Thread: City Chat NOT IN TOP FIVE WHAT?!?
I too would like to have /citychat. After seeing the macros presented here in such detail, I would like to trunctate my request to a new chat command:
Please add the syntax [citizens] to replace player names in the string:
/chat invite SWG.[server_name].Chat.[city_channel] [PlayerName];
If we could add this simple addition, we could add all of our current residents on-the-fly.

Here's what my macro looks like:
/chat create SWG.Gorath.Chat.KC 1 0 "\#3399ffKheraba-City.de\#ffffff - A place to call home";
You have to be careful as it is case sensitiv ... Gorath is my server ... you'll have to put yours there ... Chat is the main Chat-folder (so you can just type "/ChatName Message" to send your message to the created chat channel) ... and KC is the name of my chat channel (so I type "/kc Hi citizens" to send a "Hi citizens" to our chat)
/pause 1;
/chat join SWG.Gorath.Chat.KC;
The 1 means the chat channel is public set it to 0 if you want it private. Then you will have to extend your macro with a number of lines (simple copy&paset:
/chat invite SWG.Gorath.Chat.KC PlayerName01;
/chat invite SWG.Gorath.Chat.KC PlayerName02;
...
the 0 in my create macro says the channel is not moderated .. again, if you want to have it moderated turn it to 1 ... but I don't know out of memory what the command is to give people moderation rights ... but just type "/chat" ingame and it will give you all the commands you need to know (ban, info etc)
The message of the Chat is in "" ... the \#3399ff is a blue color ... \#ffffff is white. But create this macro in a text editor as you won't be able to see the text you write after the "\" ... then copy and paste it into SWG ...
To copy and paste go to your options -> Keymap -> all -> and set "chat edit copy" and "chat edit paste" on a key-combination ... just paste it into a macro ... drag that macro onto your main toolbarSet (like shift-F12 or such) and activate it after SWG loaded
Now if you have your macro
I want it public too, but I was just suggesting it, cause I WANT CITY CHAT. We have 4 PA's in the city, and others not in a PA, and I am tired of creating a channel, and having it destroyed. Tired of having to talk through tells, or rejoin the created city channel. It simply can't be that hard.
