Coalition and Eternals Channel

Tutorial Guide

Prepared by Psych Ward for the Eternals

(A City of Heroes

Super Group on the Virtue Server)

Hi gang.

This tutorial was put together to help new & existing members of the Eternals

get set up with Coalition and Eternals chat channels, allowing us to more easily

communicate with one another across Super Groups and servers.

Description of Channels

First off, a quick description of each:

•

Coalition Chat:

Because the Eternals consist of multiple super groups (currently

the Eternals, Eternal Knights and Eternal Legends), we have implemented the

Coalition Chat option in CoH to allow us to speak to one another regardless of

which SG each of us happens to be in when we’re speaking.

By speaking in this

channel, anyone in any of the three groups can see your message, but only if

they’re playing a character in that group at the time.

•

Eternals Channel:

The Eternals channel is a global channel we set up

specifically for the Eternals on Virtue.

Since global channels allow anyone in

them to communicate across servers with anyone else in the channel, regardless

of which character they’re playing, we’ve created our own channel to make it

easier to get in touch with one another in the event some people are playing

alternate characters.

Messages in this channel can only be seen by people in

the channel, and they appear with the sender’s Global Chat Handle (instead of

the name of the character they’re currently playing).

Adding Channels to Chat Window

Now that we have that out of the way, we’re going to first add each of these channels to

a tab in your chat window so that you can see text you type in that channel as well as

others’.

These channels are not automatically added to a chat window when you first

join the Eternals, but once you add them to a window they will be there each time you

log on afterward.

First, you need to pick which tab in which chat window you’re going to add the channels

to.

In my example below, I’m adding the channels to the

Bottom

tab in my bottom chat

window:

To add channels, right-click the tab you want to use and select

Edit Tab

from the menu

that appears.

The following screen will appear:

If the

Eternals

channel does not appear in the

Available Channels

section on the right of

this screen, you will need to ask a Founding or Senior member to invite you, as it is a

private channel.

The

Join Channel

button will not allow you to join.

Once you have both the

Eternals

and

Coalition

channels available, just select one of

them in the

Available Channels

menu and click the

Add

button, as so:

Once you have both channels added to the

Selected Channels

screen, it should look

like this:

With this, you’re done!

Click the

button to exit this screen.

Chatting in Coalition and Eternals Chat

Now that you’ve added the channels to a chat window, you will be able to see all

Coalition and Eternals chat messages sent by other players.

“Great, but how do I send

messages myself,” you may ask.

Well, here you go:

•

Coalition Chat:

There are two ways to send messages to the Coalition channel.

First, you can select the small “C” above your message line near the bottom of

your chat window, like so:

As this can be time consuming (especially if you’re in the middle of a battle), I

prefer to instead just us the shortcut,

, like so:

/c Hi Gang!

Anyone else in any of the Eternals super groups will see something like the

following:

Psych Ward [Eternal Legends]:

Hi Gang!

Note:

When you use a shortcut beginning with the slash key ( / ), remember you

don’t have to press Enter or click one of the small chat buttons like the

Coalition

button above; just type

and your message and hit Enter.

•

Eternals Channel:

There are also two ways to speak in the Eternals channel.

One of these ways makes use of the

Active

chat tab.

Personally, I find this

difficult and time-consuming to use; it’s like the first option listed above for the

Coalition channel, just more annoying.

Instead, I’m going to show you the

shortcut to use for speaking in Eternals channel:

/send Eternals Hi Gang!

Eternals Guide to Coalition and Eternals Channels – Page 5

Updated 6/17/2005

Note two things:

First, that there is no comma used after the channel name

(Eternals) like there would be if you were sending someone a /t message.

Secondly, that’s a lot to type just to say “Hi Gang!” to people on the Eternals

channel, don’t you think?

So, here’s another shortcut:

A keybind for talking in Eternals chat with just the

press of one key:

/bind e “beginchat /send Eternals “

Now, typing the above will not send a message; what this does instead is set a

key (in this case, the “E” key) to automatically put “/send Eternals “ in the

message section of your chat screen.

This saves a lot of time typing, since all

you’ll have to do to send a message to the Eternals channel is press E before

typing a message and pressing Enter.

You can bind this command to other keys as well; I’m not going to go into all of

the keybind options here, as there is a wonderful player-created tutorial available

on the official CoH forums for that kind of information.

If you’re interested, look it

up from the link available on the Eternals website.

Seeing Who Is On In the Eternals

An easy way to tell who is on in the Eternals is using the Eternals channel list.

You can

see the list by pulling up your

Friends

screen and clicking the dropdown menu to select

Eternals

The global chat handle of anyone logged into the game with access to the Eternals

channel will be displayed here.
