Emote Shortcuts

The EnableEmotes option allows players to use emote shortcuts in the form of .emote in local chats. These emote shortcuts cause a player's character to play the animation associated with the emote, but they don't show up in the chat message.

For example, sending the message Don't shoot! .surrender would result in the following:

A player using the wave hi emote.

This can be useful for text roleplay servers, since players can play an animation in sync with their message. The shortcuts can also be used without a message; sending .hi will play the animation without sending a message in chat.

Note: Unless the emote is the only thing sent, it must come after a space. This is to prevent accidentally including an emote after ending a sentence.

Shortcut list

The following table contains the emotes that are available in the base mod. Players can use the /emotes command to view a list in-game, or enter them using the suggestion box.
