Updating Old Extension - Issue with Slash Commands

[tdewitt274]

Hello, All

I was digging back through some old code and trying to get it to work. Sadly, it's from back in 2011 and I think there were some changes along the line. I was wondering if someone could help me get my slash commands working again.

extension.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<root version="3.3" logo="images/pack_logo_mini.png">
	<announcement text="Generic Extention, use '/pack' to start." font="emotefont" icon="logo"/>
	<properties>
		<name>Pack</name>
		<version>0.1.20110108</version>
		<author>tdewitt274</author>
		<description></description>
		<ruleset>Any</ruleset>
	</properties>
	<base>
	<icon name="logo" file="images/pack_logo_mini.png" />
	<script name="packSlashCommands" file="scripts/packchatmanager.lua" />
	<includefile source="graphics.xml" />
	<includefile source="pack.xml" />
	<script>
	</script>
	</base>
</root>

packchatmanager.lua

function printMessage(text, sender, icon, diemodifier)
	local msg = {font = "systemfont"};
	msg.text = text;
	msg.sender = sender;
	msg.icon = icon;
	msg.diemodifier = diemodifier;
	Comm.addChatMessage(msg);
end
function packHelp()
	printMessage("Commands:");
end
function onInit()
	Comm.registerSlashHandler("/pack",packHelp);
	registerSpecialMsgHandler("pack",packHelp);
end

I changed up the old "ChatManager" to the "Comm", but I can't seem to get the desired info to display in the chat. All I get is the standard "/help" message. It used to work, a decade ago, but I can't seem to find the appropriate search terms to get it to work.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
Todd

Do a find in files for "registerSlashHandler" in any of the recent rulesets to get examples. The scripts\manager_chat.lua script file in CoreRPG will give you a few. I think the key thing is not to have the / - so use "pack" not "/pack".

Thanks, Trenloe!

It was the slashes all along.
