Outward Mods Communicator Chat Control
Provides access to
Mods Communicator through chat.
It enables event-driven communication between mods, allowing users to
interact with them directly through chat.
How to use it
Firstly, install Chat Commands
Manager.
After that, you can use the commands provided by this mod directly in chat.
Built-in Commands
/events
Lists all registered events from OutwardModsCommunicator.
Usage:
/events
/event
Gets detailed information about a specific event including its parameters and types.
Usage:
/event gymmed.chat_commands_manager_* ChatCommandsManager@AddChatCommand
/event --mod=gymmed.chat_commands_manager_* --event=ChatCommandsManager@AddChatCommand
/event gymmed.loot_manager_* AddLoot
/publish
Publishes an event to OutwardModsCommunicator directly from chat. Parameters are dynamically parsed based on the event's registered schema in Mods Communicator.
How it works:
The mod reads the registered event parameters from Mods Communicator and automatically parses your chat input to match the expected types. If a parameter type cannot be parsed from a string (like functions or delegates), it will be skipped. Unregistered parameters are silently ignored, giving you flexibility.
Usage:
/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* LootRulesSerializer@SaveLootRulesToXml
/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* LootRulesSerializer@LoadCustomLoots --filePath="C:/documents/myPath"
/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* AddLoot --itemId=4300040 --faction=bandits
/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* AddLoot --itemId=4300040 --faction="bandits"
/publish --event=AddLoot --itemId=4300040 --faction=Deer
Supported Types:
- Primitives: string, int, float, bool, double, long, decimal, char
- Enums: Any game enum (e.g., Character.Factions.Bandits, Character.Factions.Deer)
- Nullable<T>: Optional enum/primitive types (e.g., Nullable<Character.Factions>)
- IEnumerable/ICollection: Space-separated values (e.g., --names="Sword Shield" becomes List<string>)
- Arrays: Space-separated values (e.g., --ids="4300040 4300041")
Notes:
- Parameters can be passed positionally (in order) or by name (--param=value)
- If mod namespace is omitted, searches all registered mods for the event
- If a value cannot be parsed to the expected type, an error is shown and the event is NOT published
- Unregistered parameters (not defined in the event schema) are silently dropped - they are not added to the event payload
- Each mod is responsible for validating and handling the received data in their own event handlers
