Download v5.1 Added the /empirefont command for further empire chat customisation. Also added private empire chat whispering.

okay that was fast

Is there anyway you can make it save the empire name and color after someone leaves and comes back? Also, anyway to enable and disable rolling, because people love to spam the chat with it.

Besides that, I experienced this on a server, useful mod.

I can add empire name/color saving, but I don't really see it being necessary. It's just a little bit of effort from a player. Toggling rolling is a pretty sweet idea, I'll see what I can do.

Edit: Done exactly that. Toggle the /roll command with /toggleroll <on/off>

Use player persistence and make a /clearEmpire command for peeps who decide to start fresh?

Be sure you're returning parents for GameConnection::autoAdminCheck and GameConnection::onClientLeaveGame.

Just updated the add-on with a pretty large update based on feedback from you guys.

I didn't end up using Player Persistence as I was having a few troubles, but I had a saving system lying somewhere so it's all good. Also, no command for that, as they can just rename/recolor their empire.

Be sure you're returning parents for GameConnection::autoAdminCheck and GameConnection::onClientLeaveGame.

Thanks for reminding me, fixed that.

Thanks.

Should really rename all the updated versions to the same name so they automatically ask for an overwrite when you place a different version within the add-ons folder.

They're only different names so it helps me organize them on Mediafire and on my PC. I'll change the latest version to 'Server_MERP_Commands', though. Old versions will still have version numbers.

Also, I've started a poll on a feature I was thinking of adding, just to see some response for it.

actually would be very useful for me, i use strange colors sometimes

[Decimation]

Maybe implement the timer in seconds rather than minutes or a second/minute/hour format?

Done, and done! New update with a fair amount of changes, also has the start of modifiers for dice.

[Element]

Updated the addon to v3.0 including feedback from the guys over at Alxetora's Server and Goldtits. Now includes more preferences!

What would people think about commands to keep track of materials/stats?
