Special thanks for this idea to Yor & Freya

Files modified:

atcommand.c

mainchannel.diff

huh ? what mean by using

.message

can elaborate more on this ?

[akrus]

Instead of typing @main message

you may just use .message

DOT is a poor choice of letter for this in my opinion. Messages where players start with ellipses will become part of mainchat very often. For example:

... but i don't want to do that

It's a fairly common thing it to use. This doesn't mean I don't like the idea after all, I just think that there could be a better letter for it.

There is no need for this you can just do

1. @main <-- to activate main chat

2. PM "Main" (no quotes)

3. send your message to it.

4. problem solved you are now able to send main messages without commands.

Well, it can simply be changed, there's a variable for this. Dot is just the symbol Freya had.

Typing four symbols instead of one is not the same if you have to quickly type something. And there's where a typo may appear

the "Main" nick is always free to change in conf/ folder then change it to "." if you dont want "Main". easy right?

Not really, you still have to press Tab key twice.
