Chapter Fifteen
Various Scripts & Commands
To help enhance your roleplay experience, there are many commands, keybinds, and menus you need to be familiar with. This section will cover some of those.
Telegrams: Everybody likes getting something in the mail. They like personalized telegrams, too! Just go to the post office/train station in most towns and you can buy paper for telegrams at the mailbox area. When you use one of these items, you can write your telegram which will be taken to the recipient by Owl or Raven. If you receive a telegram, you will have an owl or raven fly around you with an occasional prompt to call it and receive your telegram. There’s no way to re-read a telegram at this time, so take a screenshot if you want to be able to refer back to it, for now.
Gun Cleaning: Keeping your firearms good and clean is a great way to keep your ass alive and kickin’! Make sure you purchase gun cleaning oil from the General Store and use it while holding your gun.
Pointing: I know your mom probably told you pointing was rude, but sometimes it’s just necessary. You can point in the direction ahead of your character by pressing B on the keyboard or by entering /p in chat.
Delete Wagon: So you called the wrong wagon, or it’s just plain not needed a the moment? Just sit in the driver seat and enter /dv in the chat box. Then poof! It’ll be gone like a wild mustang.
Gold Panning: Ready to strike it rich? Well, good luck with that because gold panning takes some time and lots of luck. You can buy a gold pan at the General Store. Stand in some water and use it. Best of luck to ya!
Chair Sitting: Some chairs are already made to sit in without the base game mechanics. Some we had some Lagras Voodoo done so they can be sat in. When near a chair/bench, hold G on your keyboard and a prompt will appear to press spacebar. Then a menu will open to allow you to pick some sitting animations. Hold G again to get the spacebar to stand prompt. Press spacebar and on your feet you go.
Lock/Unlock Job Related Doors: A couple of jobs have locked doors to protect sensitive areas. Not always to keep folks out, but sometimes to keep their horse theivin’ asses in! Locked doors with a red lock showing on them can be unlocked by the people with the right job permissions by pressing [L ALT] on the keyboard. Same way will lock an unlocked job door, too.

SCENE SETUP:
If you want to set up some visual cues for a scene or roleplay scenario, you can create something that looks like this.
Simply enter /scene in text chat and a purple ball will appear on your screen. Move it where you want the scene text to be and enter /scene:place in chat. This will then open a window for you to type what you want to display. Such as “old cigarette butt” or “bloody boot print”. To edit or delete your scene text, get near it and press B on the keyboard to open the edit menu. These scenes are deleted, automatically, after server restarts.
