So what happened here?

Simple: The client has a new chat command engine, this allows us to add more complicated commands. A lot of HELPs command will/has move(d) to client. On top of that all chat commands now have meaningful help text.

For a list of all existing commands you simply type "/help". If you want to show help text of any command you simply do: "/help commandname" where "commandname"  should be replaced with your command you want to get help text from.

You may have noticed we already have around 160 commands, which is a lot. Showing a command list for tons of commands is horrible, so i added an aditional command which allows you to export the complete command help as json/text/html. To do that, you simply do "/export html". This will generate am easy to read HTML file in your game directory, which will be opened in your default browser. You can also print that help text out to paper, but then i suggest to use "/export text". The JSON format btw is used to update the chat command table on this forum page: http://hostilespace.co.uk/forum/misc.php?hsr=commands. Feel free to use the exported help in any project, f.e. as additional help for your clan homepage.

If you dont have any clue where to start with the tons of commands that exist, you can use "/suggest". This will pick any random command and show its help. This also happens when you have "Help text" turned on in options.

I really suggest that you go through the list, because there are few very useful commands like "/forum", "/reports" (yes the plural), "/browser",  or "/countdown".

On top of that huge update, we have added 2 new sounds to the game. The first sound is made for the mining skill. The second sound is used to indicate game launcher startup. Maybe that launcher sound could be used for map scene switches (/hyperspace, /return, ...).
