key --- WRITEME --- optional --- currently ignored

vol --- Volume is one of talk, shout, or whisper. The default is always talk. vol is optional.

Speech filtering

There are two kinds of filtering on text: foul language, and obnoxious typing.

Foul language filtering occurs when there are children or sensitive players nearby (blacklist), and in all cases for certain stopwords (redlist).

See TOOTSVILLE CASSANDRA-FILTER.

Obnoxious typing filtering occurs all the time, and undoes a couple of things that are --- well, just plain obnoxious.

SPEECH IN ALL CAPS is converted into lower-case; if it was meant to be whispered, it will instead be spoken (talk); if it was meant to be spoken, it will instead be shouted. Shouted text in all caps remains shouted (but is still in lower-case).
Sentences with lots of punctuation!! are fixed; aside from ellipses, no repeated punctuation is preserved.

See TOOTSVILLE CASSANDRA-OBNOXIOUS-FILTER.

Special character handling

The first character of the speech can turn it into a special command of some kind.

~

Commands beginning with ~ should be handled by the client. A conforming client should never forward any command beginning with ~ to the server.

#

Server commands begin with # (sharp sign / octothorpe / hash sign). A server command is any unary function in the Tootsville-User package. See TOOTSVILLE PARSE-OPERATOR-COMMAND for details.

@

@-messages are whispered directly to the named character, if they are located somewhere in the nearby area. For example, @Catvlle Hello! will whisper the phrase Hello! to only the player Catvlle.

/

Emotes begin with /. Emotes set the expression of the character to one of a predefined list of expresssions, or display an emoji speech balloon.

Why these specific emojis? Backward compatiblity. This list of emotes was inherited from Tootsville IV.

The emoji items might be replaced with more detailed animations in the future.

A few of the emotes actually have even more complex behavior, as noted in the index below.

smile: The expression on the character's face should change to a smile.
