akrus Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emistry Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 huh ? what mean by using .message can elaborate more on this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akrus Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Instead of typing @main message you may just use .message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjnumber1 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthlingz Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dot is just the symbol Freya had. There is no need for this you can just do 1. @main <-- to activate main chat 2.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthlingz Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) the "Main" nick is always free to change in conf/ folder then change it to "." if you dont want "Main". easy right? Edited April 11, 2012 by Earthlingz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akrus Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
