| You can add emotional nuances to their text chat by using "emotes". This can liven up conversation and reduce miscommunication.
| |
| | |
| This video tutorial quickly shows you how to use emotes:
| |
| | |
| {{KBvideo|-c18cqU_reA|640|505|type=youtube}}
| |
| | |
| As shown, there are several special prefixes for emotes:
| |
| | |
| == /me ==
| |
| | |
| Beginning a line of chat with <code>/me</code> phrases it from your perspective. For example, if your name is [[Torley Linden]] and you enter:
| |
| | |
| : <code>/me looks delighted to emote</code>
| |
| | |
| It appears to everyone as:
| |
| | |
| : <code>Torley Linden feels delighted to emote</code>

| |
| | |
| == /shout and /whisper ==
| |
| | |
| These are a couple "hidden" emotes that aren't visibly documented in the Viewer's user interface but have worked in some capacity for years: <code>/shout</code> and <code>/whisper</code>. Like <code>/me</code>, begin a line of chat with the trigger.

| | |
| {{KBcaution|<code>/shout</code> and <code>/whisper</code> both autocomplete. This can conflict if you have other gestures or scripted gadgets that have triggers that begin similarly. A workaround is to backspace or paste in the command.}}
| |
| | |
| <code>/shout</code>
| |
| * Can be heard by avatars within a 100m radius.
| |
| * You can also shout by completing your line of chat with {{k|Ctrl|Enter}}.
| |
| * Shout is accompanied by an animation of your avatar cupping hands-to-mouth, similar to how you might shout in an exaggerated way in real life.
| |
| * Appears '''in bold'''.
| |
| | |
| <code>/whisper</code>
| |
| * Can be heard by avatars within a 10m radius.
| |
| * Appears '''in italics'''.

| == Emoticons ==
| |
| | |
| Related, you may be familiar with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticons emoticons] such as the popular smiley face <code>:)</code> which can be typed in the chat bar alongside any other text. There are a tremendous variety with variations. For example, happiness is also expressed via <code>^^</code> , <code>:o)</code> , and <code>=^_^=</code> . [[Unicode]] symbols from other languages that appear to be emoting faces are also used, such as the popular <code>㋡</code> [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%83%83 from Japanese], which appears to be a diagonally-tilted happy face.
| |
| | |
| Emoticons are often used in {{xref|gesture|gestures}}. For example, there's a gesture which uses "<code>:)</code>" as a trigger and automatically transforms it into the aforementioned "<code>㋡</code>".
