Question about Virtue

Haha!

First off, welcome to Virtue!
I've only been around a year and a half or so... But yeah, it's a great place and a good representation of CoH's fun community (In my opinion).

Just for the record, sometimes RPers break out of the whole bracket thing if the situation is clearly not an In-Character thing.

However, many of us do not.
I always use an OOC indication when I'm not talking IC.

Anyways...

More importantly, here is a cool bind IF you are at all interested (Or anyone else, for that matter):

/bind o "afk ((Speaking OOC))$$beginchat ((OOC)): "


Lemme 'splain...

Using ((OOC)): works just as well as (( blah blah blah )) or whatever else (Some people use plain old single brackets [ heya ] It really doesn't matter, people get the point).

Now... someone came up with the clever idea of creating a little bubble above your head when you are typing!
That way, people around you know that you are beginning to type something and that your character is in the process of saying something. It's a very cool little player-made feature.
And that bind offers that.
It simply uses the customizable afk message.
So, a little bubble sits over your head, indicating that you're saying something.

You can also put that into your ENTER key (If you think that idea is as cool as my sister's boyfriend's uncle's neighbor does).

/bind ENTER "afk talking$$beginchat "

Now... the text following "afk" can be anything you want (Within a limited number).

Some players use that to describe the sound of the character's voice, "speaks with a gruff voice"... or the manner in which they speak, "talks quickly, slurring some words"... an accent... Or some people just have some funny/cute ones... Like, "Is about to say something important..." or "Oh oh oh..." or "((This may take a while))"... LOL.


Anyways... Okay... I hope I didn't scare anyone away!!!

<.<

>.>




Haha... One last note... that RPer that wasn't using brackets just may have been looney OOCly.

Plenty of us are!! (As are plenty Non-RPers)


Welcome, once again. We won't bite! (Well, maybe watch out for the Pocket D dwellers... they might)

Nope, but I am confuzzled! But then again, I haven't even looked into binds at all yet. Heck, I haven't figured out what the different Global Chat Channels people mention are... I figure I may as well get to 50 before I figure out what I am doing!

Macros, binds, Virtue, and you! OK, now we're getting to the good stuff. When travelling through this part of Rome.. blend in, don't let the locals suspect you're fresh meat.

Haven't purchased any of the packs with costume emote changes? No worries, make your own. The macros below are an example of how to transition from one costume to the next using emotes or powers.

/macro Uniform "cc 1$$ em listenpoliceband"

Uniform > is just what the macro button is titled on your extra tray

cc 1 > is the costume you wish to change into. Costume slots are recognized as 0-4; cc 0 is your first costume, cc 1 is the second.. etc.

em listenpoliceband > use any emote

As for powers.. a bit niftier, more personal. May even stun your friends when the power customization coming in leaves you dripping in an azure aura of blinding fireballs. Oh we're still talking about macros.. sec.

afk

...

...

Back!

Try something like /macro LoveDoc "cc 1$$ powexec_name Nullify Pain"

powexec_name Nullify Pain > just dig through your powers tray and select the most spectacular, non-agroing power you have. Unless you're into that. Agro. Not so much if you're level 7 and running through Steel Canyon -to- the tailor. [censored] Hellions!

Whelp, that's it. Have fun.

What is OOC and what does it mean?

Out Of Character.

It means they are talking as themselves, not as their character would.

Out of Character should be self explanatory:

How art thou still breathing villain! ((so yeah was watching random BS last night and then....))
