Mods Communicator Chat Control

Outward Mods Communicator Chat Control

Provides access to

Mods Communicator through chat.

It enables event-driven communication between mods, allowing users to

interact with them directly through chat.

How to use it

Firstly, install [Chat Commands

Manager](

After that, you can use the commands provided by this mod directly in chat.

Built-in Commands

/events

Lists all registered events from OutwardModsCommunicator.

Usage:

/events

/event

Gets detailed information about a specific event including its parameters and types.

Usage:

/event gymmed.chat_commands_manager_* ChatCommandsManager@AddChatCommand

/event --mod=gymmed.chat_commands_manager_* --event=ChatCommandsManager@AddChatCommand

/event gymmed.loot_manager_* AddLoot

/publish

Publishes an event to OutwardModsCommunicator directly from chat. Parameters are dynamically parsed based on the event's registered schema in Mods Communicator.

How it works:

The mod reads the registered event parameters from Mods Communicator and automatically parses your chat input to match the expected types. If a parameter type cannot be parsed from a string (like functions or delegates), it will be skipped. Unregistered parameters are silently ignored, giving you flexibility.

Usage:

/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* LootRulesSerializer@SaveLootRulesToXml

/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* LootRulesSerializer@LoadCustomLoots --filePath="C:/documents/myPath"

/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* AddLoot --itemId=4300040 --faction=bandits

/publish gymmed.loot_manager_* AddLoot --itemId=4300040 --faction="bandits"

/publish --event=AddLoot --itemId=4300040 --faction=Deer

Supported Types:

• Primitives: string, int, float, bool, double, long, decimal, char
• Enums: Any game enum (e.g., Character.Factions.Bandits, Character.Factions.Deer)
• Nullable<T>: Optional enum/primitive types (e.g., Nullable<Character.Factions>)
• IEnumerable/ICollection: Space-separated values (e.g., --names="Sword Shield" becomes List<string>)
• Arrays: Space-separated values (e.g., --ids="4300040 4300041")

Notes:

• Parameters can be passed positionally (in order) or by name (--param=value)
• If mod namespace is omitted, searches all registered mods for the event
• If a value cannot be parsed to the expected type, an error is shown and the event is NOT published
• Unregistered parameters (not defined in the event schema) are silently dropped - they are not added to the event payload
• Each mod is responsible for validating and handling the received data in their own event handlers
