@aspirinsmurf2 Also if your talking about using emotes as a freeform text box rather than having your PC try to physically do the emotes or skill checks you can use:
.toggle emotes - To turn on and off the use of emotes

No, you can't. I tried.

Would hate to lose an old player coming back for this issue.
Any way we can create a workable solution?

Please bug report this :)

Bug reported. And I guess I'll be playing somewhere else in the meantime. I don't want to make a habit out of doing ;;emotes like this;; or anything like that. That's probably the best available option for me physically, but it's just an eyesore for everyone.

@aspirinsmurf2 i Got use to using ‘bla bla bla’ it works somewhat.

@DoctorDeth Please take a look when you get time.

I would guess this has something to do with the dot command re-factoring and is an unfortunate oversight, and not a designed change.

(Essentially, a bug)

I could take a stab at fixing this if you post the relevant scripts. I'm no programmer, but I've made scripts in NWN before. Something like this will work in onPlayerChat just for my account name. The generalized solution for the toggle would be similar:

void main()
{
    object oPC = GetPCChatSpeaker();
    string sChat = GetPCChatMessage();

    // Hack for Aspirinsmurf's emotes
    if (GetPCPlayerName(oPC) == "Aspirinsmurf"
	&& GetStringLeft(sChat, 1) == "*")
    {
        return;
    }

    // Rest of the logic goes here
}

This.
When Deth has time to fix it, he will.

Star emotes are possible, but you need to turn off emotes for it to work.
