roleplay chat

regular chat uses a configurable proximity distance while roleplay commands can each use their own range

/me displays inside chat and above the character with stackable 3D text that adjusts for standing kneeling sitting ground and wagon poses

/do can optionally hide the visible character name for scene based roleplay while retaining player identity in webhook logs

/yell and /whisper provide separate long and short range communication

/ooc keeps out of character conversation separate from local roleplay chat

• global

channels can be public private read only or restricted by VORP group job rank or ACE permission

view and send access can be configured separately so players can read a channel without being allowed to post in it

players can switch between available channels using Tab and Shift Tab
