Quick Question About Preset Messages - Negatar - 02-26-2011

I would like all of my messages to begin with my pilots name and I cannot find out how to do it. I have looked at the Wiki message commands and I am blind or something - I am not finding the command I am looking for. Help please.

You have to type it each time.
Or with preset messages,

/setmsg [key] [name]:[message]

This helps a bit - I just know that I have seen folks that always seem to have their pilots name listed before they type anything. Does this mean they are using for example - /msg 0 and then start typing? If so it seems like folks are pretty fast at doing this.

Basically, people are just typing in their captain's name each time they talk. You can use setmsgs for some things, but you can't add on to a preset message.

For example, you can type this:
Code:
/setmsg 1 Cpt. Harris: Hello there!
Then do "/1", and you get this:
Quote:[your-ship-name]: Cpt. Harris: Hello there!
But you can't just type:
Code:
/setmsg 1 Cpt. Harris
Then do "/1 Hello there!" to get the same result. Doing that will probably either just get you this:
Quote:[your=ship-name]: Cpt. Harris:
Or nothing at all.
