>>> LackeyCCG Tutorial, Console Commands & Macros

 

This page explains all of the commands you can enter in the game log and what they do. For example, typing "/flip" will flip a coin. In addition to the commands listed here, there is also a very cool feature called Sound Share that also uses commands in the log. The Sound Share tutorial page is located here, and that page explains the great power and versatility of Sound Share.This page explains everything else.

Canned Message Buttons
These commands are best used with the canned message buttons which appear directly above the game log. Instead of typing "/flip" every time you wanted to flip a coin, you could edit a canned message button to save this command. Once saved, just click the button and it will perform the the command as though you had typed it in the log. There are two ways to edit canned message buttons. In the Preferences panel, inside the Chat & Macros sub-panel, you can edit your canned message buttons. Another way to edit your canned message buttons is to enter your message into the log chat field (directly below the log), and instead of hitting return (which would say or perform the action) you can right click on one of the canned message buttons and this will set the contents of the current log chat field to the button that you right clicked.

Combining multiple commands
You can combind multiple commands into a single macro. Just put all the commands together, in the order you want them performed, and separate each one with a semicolon. Here are some examples:

/newgame;/say Good luck!

/zoom;/scale;/tilt;/pancenter;/erasedrawing

/setphase 3;/loadplaymat Phase3Playmat.jpg

/*N Similar to /=N, except this multiplies the stat by N instead of setting it to N. /*2
/playerA statB = N This command sets the stat of player A, where A is his seat position. You can omit A, and it will assume you are altering YOUR stat. The stat affected is stat B, where B is a number (e.g., "1" for the first stat). You can omit the statB part, and it will be assume that you will alter the first stat.

Plugin Maker Commands
Command Syntax Explanation Example
/reportpluginchecksum Tells you a checksum for your current plugin version. If someone's game appears red in the server's game list, his plugin version is different than yours and you should avoid joining his game. If you aren't using the server, you can find your plugin version checksum with this command. /reportpluginchecksum
/mkupdate LocalPathToAnUpdateListFile Takes as input the path to an updatelist.txt file. It creates updatelistNEW.txt at that path, but updatelistNEW contains valid checksums. Used by plugin makers to make autoupdate URLs. /mkupdate plugins/zombie/updatelist.txt
/checksum LocalPath Calculate a checksum for a file at the path. The path is the file's location relative to the Lackey executable. The result is an integer that plugin makersmight use to create plugins. /checksum  images/backgrounds/chess.jpg

 

Add a pack directly to a player's game zone:


Here is example syntax:
/addpack <kind>Pack Name</kind> <player>Trevor</player> <zone>Deck</zone> <quantity>1</quantity> <shuffle>yes</shuffle> <checksum>yes</checksum> <erase>yes</erase>

Or for short:
/ap <k>Pack Name</k> <p>Trevor</p> <z>Deck</z> <q>1</q> <s>yes</s> <c>yes</c> <e>yes</e>

I know that all seems overwhelming, but you don't need to use it in that very complicated form. I list it like that so you can see all the possible options. You can omit arguments. If you do, defaults will be used. Spaces between the arguments are also optional (except for the space immediately after /addpack that is).

<kind>Pack Name</kind>: this is the only argument that doesn't default to anything and it is therefore the only required argument. The pack name is the same one listed in the pack list.

<player>Trevor</player>: Omit this and it assumes it is person who is performing the action. You can also enter "shared" for a shared zone, but if you give a name of a shared zone as the zone argument, you can omit this argument. You can give the name of a specific player, or PLAYERN (where N is a numeral between 0 and 9). If you use PLAYERN that will allow you to load to whoever is in seat N. (Note the first seat is 0 and the second seat is 1, et cetera.)

<zone>Deck</zone>: This is the name of the game zone to load to. If you put the name of a shared zone, you don't need to enter a player name as an argument. If omitted, this argument is assumed to be the second game zone.

<quantity>1</quantity>: You can specify how many packs are to be added by this function. The default is "1".

<shuffle>yes</shuffle>: If the zone is to be shuffled. The default is "yes".

<checksum>yes</checksum>: If yes, a checksum is displayed. This checksum will allow other players to know a player didn't cheat and alter the pack definition. The default is "yes".

<erase>yes</erase>: Enter "yes" to erase the contents that were in the zone before the pack was loaded to it. Note that if you have a log function that chains multiple addpack functions together, you should only use this argument for the first function. Otherwise, subsequent executions will erase the previous packs you loaded to that zone. The default is "no".


If you just type "/addpack <k>Example</k>", that will add one pack of the "Example" kind to your second game zone and then shuffle that zone. NOTE: You need to type in an actual pack name. "Example" is not a real pack name for any plugin.... or so I would assume.
