Good morning,
Last night my wife and I where hunting in Warrens. I was trying to toggle off the corpses on the floor from our battles, but was unable to remember how. I was hoping we could start a list of in game commands to refer to, and help newer player. I have seen a list like this on another board, but I can’t recall where, or if it is still up.

*Note, Allakhazam has a good list of in game commands, but they seem to be a bit dated.*

Thanks for contributing your knowledge to this list Smiley: wink.

/help gives you a list of all the in-game commands. They're mostly self explanitory.
#3 Jul 06 2005 at 9:43 AM Rating: Good
/help does not nearly list all of the commands.

Check this out!

Some of the more obscure commands (swiped from the Aude Sapere site)


One-time commands everyone should type in, or consider typing in
/assist off (you don't automatically attack when you assist)
/combatmusic off (no more of that annoying battle music)
/filter off (unless foul language really puts you off, you'll see a lot of gibberish with this on)
/serverfilter on (certain combat messages/battle spam gets filtered by the server, can reduce lag)
/toggleinspect off (you no-longer automatically inspect everyone you righ-click; some people consider unannounced inspections rude)
/dopropertinting on (fixes some funky color problems with Luclin models)
/hitsmode (Creates a battle spam window. Not sure if this works anymore, if it doesn't, do it the long way)
/autojoin [CHANNEL NAME, CHANNEL NAME, CHANNEL NAME, etc] ( sets you up to automatically be in certain channels when you log in)


Lag-Reducing and UI-adjusting Commands
/hidecorpse all (hides all corpses, nice for cutting down lag when you're close to a PoP graveyard)
/hidecorpse allbutgroup (hides all corpses but your group's, cuts down on lag)
/showname 1 (only first names show on your UI. BIG lag reducer
/shownames (toggles all names on and off)
/mixahead [1-16] (allows you to adjust how far ahead the engine pre-mixes sound. Default is 8.
/dynamiclighting [on/off] (Makes light sources light up terrain and characters. It can slow down the framerate, though)

Periodic Useful Commands

/note [TEXT] (Makes a notes.txt file appear in your EQ directory, handy for those who want to remind themselves to look up something or do something later.
/report [PLAYER] (reports the last 10 lines of text in the buffer to the GM's, good for using on griefers and people who are abusing chat channels)
/safelock [WORD] (puts a password on your UI, so your little kid can't make your toon jump into The Hole. To release, type /safelock [SAME WORD] )


Grouping/Raiding
/rtarget (Targets a person who just sent you a tell. Great for buffers who get lots of buff requests on raids)
/ttell (sends a tell to your target. Useful for the guy in charge of giving instructions/keeping new folks in-line, clerics who are rezzing, and people on COTH chains.)
/makeraidleader [NAME] (Passes raid leadership to another)
/setloottype [1-3] (sets loot type for the raid. 1 is leader only, 2 is leader and group leaders, 3 is leader and designated people)
/addraidlooter (adds target to the raid loot list, not sure if you can type in a name instead)
/removeraidlooter (removes target from raid loot list)


Corpse Runs
/corpsedrag (MUCH better than /corpse, you automatically drag a corpse. You can autodrag 2 at a time with this)
/corpsedrop (you stop autodragging the corpse)
ALT-K (turns on an in-game MP3 player)

Switching out and Camping out
/camp desktop (don't have to click your way out of the game after you camp)
/camp server (sends you straight to the server select screen)
Alt-Enter (activates or deactivates window mode)
Control-shift-R (frees up your window's mode mose so you can swap out of the game)

Caster Commands

/book [#] (you open your spellbook straight to a specific page, good for swapping spells in and out fast if you don't like having pre-set lineups.
/savespellset [Number] (saves your current spell lineup)
/memspellset [Number] (brings up a saves spell lineup)

General information

/charinfo (tells you where you are bound)
/guildstatus (name or target) (lets you know if you're talking to a member, officer, or guild leader)
/key (lets you know what you're keyed for)

Make sure you have the corpse you want to drop targeted when you issue /corpsedrop. It will save you aggravation!

The left here in the menu bar there is a link near the bottom called Commands and terms. It's a pretty good list. I haven't looked it over in a long time, but one to add to Frak's list to help reduce lag in certain zones is /showgrass off. It works really well in JPF.

Doesent /exit do the same thing or is there a different effect?

/exis is the same as /quit. It doesn't camp you, but actually forces you to LD. Anyone that's gone LD only to come back and find themselves dead on the other side of the zone knows that it's probably safer to just camp. If you have the time, camp.

The two commands you quoted will actually camp you and exit you all the way out of the game (/camp desktop) or camp you and leave you at the server select screen (/camp server).

We can actually thank Reinman for this list. I just stole it from him Smiley: sly

are you talking about a quicker way to loot corpses while fighting? I just loot the item, then hit escape to close the loot box, then i target the new mob and start fighting.
#11 Jul 06 2005 at 12:12 PM Rating: Good
No.

He was looking for the /hidecorpse command.

That's pretty clever how you can loot a corpse then start fighting again though.

Awesome list, especially like the safelock command. Didn't even know that existed, will work great for my 3 year old who likes to make me move when I am not looking. If for some stupid reason you forget the word you entered, is there a way to auto reset it? Will it reset if you quit game?

Just a couple of things I wanted to add:

/tt (short for /ttell)
/hidecorpse looted - hides a corpse if you did not loot everything on that corpse. Great for tradeskill farming.

Just want to add something.

When using the raid management window (and various raid commands), you must have the person targetted in the raid window!!!. Targetting someone with the mouse, or with the /target command will *not* work. Those commands operate on the person who's name is highlighted in the raid window only.

I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten that and added random people to loot lists and such (cause it'll add the last person you selected in the raid window). Or you end up transfering leadership to a random afk person on the raid (yup. Done that...).

F8 will target the nearest mob in front of you, and is an easy key to hit in critical situations. For a ranger, that's immensely useful, particularly for root'n'shoot when the /assist [TANK] obviously won't work, but it's perhaps even more useful as a tank with spell effects flying all over and corpses littering the ground.
You COULD turn spell effects off, or play in black and white, and turn music off, and hide every other graphical feature but the mob (try F10 one day), but that's really a pity and detracts immensely from the experience and the adrenaline rush IMO

Yeah. It is a pity, but unfortunately most tanks have to do this anyway (actually anyone who needs to pick mobs out of a crowd). F8 works to a point, but if you need to target a specific mob, you need to do so with the mouse (or by /assisting someone). Unfortunately, if you are the tank or CC character, you're the one others assist for targets, so you've got to do it manually.

About the only place I've ever used F8 to get a target is when pulling people through the PoJ exe trial. Don't really care about target there and speed is important. Anywhere else, I take that extra second to target the exact mob I want. And yeah. That means that when I play my tank, I turn off spell effects. Now with my wizard, the effects go on and I get to have fun! ;)

Now, if you're like me and can type FAST you can just use the /target MOBNAME command. Of course this isn't quite so helpful when you've got a bunch of mobs with the same name. But this command works for players too as long as they are in range.

Since the last patch I've had to add _ s to mob names (ie A_Mob's_Name) particularly to target corpses. A corpse does not have to be visible for it to be command-line targetted.

/loot: opens the loot window for a targetted corpse. Corpse does not have to be visible to loot it.

/autoinventory: places everything on your cursor in the first available inventory spaces. Stackable items will be placed together.

I'm not sure if most people know about this, but in addition to the F8 being "target nearest mob" you can also make a button that will toggle thru all nearby mobs. When I hear people say they can't target a mob without the mouse or /assist it doesn't make sense to me, I just hit that button a couple times and I can target anything. I originally remapped F8 to this but I have since moved it.

Something that many dont know is that you dont have to write /who. Its enough to just write /.
For example:
/ all wizard 70
lists all lvl 70 wizards on your server..

/rt (short for /rtarget)

/ooc paying 1kpp for c6 (command to get crack fast, only works in pok).


Thats all I have to add ;)
