[SOLVED] Whispering problems

[Archiiv]

Hello guys and girls, it is actually my first post on the forum and it is for a technical problem i've had for quite a while now.

While in game, i cannot seem to be able to respond to private ingame messages, i might not do it right so i wanted some help in how to do it if possible.
Right now, i'm doing the /serverstatus first to get the id of the person followed by /tell 'id' 'message' if not mistaken?
My problem is that when i do that it never send the message to the person i wanted to send it to. First i thought it was because of connecting/disconnecting peoples so the ids changed and i wasn't quick enough, i tried several times while keeping an eye on the /serverstatus to see any change but wasn't concluding.

There, if anyone can help it would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Have you tried using "/tell name message" instead of "/tell id message"?

You can also press "U" while aiming at someone and automatically start a whisper convo.

Thanks for the fast anwsers! I'll try both and see if it works.
For the "/tell name message" color scheme does not impact the way you write the name?

I don't think so, no - IIRC it basically tries to find the text you input (for instance, you could probably send me a message using "/tell lorn message") in a player's name. I don't remember what happens if the name is too vague (like "/tell d message" in a server containing "Dalo Lorn", "Lord Sidious" and "Dark Trooper"), but it probably fails and tells you to be a bit more specific.

Alright, thanks a lot Dalo and SK5.
