cloak of darkness

is there a way to have it so i can see my character rather than just being, a black cloud... lol

i got told theres a / command for it
and does this make it so other players see me also?

I've never heard of a / command undoing the effects of cloak of darkness.

If it really bugs you that much, turn it on only when you want stealth. If you have leaping, Combat Jumping's immob protection should get you by with little trouble.

maybe i mistaked it for cloak of fear?

It sounds like you are looking for these commands.

I say sounds like because these commands will remove the majority of graphical effects that are on your character. This includes all Dark Armor toggles and all buffs a teammate my apply to you, such as Force Field bubble, Thermal Radiation shields, or Cold Domination shields.

There is a big catch though. Any affect that completely obscures you character will cause your character to disappear entirely. This includes Cloak of Darkness and Granite Armor. I presume it includes Overload but I have not tested it nor heard of anyone testing it.

There is a weak/psuedo workaround. Costume auras will not be suppressed by this command. So instead of a dust cloud with a red halo and/or ghoulish skulls floating about you would simply see some sparkles, or some star bursts. I repeat, you would not see your character. You would only see your characters costume aura. If you don't have a costume aura you simply will not see your character at all.

I know the command does not work on Will Power effects. Babs is aware of it, but since WP effects are so benign I doubt any priority will be placed on the issue.

I created macros for the commands. I typically run with all the effects turned off, but I'll turn them back on if I expect to do a lot of stealthing about.
