Messaging user commands updated - Cannon - 06-21-2009
Have updated the message related user commands.
/pm <charname>
Sends private message to a character. It will be stored in their mailbox if they are not online.
/pm$ <clientid>
Same as /pm but the character is determined using the client-id. The player has to be online for this to work. You can find a list of client-ids by typing /ids.
This command checks your mailbox for messages and can be used to view your messages.
/maildel
The command deletes a message from your mailbox.
Command filtering
Any chat text starting with '/' or '.' will not be repeated to private or system chat (except '//' *sigh*). This means you can safely use /drawcash when you're in system chat without accidentally telling everybody your password.
Command echoing
Most user commands (i.e. starting with /) are echoed back to your console so you can see what you typed. The exceptions to this are /local, /system, /target and their short variants.
Showing your location
If a preset message contains '#c' then this will be substituted with your ship's approximate map location. For example, if you setup a preset message like:
/setmsg 1 Neural-network communications test. Transmitting from approximately #c
And then type '/1' and it'll send on the system chat:
Cannon: Neural-network communications test. Transmitting from approximately G-7
Wiki authors! Update the wiki please.

I'll let you know if I have any problems, but this all looks great.

Fantastic! The location coordinates one I can see using a LOT to cry for help and to announce intruder locations.
Thank you very much

One question, will the console prompt you when you log in if you have any messages stored?

For some reason, echoing is still on for local, for me at least.

If only the '/' commands didn't echo a couple of days ago *sighs*
I had to go and change the draw cash code on all my chars...
Anyways, I had the same question as JakeSG
