Admin Notice: How to create your own infocard - Cannon - 05-27-2010
I have added two experimental commands to the server. These commands let you create your own infocard like the one below. When somebody targets your ship and types /showinfo, your infocard is shown.

Administrators can also include text at the end of the infocard and we might use this to make special role play approvals more visible.
Viewing a player infocard
To use /showinfo, target a ship and type /showinfo. To see your own infomation, type /showinfo me.
Making a player infocard
To setup a player infocard use the /setinfo command. This command has the following parameters:
/setinfo <paragraph number> <command> <text goes here>
<paragraph number>: The paragraph the following command and text applies to. Valid paragraph numbers are 1 to 5.
<command>: 'a' for append to the paragraph and 'd' to delete all text in the paragraph
<text goes here>: duh
Limitations
- The number of letters is limited to about 1000. This might need to be reduced.
- Part of the hud will blank out when you type /showinfo.
- The escape key doesn't work to close the window.
I'll leave it to you guys to help improve this article. Suggestions welcome. Post usage examples!

One question - Is the infocard account specific, or character specific ?
I.E. Can you have different infocard on all 5 ships on an account ?

Ingame command info says only paragraph 1-4 is possible.

Awesomesauce! Now I have so much writing to do. And we had our own advertising space.
Um, could there be a shorter command than /showinfo? Like /si? Would a command like that work as a preset message?
