Overview

Editing

• The Language File consists of a series of keyworded sections. Sections are introduced with the section name enclosed in square brackets [].
• Each section then contains lines of data, each beginning with a four-character identifier, followed by a TAB character, and then the data for the identifier.
• There usually many sections of each type.
• Comments are introduced by asterix (*) or C++ style // comments.

Section Types

Command

The command section indicates that the following data is for the definition of a command. This is the text-equivalent of commands that may be sent to the online users.

Keywords

The keywords section indictes the keyworded-parameters that may be used with the most recently defined command.

The keyword '++++' indicates that there are no discrete parameters and the whole rest of the command line be taken as one parameter.

Modifiers

Modifiers are keywords that stand alone, as boolean options without extra parameters, similar to AppleScripts with operators.

The modifier 'ignr' will be ignored by the parser, and can be used to make the command line more readable.

Messages

The messages section contains all the messages that are used by OAT when sending messages to the online users. You can edit the existing strings as required.
