oxat has support for special "/" (slash) commands, which allow for advanced actions that are not available in the graphical user interface. Some commands are available for everyone on the chat, while other commands require a specific rank or power.

Default "/" commands

These commands can be used by everyone in any chat, though sometimes you need a certain rank.

/o - Smiley effects

You can make the chat box automatically add smiley effects to all the smilies you send. To do this, type /o followed by the code of the effect without the # sign.

For example, if you want all of your smilies to be mirrored and you have the Mirror power, type /om into the chat box and send it like a message. You can also combine effects. For example, /omis will make all the smilies mirrored, inverted and made square, as long as you have all the required powers. You can also combine color effects. For example, /oFFFFFF will make all of your smilies white.

If you want to remove the smiley effect you made, simply type /o into the chat.

/f - Add as friend by ID

To add any user to your friends list when you only have their ID, type /f followed by their ID. Optionally, you can add a name that you want to appear on your friends list.

For example, /f999999999 Abcd will add the user with the ID 999999999 to your friends list with the name "Abcd".

/t - Ignore a user

Type /t in a private chat to ignore a user. If you have the TTTH power, you can also send a full-screen smiley and message along with ignoring.

You can also use the same command in PC to un-ignore a user.

/- or /+ - Disable or enable powers

Type /+powername to enable a power or /-powername to disable a power.

For example, if you type /-nopc on the chat, it will disable the NoPC power.

/go - Moving from a chat to another

On any chat you can use the /go command to move on another chat. All you need to have is the name of the group or its identification number.

For example, if you type /go xat5, you will be redirected to test. Typing /go test will do the same.

/s - Scroll message

If you are an owner or a main owner, you can set a scroll message to show at the bottom of the typing box by typing it in the chat. (See Example 1.)

You can, for example, type:

• /sWelcome to my chat. Please behave well or you will be banned.

You can change the color by adding a color code. For example, add #FF0000 to the end of the message for red:

• /sWelcome to my chat. Please behave well or you will be banned.#FF0000

/p - Protect your group from raids

If your chat is being raided, an owner can enter protect mode by typing /p in the main chat. For 1 hour, new unregistered users will have to solve a CAPTCHA to join the chat. You can turn off protect mode by typing /p again.

Note: There is a 15-second delay after you toggle protect mode on or off and when you may toggle it on or off again.

If /p does not work, you can use these alternative modes to increase the protection:

• /pg or /p2 CAPTCHA unregistered users and gag new guests for 3 minutes

• /pc or /p3 CAPTCHA all guests

• /pR or /p4 Make the chat registered users only. CAPTCHA all guests

• /pr or /p5 Make the chat registered users only without a CAPTCHA

• /pm or /p6 Make the chat members only

The main owner of the chat can use GControl power to change the default duration of hours and the default rank of who can turn on protect mode.

Note: Members and above do not need to complete a CAPTCHA when protect mode is on.

/i - Information

If you are an owner, you can find out who last changed the scroll or who entered protect mode by typing /i in the main chat. You will then receive an automated message along the lines of /s 1345634 /p 2365342, which shows you the IDs of the last users to use the /s and /p commands.

/m - Make a user a moderator

Owners and main owners can type /m in a user's private chat to make them a moderator.

Power "/" commands

Some powers allow you to use more "/" commands. See their articles for more detail.

/away - Away from chat

Add a timer to your pawn to show other users you are away from the chat. See more: Away.

/f - Change your friend's name

Change a friend's display name. See more: Nick.

/g - Make yourself a guest

See more: Guestself.

/h - Temporarily stop users from chatting

Gag all users of a certain rank at once, for a maximum of 60 seconds. This command has a number of customization options.

The default rank to use this command is owner or above. See more: Hush.

/hug - Send a hug

Some powers may come with the ability to send hug animations. Although sending a hug in a private chat is free and has unlimited usage, sending a hug in the main chat costs 10 xats per hug, and a total of 20 hugs can be sent in 24 hours. For more information, see Hugs.

Note:

• All hugs may include an optional message after the hug name.

• These messages can be colored, for example: /hug ny Happy New Year!#ff0000 would use red text.

• /hug can be interchanged with /hugall, and /jinx with /jinxall for the same animations. But always be aware of costs!

/jinx - Send a jinx

This command is used to send jinxes, which change the target's chatting experience. For example, Jumblejinx will jumble the target's messages.

Jinx commands can only be sent in a private chat, and not the main chat. While /jinx is free (jinxing the user in a private chat only), /jinxall (jinxing the user in the main chat) costs 10 xats per use. For more information, see Jinxes.

Note:

• /jinx may be replaced with /jinxall, but, again, be aware of rising costs!

• You cannot jinx a higher rank.

The default rank to use this command is moderator or above. See more: Kickall.

/r - Lock a user to a certain rank

Lock a user's rank, and prevent it from being changed by others until the lock is removed.

/t - Talk to the hand

Type this command in a user's private chat to ignore them, with the option of a giant smiley appearing in their chat if they PC you. To add a smiley and message, type /tMessage#smiley.
