Squad management

 

 

Squads add a huge element of teamplay to SubSpace. When you join a squad, you (usually) devote yourself to playing with your squadmates, helping each other out, and duel other squads. You can easily make friends this way, and practice some two-player combo's. Creating a squad is one, but maintaining one is something different. You'd be better off if you joined a squad first before creating one of your own. Squad captains that don't know how things work are very annoying for the rest of the squad. For some the commands below you need to be the squad creator in order for the commands to work.

 

?squadjoin=A:B

Join an existing squad. A is the name of the squad, B is the password

?squadgrant playername

Grants the ownership of your current squad to the player called playername.

 

 

Macros

 

 

Macros are really important in subspace, especially in team-oriented games. Often you will have little time to call for help, or to ask for someone who is at base. With macros, you can store your most used text lines and retrieve them with a simple key combination. There are alot of extra variables that can be used in macros to enhance communication, like an energy or coordinate indication that can often provide vital information for your teammates. Good use of macros will give you and your team a considerable edge when fighting enemy teams.

 

SHIFT-F#

# is a number from 1 to 8. Record the text that is currently at the text prompt. The next time you press SHIFT-F#, subspace will reproduce the macro exactly as you typed it.

 

?loadmacro filename

Load message macros from filename. This will replace your current macros with the ones stored in the macro file (usually a .mac file)

Save message macros to filename. Saves your message macros to disk. The default extension is .mac

General Communication

 

 

In the following text, the actual thing you type is written in italic text. Try to remember all of them, since nothing can be more annoying than not being able to say something to someone if you want. It is possible for you to send messages to someone who is in a different zone. So, if you want to know if your friend is online, you can send him a message and see if he's there.

 

!@#$%^&*o everyone sends "!@#$%^&*o everyone" to all players in the current arena. This is a public message, which is always written in blue text.

/Hi there

Sends "Hi there" to selected player. You select a player with the red arrow in the playerlist. This is a private message, which is always written in green text.

 

//!@#$%^&*o team

Sends "!@#$%^&*o team" to your entire frequency (all players in the playerlist that have a yellow name). This is a team message, which will always be written in yellow text.

 

'!@#$%^&*o team

Same as //!@#$%^&*o team

 

:doorknot:hi there

Sends private message "hi there" to player named "doorknot". If a player is not in the playerlist when he sends you a message, then use this option to reply to him. (It is possible to send messages to someone who is not even in the same zone)

 

::hi there

This will send "hi there" to the last person that sent you a message. For example, if someone named "Captain21" sends you a message, and you type ::hi there you will see :Captain21:hi there on your screen. In other words, the game will automatically fill in the right name for you.

 

"hiya

Will send hiya to ticked player's team. Will appear as blue text, with your name in green.

 

:#squadname:hi guys

Will send Hi guys to all players in the squad called squadname. A shortcut for talking to your own squad is SHIFT-3. Notice : these messages are NOT sent reliably ; it's possible that your squad does not receive all messages you send if your connection isn't too good.

 

 

Chat channels

 

 

Chat channels are special channels in SubSpace that allow a group of people to talk to every person using the chat channel. A player can have up to ten chat channels at a time. Players can have a specific channel, for their squad only, or just one for a specific zone. As you start to learn to know people in subspace, you will add more and more chat channels. They are definitely worth the time you spend figuring out how they work.

 

?chat

Lists the chat channels you are currently using

 

?chat=name1

Set your chat channel to the one named "name1".

 

?chat=sheep,newbies,losers,test,hi
