Norl Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Suppose your global was @Globalwith Spaces, how would one format a /emailsend command to work? I've exhausted all possibilities. One site even said to bracket spaces with question marks. But @Globalwith? ?Spaces doesn't seem right. Double quotes, underscore, nothing seems to work right. Any ideas?

BlackSpectre Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 You can't. The command never worked with names that had spaces and it's been this way for 20 years. This is also true for the /emailsendattachment command. The best you can do is rename your global name and take out any spaces. Kinda like what I did... Black Specter --> BlackSpectre. Otherwise, you're just out of luck. 😞 1 Black Spectre - A Dark Defender's Home on the Web • The Advanced Bind Guide • The Masters of BAF: A Guide for Leaders and Players • The Wiki List of Slash Commands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linea Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 These commands are dangerous and should be avoided. Using these commands can and will lead to problems and has done so in the past. The only safe version is: /toggle compose. 1 AE 801 (link) is a variety of missions for fun and challenge, and is designed for a team of 5+ Incarnates.

Doughboy Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I use these all the time in a custom menu with no problem: Button "Email Awaken" <&emailsendattachment @Provoke "Awaken" "0" "2" "0" "Save this for later."&> Button "Email Break Free" <&emailsendattachment @Provoke "Break Free!" "0" "2" "0" "Save this for later."&> Button "Email inspiration" <&emailsendattachment @Provoke "Inspiration" "0" "2" "0" "Save this for later."&> This sends whatever is in the lower left inspiration slot to the global email listed in the command. That's my global handle in the example above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be that incompatible global names clogged up the player's email system, but that has since been alleviated by daily server refreshes. In any case, I haven't had any trouble. Have you?

You can send unintended attachments because of indexing issues, corrupt your character, and/or email. If you only send text then it's not an issue, but when you start trying to send influence and attachments things can go wrong. Ask a Dev. It's been warned against in the past, more than once, they are not commands that were never intended for end-users. As far as I know it's not an issue with crashing the mapserver or systems, it's only your head in the noose, and people persist in doing it, but it IS your head in the noose. I still respec in bases even though that is also strongly advised against, and I even know why, but I'm willing to risk it because it's quiet and convenient for me, and it is again, only MY head in that noose.

Unintended attachments is mainly due to lack of understanding on how the indexing system works, but corrupting your email/character may be a real risk. It's never happened to me or any of the people I know, but I can see how things might get messed up in the back-end. Thanks for the warning. It's definitely worth keeping in mind. Use at your own risk.

Basically, what this macro does is transfer all of the inspirations in the bottom row of the tray. Since inspirations move down when you use or delete them, you end up getting the whole tray in just 4 clicks. 🙂 1 Black Spectre - A Dark Defender's Home on the Web • The Advanced Bind Guide • The Masters of BAF: A Guide for Leaders and Players • The Wiki List of Slash Commands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
