CHAT-RELAY

Description

Chat Relay / Relay

This command allows you to join chat rooms from outside the chat area and hear conversations going on in them from players in the actual chat room, or who are relaying as well. If you are in a chat room when CHAT RELAY is used, it will cause you to exit the chat rooms completely, and adds the channel to your list of relayed chat rooms.

CHAT RELAY from within a chat room causes you to exit the chat rooms and begin relaying from that chat room, simultaneously.

CHAT RELAY <chat room name> [] allows you to relay from a specific chat room if you are not in it, or outside the chat rooms. If the chat room has a password set, it must be specified.

CHAT RELAY LIST will list all the chat rooms you are currently relaying.

CHAT RELAY CANCEL <chat room name> or <'all'> will stop relaying from a specific chat room, or all of them at once.

CHAT RELAY DEFAULT <chat room name> or <'none'> will let you set a specific chat room relay as your default, or clear the existing chat room relay default. If you have a default chat room relay defined, you can use the RELAY command without specifying a chat room, and the message will be sent to your default chat room relay.

You may relay up to 10 chat rooms at a time.

Chat rooms may have up to 100 members relaying from the room at any given time.

The RELAY command is used to relay messages to and from specific chat rooms, or display a list of relayed rooms, like CHAT RELAY LIST above.

RELAY LIST displays a list of currently relayed rooms.

RELAY <#chat room name or # from chat relay list> will relay a message to the specified chat room.

Relayed chat data is stored in your character's history buffer. See HELP HISTORY for additional information.

Relayed chat rooms are saved for you when you log out. You will autojoin them upon your next login, provided the password for each chat room has not changed since you started relaying, and you are not currently banned from each chat room. If you do not wish to rejoin the chat rooms upon login, you must RELAY CANCEL ALL before logging out.

Relayed chat status will be displayed to you every hour, indicating which channels you are currently relaying from, and the number of fellow occupants or relayers.
