SayWhat

SayWhat (pronounced: "Say whaaaaaaaaat!") saves typing time. Store abbreviations for your commonly used admin messages and retrieve them with just a few keystrokes.

Some examples of SayWhat in action:

On a server with the name "A Freebuild Server" with message of the day "Have fun building":

• "swr w Welcome to %servername. %motd!" - creates a new abbreviation, w.
• "sw w" - Sends the message "Welcome to A Freebuild Server. Have fun building!", as if you typed it yourself.
• "swm w SomePlayer" - Sends the welcome message as a private message to the player, "SomePlayer".
• "swl" - Lists all stored abbreviations.
• "swl w" - Lists the message stored against the "w" abbreviation.

It's early days and comments / suggestions / bug reports are most welcome, especially if you could take the time to create a ticket. Thanks!

Variables

Put one of these variables in a SayWhat abbreviation and it'll get replaced with corresponding player or server information. All variable names begin with '%%' and they are case sensitive. More are to follow, but so far there are variables for player location, current item held, server name and motd. Be sure to let us know if you've got ideas for any more.
