evennia.contrib.mail¶

In-Game Mail system

Evennia Contribution - grungies1138 2016

A simple Brandymail style @mail system that uses the Msg class from Evennia Core. It has two Commands, both of which can be used on their own:

CmdMail - this should sit on the Account cmdset and makes the @mail command

available both IC and OOC. Mails will always go to Accounts (other players).

CmdMailCharacter - this should sit on the Character cmdset and makes the @mail

command ONLY available when puppeting a character. Mails will be sent to other Characters only and will not be available when OOC.

If adding both commands to their respective cmdsets, you’ll get two separate

IC and OOC mailing systems, with different lists of mail for IC and OOC modes.

Installation:

Install one or both of the following (see above):

CmdMail (IC + OOC mail, sent between players)

# mygame/commands/default_cmds.py

from evennia.contrib import mail

# in AccountCmdSet.at_cmdset_creation:
self.add(mail.CmdMail())
CmdMailCharacter (optional, IC only mail, sent between characters)

# mygame/commands/default_cmds.py

from evennia.contrib import mail

# in CharacterCmdSet.at_cmdset_creation:
self.add(mail.CmdMailCharacter())

Once installed, use help mail in game for help with the mail command. Use @ic/@ooc to switch in and out of IC/OOC modes.
