PowerChat is back and it's a hundred times cooler than before!
PowerChat itself is now a standalone tool that can be run on anything that uses Lua. Its syntax is a lot like a syntax of a scripting language - you can write whole programs in PowerChat. In fact, half of PowerChat standard commands is written in PowerChat itself!
As PowerChat has a total of over 50 standard commands and simple but functional syntax, it can not only help people do special things ingame, but also provides tools for enhanced chat usage and, of course, helps a lot with debugging mods.
Some of the legacy things you can still do with PowerChat:
- Send private messages to players in the lobby (!pm -andole hi)
- Get information about playtime of given players (!hours andole)
- Inspect what skills and perk decks players use (!skills andole)
- Translate words into different languages (!dict -en-fr house)
- Search Wikipedia in different languages (!wiki obama)
- Get assistance with choosing the right engine on Big Oil (!boc he 3 <)
- Change FPS to any value you want (!fps 60)
