I'm looking for a way to send a /tell to all group members with a single command.


Is there a way to do this?

I think its /groupchat, you can also use ctrl+g for group chatting. Works just like a tell with ctrl+t.



NGE is not for me.

best is to make a group chat box which only allows you to see and send messages to the group without having non group memebers spam across your screen and having you try and scroll to find out the last message a group memeber sent. This box is usally created when your form a group. It should be either named "Group chat" or "Instant Message".

Well, if it's usually the same group of people you can set up an alias to send them all a tell with a simple command.


For example if you play with a group of Han, Luke, Chewie and Leia you would make an alias like this:


/alias tg /tell Han,Luke,Chewie,Leia


And then when you want to send them all a tell you would just type:


/tg The force will be with you... Always.


and it would send that message to everyone who's name is in the alias. Note that you can name the alias anything you want. I used tg to be short for tell group. Oh and make sure there are no spaces between the commas and the names when creating the alias.


*edit*
Also, I didn't mention that you only need to create the alias once and then it is stored on your computer and you can use it anytime.


You can also do this to make simple commands for multiple commands you use often. It works much like a macro. You could make one to heal your buddy Han while in combat that would clear your combat queue, target him and heal him and thenswitch back to whatever you had targetted beforehand with one simple command like this:


/alias hh /ui action clearCombatQueue;/target Han;/healDamage;/pause 1;/ui action cycleTargetPrev


Then you could simply type /hh in battle and it would heal him immediately even if you had a bunch of combat commands queued up and then go back to the target you were fighting.

Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

I think I confused you guys. I know about the /g, /groupchat, etc. What I'm looking for is a /tell command to send a /tell to all group members at once. Not a groupchat msg but a /tell.

Exactly, I want to *beep* the group, players often don't look in groupchat. Most do pay attention to a tell *beep*

Sounds to me like you want to be able to send tells to the whole group even when the group has different people in the group. If so, then making an alias with exact names won't work.


Anyway, I know there is a /gtell command but I've never used it so not sure exactly what it does. So try it out and see what happens. if it works like it sounds, then it should send a /tell to all group members.

Now I'm confused...as to what the difference is, apart from tells going beep?
