Chat
From Howdypedia, the Bang! Howdy wiki
Cowboys are able to chat with other players in the game. The appearance of the text depends on where the player is when they speak. The location at which a player speaks also affects who is able to hear that player. A player is also able to use various commands while chatting for various effects. Players see their own text as slightly green, while others' messages are tinted blue.

[edit] Chat filter
For dealing with potentially offensive curse words, Bang! Howdy has an optional chat filter, which can be configured from the Options menu. There are four settings for the chat filter:
- The "Cowboyification" setting converts questionable language into different, presumably non-offensive words.
- The "Comicification" setting renders questionable language as random symbols (!@#$%&... and so forth).
- The "Drop" setting deletes questionable language entirely.
- The "None" setting turns the filter off.
"Cowboyification" is the default filter setting.
[edit] Abbreviations
From the "Chat" tab in the Options menu, players have the option of automatically expanding abbreviations. When the "Expand Abbreviations" checkbox is selected, certain text phrases and expressions will be automatically replaced by other, more "Cowboyish" dictions. Phrases substituted by expansion, and what they are replaced by, are as follows:
Note: Some of these may need to be at the start of your text to be substituted.

[edit] Chat commands
For ease of use, players can enter commands as text to perform certain tasks. Text commands are as follows:
[edit] Ignore
In the case that a player should not want to view another players' chat messages or pardner/gang invitations, they can "ignore" them by selecting "Ignore" from that players' drop-down menu, by using the /ignore command, or via the "Ignore" button on a gang/pardner invitation. Ignored players' messages and invitations are not visable to those ignoring them. Ignored players can be "Unignored" via the "Unignore" option on their drop-down menu, the /unignore command, or through the "Chat" tab in the Options menu.
