Text to send

It is possible to specify modifiers inline with chat text to pass certain information with the "%" character:

• %f - Inserts the name of the current focus target or "<no focus>" into the chat text.
• %n,%t - Inserts the name of the current target or "<no target>" into the chat text.

Details

• By default, yells also appear as a chat bubble over the player's head.
• This does not bypass ignore functionality.
• Opposite faction players will see the player speaking in encoded text, appearing as a different language.
• Players using free Starter Edition accounts cannot yell ingame.
