Beginning with Hermes build 14, commands that accept avatar names recognize the following shortcuts:
Version Introduced | Description |
---|---|
14 | A partial name match can be performed with ?<part of name>. For example, ?rapier will return Strike Rapier if he is in AWTeen. Note that this does not support wildcard characters (? and *) A user's session number (found with h:uid) can be used by writing $<number>. For example, $1198 will return a user with session number 1198. |
17 | A user's IP address can be used by writing %1.2.3.4. For example, %64.94.241.250 looks for the first user with the IP address 64.94.241.250. Matching by class C is possible by setting the last bit (250) to zero (0), such as 64.94.241.0. |
27 | Using ?* will match all users. |
28 | Citizen numbers can be used for shortcuts one of the following ways:
This does not work for tourists (citizen #0). |
36 | Wildcard matching can be used with ^:
|
41 | Using ~* will match all users within your local chat range (200m). |
It is even possible to use these shortcuts in your mute list; for example, adding ?" and/or ?[ to one's mute list is a quick way to mute all tourists and bots in extended-chat.

When sending a private message using h:pm, your target will be remembered; the h:pmr command can be used to send messages to this person. For example, h:pm ?squail: hi will save '?squail' as your target; h:pmr will continue sending messages to '?squail'. When receiving a private message via h:pm, h:pmr will be available to reply to the sender of the most recently sent message.

For example, receiving a message from 'Robbie' followed by a message from 'Brock' will have your h:pmr target set to 'Brock'. |
