Hi,

I joined a game (with most players) and was kicked by {GBLT} Oblivion. I don't know why. I wanted to message him and ask whats up. I was kicking ass with the nex the night before and maybe my aim is so good I'm labeled a hacker. Perhaps he wanted to keep the teams even or wanted a guildmate to join. I dunno.

It says the command is "tell." How does that work for his name? I tried:

tell {GBLT} Oblivion hi
tell "{GBLT} Oblivion" hi
tell Oblivion hi

He wasn't in the same game with me obviously since I was booted.

Thanks for the help!

PS. Yes I'm new here, I play every few weeks/months.

Type status and it gives you a list of names with numbers. Then, say you want to talk to the guy with #1, you'd type - tell #1 hi

If I'm wrong, oh well.

Now it also should work by typing: tell <playerNameHere>
But if all else fail then yes, Komier is correct, typing 'status' in the console you'll see the number of the player and then just type: tell #<playerNumberHere> <messageHere>

Alternatively you can press tab after typing the first letter(s) and it will auto-complete all the possible names starting with that letter/character. However, both you and the person you want to talk to must be on the same server, it's not a chatroom So you have to be playing at the same time in the same game in order to talk to someone.

Thanks fellas.

That's what I wanted to know ai

It does (or at least it did) need the color codes too when using the playername, that's why I added a flag for nickcompletion to handle quotes.
eg, if I'm on the server you can type
tell "b
then press tab, and it will automagically complete to:
tell "^3B^7lu^3b"
including the ending " quote and a space after it

Dunno if it's on by default, it's flag 2
just type: con_nickcompletion_fla and press tab
it'll give you the info you need
I recommend a value of 27
