Chat, Cheats, and Text Commands
Pressing ENTER will bring up a "say:" prompt which you can use to communicate with other players or issue "Text Commands". To send a message to all who are connected, type your message and press ENTER. To send a message only to your allies, preface your message with "a:". To send a message to any spectators, type "s:" then your message and press ENTER. To enter a Text Command, simply type the command and press ENTER.
Basic Text Commands
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| .info | Shows you what colour each player is, its CPU usage percentage and their ping delay in the bottom right corner of the screen. This is on by default. |
| .clock | Shows you the elapsed game time in minutes and seconds in the bottom right corner of the screen. This is on by default. |
| .take | Places all allied units that are owned by players who have lost connection to the server under your control. It is generally considered polite to consult with any still-connected allies before doing this. In a Commander Dies, Game Ends game, a player only loses once they have lost all their Commanders, and this mechanism will give them a second one. |
| .setmaxspeed # | Changes the maximum speed multiplier (default is 3.0) |
| .setminspeed # | Changes the minimum speed multiplier (default is 0.3) |
