Re-Introducing Console Input

[Ind 945]

We're re-introducing console input ( hercules renewal'd ), and whats this? it's the ability to type commands into login/char/map server console/terminals, that are then interpreted and acted upon. This feature was once available through a long-deprecated plugin, we're re-introducing it as a built in feature and far more efficient than the previous version. Currently, the old commands are being used, we'll be replacing them in the coming days and adding new ones, besides improving the functionality (so that if you use a gm command through console it wont require you to type gm position more than once, among other stuff).

By the way, typing 'shutdown', 'exit', 'quit' or 'end' will replicate the effect of @mapexit.

It's a optional feature, can be disabled in src/config/core.h by commenting the following line:

#define CONSOLE_INPUT

Can I ask how exactly does this works?

 

I've never used the old console input system...

you can type 'help' in the console and it'll be displayed (the format is quite confusing and will be replaced soon)

[info]: To use GM commands:

[info]: admin:<gm command>:<map of "gm"> <x> <y>

[info]: You can use any GM command that doesn't require the GM.

[info]: No using @item or @warp however you can use @charwarp

[info]: The <map of "gm"> <x> <y> is for commands that need coords of the GM

[info]: IE: @spawn

[info]: To shutdown the server:

[info]: server:shutdown

Ohhh understood

 

I have tested for a while and you are right, it's a bit confusing ^^u Althought it is useful.

 

Btw, when you use @broadcast command, could be possible to change the name that appear ('console') to another one, for example, the server name?
