Other Help

Other ACP System Help Formats:

/cts help - Help about available Companion Training System (CTS) commands.

Ammunition Management

Format:

/ammo parameter1

Ammunition management system allows the user to select a bag (or a specific stack) ammo is taken from when the current stack runs out, instead of relying on BioWare's auto-selector. The Ammunition Management System page has more details.

• Parameter1 (Must be included):

toggle - Toggles between disabling and enabling the different modes used by the ammunition management system.

queue - Queues a bag or stack of ammunition (must be selected using Player Tool 10 prior to this command).

combat - Toggles whether or not to disengage from combat when exhausting all queued ammunition, rather than falling back to the BioWare mode (using the next available unqueued stack of ammunition). Should the user re-engage combat without first equipping and queuing more ammunition, the system will fall back to BioWare mode without breaking combat, until the next stack is exhausted.

clear - clears/resets all ammo management settings

Example 1:

/ammo toggle - This will switch through "Disabling managed mode", "Enabling managed mode: Container based" and "Enabling managed mode: Tag based".

Example 2:

/ammo combat - If the current setting is "Remains in combat after exhausting queued ammunition", it will set it to "Exits combat after exhausting ammunition" (and vice-versa).

AMS

Format:

/ams parameter1 parameter2 parameter3 parameter4

Commands available to different Advanced Mage Specializations (AMS). All parameters are not required in every case (see the examples). These commands are only used if you have the specific AMS for the specific command, and the required level in it. See the AMS page for more information.

• Parameter1 (Must be included):

whitenecro - Toggles White Necromancy AMS between enabled and disabled. Can be specifically set by adding on or off as parameter2.

transmutant - Toggles Transmutant AMS between enabled and disabled. Can be specifically set by adding on or off as parameter2.

psimage or psi or psimagic - Depending on the parameters following this, it is used to enable/disable psionic augmentation, psionic energy substitution or psionic metamagic.

• Parameter2:

on - Sets White Necromancy or Transmutant AMS to enabled.

off - Sets White Necromancy or Transmutant AMS to disabled.

augment - If on or off is added as parameter3, this will enable or disable psionic augmentation. Unlike other AMS commands, there is no toggle between enabled and disabled, so the on or off parameter3 is required.

sub or element - Toggles the psionic energy substitution type specified in parameter3 between enabled and disabled. Can be specifically set by adding on or off as parameter4.

metamagic or meta - Toggles the psionic metamagic type specified in parameter3 between enabled and disabled. Can be specifically set by adding on or off as parameter4.

• Parameter3:

on - Sets psionic augmentation to enabled.

off - Sets psionic augmentation to disabled.

The following parameter3 commands for psionic energy substitution and psionic metamagic types are used to toggle between enabled and disabled. They can be specifically set by adding on or off as parameter4.

acid

cold

electric or electrical

fire

sonic

extend

empower

maximize

• Parameter4:

on - Sets the specified psionic energy substitution or psionic metamagic type to enabled.

off - Sets the specified psionic energy substitution or psionic metamagic type to disabled.

Example 1a:

/ams whitenecro - If the current setting for White Necromancy is enabled, it will set it to disabled (and vice-versa).

Example 1b:

/ams whitenecro on - Sets White Necromancy to enabled.

Example 2:

/ams psi augment on - Sets psionic augmentation to enabled.

Example 3a:

/ams psi sub electrical - Toggles the psionic energy substitution type electric between enabled and disabled.

Character Description

Format (without "[ ]" brackets):

/description parameter1 [text_description]

• Parameter1 (Must be included):

new - Changes a PC's description to the new [text_description].

add - Adds [text_description] to the existing custom description without adding a new line.

paragraph - Adds [text_description] to the existing custom description, after adding 2 line breaks (creates a blank line between the text).

restore - Reverts any custom descriptions changes, and restores a PC's original description.

Example 1 (New description):

/description new This is my new description. will change your description to "This is my new description.".

Example 2 (Add text to existing description):

/description add My added description text. will add "My added description text." to the existing description without adding a new line first.

• Tip: Normally you can't add line breaks from the chat line (unless you use \n or other special characters), but the paragraph parameter below will simplify the process.

Example 3 (Add new lines):

/description paragraph My new description paragraph. will add 2 new lines (\n\n) and then "My new description paragraph." to the existing description (as new paragraph).

Example 4 (Restore description):

/description restore will undo any changes to the original description (restores it).

Extra: You can even try colored ALT-codes and see if they work in the description. See: Goth Girl's Color Tag Creator V2 (+ Carcerian's Color Code Mini-Tutorial)

• Tip: You can also use the Self Examine (/self) command to see your description changes.

Chat

See Chat on the Avlis forums for more information (or use /help chat).

Main Chat Commands

Format (without "[ ]" brackets):

/chat [player or character name] [message] or /c [player or character name] [message]

/reply [message] or /r [message]

Chat is much like the Looking for Party (LFP) system, but for private messages across servers. Colors chosen with the /pcolor LFP command will apply to any /chat messages as well. You can also use the Player List /who command to find player/character (and DM) names on other servers.

• Use /chat (or /c) to send the player/character name your message. The first time you receive one of these from another player, a little tutorial message will pop up as well.

Note: You don't need to spell out the full name: any uniquely identifiable sub-string will work. E.g., /chat to [message] will match the names like Tor and Gortog, and send the message if there are no other names with that sub-string. If there are, a list of those matching names is returned instead.

• The /reply command will automatically designate the last player to send you a chat message, so no names need be entered. This is persistent across server transition (and when relogging).

Other Chat Commands

Format (without "[ ]" brackets):

/history [lfp] [number] or /h [lfp] [number] - Displays chat messages you’ve recently sent and received.

/pcolors - Displays all possible player name colors for LFP.

/pcolor [#] - Sets your player name to the color chosen (by number).

/ignore [player or character name] - Ignores (hides) chat messages from a specific player.

/unignore [player or character name] - Unignores (shows) chat messages from a specific player again.

/ignored - Lists the players you are currently ignoring.

• The /history command displays all chat messages you’ve recently sent and received. Like the LFP system, chat uses the server log to display messages, so the history command is useful when you suspect you've missed a chat in a torrent of combat messages.

The optional lfp parameter will show LFP history messages, as well chat ones. Bringing up the history for LFP messages also shows messages sent from before logging in, making it useful for getting right into crumping with a group that's already forming. This will work with the number parameter below.

The optional number parameter can limit (or increase) the message history output. By default, the /history command displays up to 25 of your most recent messages, but the number parameter changes that.

Note: that history is periodically purged (every 8 hours or so), so don't be alarmed if you don't see every message you've ever been sent.

• The /ignore commands that are part of LFP also work with the chat system. Players are not informed if you're ignoring them, so don't worry about offending anyone.

Example 1:

/chat Tor Heya! What's up? or /c Tor Heya! What's up? - Sends Tor Varson the message: "[CHAT] Your PC Name: Heya! What's up?" in his server window.

Example 2:

/reply There be nithlings in Zvid again. or /r There be nithlings in Zvid again. - Sends you the reply from Tor: "[CHAT] Tor: There be nithlings in Zvid again." in your server window.

Example 3a:

/history or /h - Displays the 25 most recent chat messages sent and received.

Example 3b:

/history 10 or /h 10 - Displays the 10 most recent chat messages sent and received.

Example 3c:

/history lfp 30 or /h lfp 30 - Displays the 30 most recent chat and LFP messages sent and received.

Example 4:

/pcolor 12 - Sets your player name color to the 12th one listed in /pcolors.

Example 5:

/ignore damar ogdem - Hides all messages from the player of Damar Ogdem (Sunscream).

Companion Training System (CTS)

See the Companion Training System Mechanics page for a description of all commands.

Dice Rolls

Format:

/roll parameter1 parameter2 parameter3 parameter4

Dice rolls using ACP have 4 available parameters. Parameter2 can be left out for saving throws and ability checks (only required for skill and dice rolls). Parameter1 and parameter4 have default values that don't need to be entered unless you want to change them (see the examples below and the parameter list for default values).

To make a roll only seen by DMs, private must be the first parameter, otherwise the roll result will be spoken in regular chat. The second parameter chooses between a save, skill or ability check, or doing an unmodified dice roll (redundant when doing a saving throw or ability check, so it can be left out for them). The 3rd parameter selects the type of save, skill, ability or dice size (This parameter is always required). The 4th parameter is used to set how many dice to roll only for an unmodified roll, if more than one is needed.

• Parameter1 (Default is public*): Private or public results.

private - This optional parameter will send the roll result to the DM channel only. If it isn't included, the results will be spoken in regular chat.

*There is no "public" parameter (it is assumed when private is not included) so do not try use it. The results will be unpredictable, and cause an error.

• Parameter2 (Required only for skill and dice rolls): Specify the type of roll.

save - Specifies the type of roll being made is a saving throw (optional when parameter3 is a valid save type).

skill - Specifies the type of roll being made is a skill check.

ability - Specifies the type of roll being made is an ability check (optional when parameter3 is a valid ability).

Example 2:

/roll save ref or /roll save reflex or /roll ref - roll a d20 with your reflex save modifier and speak the result in regular chat (see the parameter list for optional shorted versions of many commands).

Example 3:

Example 5b:

/roll dice d6 4 - roll 4d6 and speak the totaled result in regular chat.

Emotes

Format (without "[ ]" brackets):

/emote sit [chair]

Looking for Party

Main LFP Commands

Format:

Toggles "extended psionic dimension door"* between enabled or disabled. Parameter2 can be set to either on or off to force the setting, but isn't required. Only usable if you have the psionic power (including items), not the arcane spell by the same name.

"Extended psionic dimension door" creates placeable portal doors that remain as long as the caster has PsPs to maintain it, and can be used by any PC to go through. Only used for "psionic" dimension door, and not the arcane spell by the same name.

Examples:

/psi ddoor - If the current setting for "extended psionic dimension door" is enabled, it will set it to disabled (and vice-versa).

/psi ddoor on - This will set "extended psionic dimension door" to enabled.

Summon Planar Creature

/psi summon parameter2 or /psi spc parameter2

Sets the Good/Neutral/Evil alignment of the summoned creature, by setting parameter2 to one of the alignments. Setting parameter 2 to none results in a random summon from across the alignment spectrum.

Examples:

/psi spc evil - This sets the selection of summoned creature to only those of evil alignment

/psi spc good - This sets the selection of summoned creature to only those of good alignment

Ultrablast

/psi ultrablast parameter2

/psi ultrablast kill - Setting parameter 2 to kill or damage will incur damage to a knocked out target.

Psionic Augmentations

Note: These commands will not work in combat. They can be chained into a single command such that multiple Augmentations will apply to the next power (for increased PSP cost). Using 'harness' in a chained command reduces the PSP cost, it does not set it to zero.

/psi harness - Psion level 5+, triggers 'harness subconscious' (next attempted power has zero PSP cost). Can only be used once per rest.

/psi focus - Psion level 10+, triggers 'meditative focus' (next attempted power auto-passes the power check)

/psi prolong - Psion level 15+, triggers 'prolong' (doubles duration of next attempted power - only works if power has duration, Stasis Field is exempt)

/psi magnify - Psion level 21+, triggers 'magnify' (doubles effect size (e.g. damage) of next power - only works if power has an effect that can be doubled)

Examples of chained commands:

/psi prolong focus - next power both prolonged and auto-passes the power check

/psi prolong focus harness - as above, but with a reduce PSP cost

/psi meditate - places the Psion in meditation animation (for 1-10 rounds, syntax is /psi meditate [number of rounds])

Self Examine

Format:

/self

• Tip: Useful when editing your Character Description.

Speed Toggle

Format:

/speed_toggle

Allows monks of 3rd or higher level to toggle their speed bonus on or off.

Note: There is currently a bug with this toggle for multi-class monks. If the 3rd character level that you took was not a monk level you may end up with the "too many feats" invalidation and require a restore.

Spellbooks

Format:

/spellbook parameter1 parameter2 parameter3 parameter4

• Parameter1:

save - Saves your PC's current spellbook configuration to a name of your choice (a single level of spells can be saved using parameter4).

load - Loads the spellbook configuration into your PC's spellbook (optionally you may only load a single level of spells using parameter4).

Example 1b:

/spellbook save wizard partybuffs 9 - Saves only the 9th level spells to your PC wizard's spellbook configuration as "partybuffs". Note: If the "partybuffs" spellbook already exists, only the 9th level spells will be updated in it (nothing else is changed or removed).

Example 2:

/spellbook load cleric undeadpwn 7 - Loads only the 7th level spells from your PC cleric's spellbook configuration previously memorized as "undeadpwn".

Example 3:

Ultravision Fix

Format:

/uv_fix

Workaround for the bug with ultravision/true seeing ending, that causes everyone (PCs and NPCs) to disappear (appear to be invisible). Also restores permanent ultravision to shadowdancers and palemasters, who can lose the effect when being knocked to bleeding.

Voice Throw

See the Voice Throw page for more information.

Format:

; [chat message]

When a chat line begins with the ; prefix, the chat message will be spoken by the PC's companion, familiar or summoned creatures.

Note: This requires that Auto-Emotes (using /emote_toggle) be set to "enabled".
