Admin Notice: How to create your own infocard

[Cannon]

I have added two experimental commands to the server. These commands let you create your own infocard like the one below. When somebody targets your ship and types /showinfo, your infocard is shown.



Administrators can also include text at the end of the infocard and we might use this to make special role play approvals more visible.

Viewing a player infocard

To use /showinfo, target a ship and type /showinfo. To see your own infomation, type /showinfo me.

Making a player infocard

To setup a player infocard use the /setinfo command. This command has the following parameters:

/setinfo <paragraph number> <command> <text goes here>

<paragraph number>: The paragraph the following command and text applies to. Valid paragraph numbers are 1 to 5.
<command>: 'a' for append to the paragraph and 'd' to delete all text in the paragraph
<text goes here>: duh

Limitations

- The number of letters is limited to about 1000. This might need to be reduced.
- Part of the hud will blank out when you type /showinfo.
- The escape key doesn't work to close the window.


I'll leave it to you guys to help improve this article. Suggestions welcome. Post usage examples!
