Voice-Emotes, Racial Languages, and Summon-speak.
Thanks to the folks at DM-FriendlyInitiatives (DMFI), we have a set of Voice-Emotes, Racial Languages, and Summon-speak. Basically, when you're within the earshot of a NPC, you can perform a number of actions with your spoken text (eliminating the unnatural hassles for activating an emote wand to 'greet' et cetara).
Voice *emotes*
--------
The * (asterisk) character activates emotes when in the beginning
position. You can use this to do certain emotes by just typing the emote between asterisks. Try *pray*, for example. The *emotes* search for a sub-string, so you can type in *pray* *prays to Pelor* *fervently prays*, etc. to have the same effect. A comprehensive list is below.

Racial Languages
--------
To speak the language, type:
/dm [What you want to say in brackets]
PCs can automatically speak their racial language (or class language, if they are human) by default)... just type while within earshot of an NPC. They can also understand their racial language/class language by default.
Asterisks toggle the translation, thus allowing you to say things in Common or signify emotes. For example:
/dm [Hello, there, *Treewalker*, how are you? *giggle*]
will be translated as:
gibberish *Treewalker* gibberish *giggle*.
When you are within earshot of someone who is speaking a different language, your character will see the translated text in the server window (the right chat box). If you cannot understand the language (i.e. you are not of the correct race or you do not have the appropriate language widget), your character makes a Lore check against a DC of 20 to see if he/he knows what language is being spoken.
Summon Speak
--------
You can use ; to make your companion talk.
For example, if I wanted to get my familiar to say "Ruff!", then I'd type:
/dm ;Ruff!
This allows you to have your familiar interact with others without having to
possess the familiar. It also allows summons and animal companions to have speech.
Particular credits goes to Dopple, Jhenne, Splith, Robert Bernavich,
Archaegeo, and hahnsoo at DMFI for this set of widgets that immensely opens up the horizons for role-playing.

PC Languages have been updated.
They now require a three letter code rather than a 2 letter code to activate them.
These are:
const string LANGK_ELF = "ELF";
const string LANGK_GNM = "GNM";
const string LANGK_HLF = "HLF";
const string LANGK_DWF = "DWF";
const string LANGK_ORC = "ORC";
const string LANGK_GOB = "GOB";
const string LANGK_NML = "NML";
const string LANGK_ROG = "ROG";
const string LANGK_DRU = "DRU";
There are others to be discovered.
Type in -? to get a list of languages your character knows.
Type in /help to get assistance on any of the / commands available to your characters. |
Purpose in life: finding better ways of allowing players to kill themselves. Repeatedly.
