Chat Configs

Outward Chat Commands Configs

Bind chat messages to game events. When an event fires, the bound message will be sent to chat.

Dependencies

This mod requires the following mods to function:

• Chat Commands Manager - Provides chat command functionality
• Mods Communicator - Enables communication between mods
• SideLoader - Required for SL events (optional)

Chat Configs is designed for players who want to automate chat commands without C# programming. Similar to console commands in older games, it lets you store command sequences and execute them automatically when game events occur. Perfect for modders who prefer chat-based configuration over C# development.

Chat Config

Chat Config allows you to bind chat messages to game events. When an event fires, all bound messages will be automatically sent to chat.

Commands

/bind

Binds a chat message to an event. When the event fires, the message will be sent to chat.

• --mod (required) - Mod namespace (e.g., "MyMod", "SL", "gymmed")
• --event (required) - Event name (e.g., "OnSceneLoaded", "OnFirstGameReady")
• --message (required) - Chat message to send when event fires

Usage:

/bind --mod="SL" --event="OnSceneLoaded" --message="/say Hello from scene loaded!"

/bind --mod="gymmed" --event="OnFirstGameReady" --message="/command --param='value'"

/unbind

Removes a bound message from an event.

Parameters:

• --mod (required) - Mod namespace

/unbind --mod="gymmed" --event="OnFirstGameReady" --index=1

/listbinds

Shows all bound messages, optionally filtered by mod namespace.

• --mod (optional) - Filter by mod namespace

/listbinds --mod="SL"

Practical Examples

This section shows how Chat Configs can automate other mods using /bind + /publish.

Important: When to Use Which Event

| Event | Use Case |

|-------|----------|

| SL.OnSceneLoaded | Testing/debugging only (rules reapplied each scene) |

| gymmed.OnFirstGameReady | Production use - rules applied once per session |

Warning: Never use SL.OnSceneLoaded for Loot Manager or Enemies Balancer rules - they persist and will duplicate on every scene load!

Prerequisites

These examples require:

• Loot Manager - For loot modifications
• Enemies Balancer - For enemy stat modifications
• Mods Communicator Chat Control - For /publish command

Loot Manager Examples

All examples use gymmed.OnFirstGameReady to apply rules once when game starts.

Add Loot to Bandit Faction

Adds Dreamer's Root (4000360) to all Bandit enemies when game starts.

/bind --mod="gymmed" --event="OnFirstGameReady" --message="/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* AddLoot --itemId=4000360 --faction=Bandits"

Parameters: minDropCount, maxDropCount control drop quantity.

Add Loot to Specific Area

Adds loot to all enemies in the Abrassar region.

/bind --mod="gymmed" --event="OnFirstGameReady" --message="/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* AddLoot --itemId=4000360 --area=Abrassar"

Make All Bosses Lootable

Makes all bosses drop a specific item.

/bind --mod="gymmed" --event="OnFirstGameReady" --message="/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* AddLootForUniques --itemId=4300040 --isForBosses=true"

Enemies Balancer Examples

All examples use gymmed.OnFirstGameReady to apply rules once when game starts.

Buff Hyena Health

Doubles Hyena health when game starts.

/bind --mod="gymmed" --event="OnFirstGameReady" --message="/publish gymmed.enemies_balancer_* AddBalanceRuleByEnemyName --enemyName=Hyena --statType=MaxHealth --value=2.0 --modifierType=Scale"

modifierType=Scale multiplies stat (2.0 = 200% = double).

Buff All Bosses

Increases all boss health and health regen when game starts.

/bind --mod="gymmed" --event="OnFirstGameReady" --message="/publish gymmed.enemies_balancer_* ModifyVitalSt
