Skills, Binding, and Improved chat (I have more questions...)

[eisbaerBorealis]

So on the Zeal map, not only was I a Crafter, I was also an Alchemist. This meant that I NEVER used any [non-passive] skills. I was hoping that someone could briefly describe what I need to easily and quickly use my various active skills. I don't understand much beyond /bind binds a skill to a certain item. Do I need Improved chat? What advantages will I gain for skill-using if I implement that mod?

Thanks in advance.

Well, you could say bind your "R" key to use an ability. Also, what town are you joining?

 

[eisbaerBorealis]

Is that with normal Herocraft, or would I need Improved chat for that? What is the syntax to bind an ability to a certain key?

(I'm joining Lightforge)

 

[Jorict]

Improved chat lets you bind keys. Unsure on syntax, as I don't use improved chat.

@eisbaerBorealis If you have 'Improved Chat' you can write ~help in game, that will give you a list of commands for improved chat. The ~ key is for improved chat plugin, which you use to write it's commands and such. If you want to bind a skill to a key : ~bind /skill (skillname) (key) . I don't really remember is the skillname first or the key. The improved chat let's you bind text to a key of your choice. If you have any more questions ask, or if it would be more easy for you, you could go to http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/123409-v181-wdmods-creepers-sneak-and-chat/ and slide down till you see improved chat (which is number 4(IV)). Hope that helped you at least a bit

The newest verson of Improved chat in the link is IC 2.4.8 (for MC beta 1.8) does that verson of IC work whit MC 1.0 ?
Is it updeated at all?

Woah. Angry face not required or desired.

Welp, if Improved Chat hasn't been updated, would someone explain exactly how the /bind works? I'm not calling myself a newb, I'm calling myself a n00b. Please help the retarded one.

 

[xXAmonicXx]

The improved chat hasn't been fully to work with 1.0.0 I think, unless there's a beta one that works with it

There is an unofficially updated version of Improved chat... And with binding it's the key first, then the skill. E.G. ~bind r /skill recall

 

[eisbaerBorealis]

So what's the Herocraft alternative? /bind to an item? and then whenever I left click with said item, it casts the skill?

*Right click, but yes.

/bind fireball (while holding an item) when you right click it shoots a fireball.

You can download an unofficial version of 1.0 Improved Chat here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic...s-sneak-and-chat/page__st__1280#entry10386415

Binding syntax:
~bind <key> <command>
e.g.
~bind v /skill fireball

 

[ArchonofFail]

So I just downloaded improved chat and all the chat is white. Is there any way to turn the color back on? This is extremely annoying.

 

[eisbaerBorealis]

Did you install the non-updated, 1.8 version? Or did you install the unofficial 1.0 version and try it on the shiny new 1.1 Minecraft?

 

[ArchonofFail]

New version for 1.1

Use Spoutcraft - it has impchat (sorta) built in.

Spoutcraft says outdated client tho :s
