FurSuite

FurSuite Documentation

Welcome to FurSuite After completing the FurSuite installation, there will be two new Start menu shortcuts located in the Furcadia directory. The first shortcut is for FurSuite and the other is for FurSuite Update. To use Furcadia with FurSuite, open the FurSuite program. Every time you want to open a new Furcadia client with FurSuite, you will need to reopen the FurSuite program.

FurSuite runs invisibly in the background. There is no direct user interface, no system tray icon or task bar icon. FurSuite runs when you open FurSuite and shuts down automatically when you close Furcadia. No GUI allows FurSuite to have a minimal footprint and focus more energy into being just a proxy.

To access the main FurSuite menu, you must be in a game client using FurSuite. You can either say @fur or use `fur. FurSuite's menus are all click based, but all commands can be sent manually to the proxy through the chat box. To see a command, hover your cursor over the button or link.

For your reading pleasure, here is FurSuite's complete Change Log.

Connection

FurSuite includes furre direction and position persistence. It records your last know direction and position and goes back to that direction and position the next time you connect to Furcadia.

Reconnect: Reconnect FurSuite to Furcadia. You will return to the spot you were in. This can be used to save your return location for when the proxy reconnects or relogs. It is recommended to save your location if you want to stay in one spot for a long period of time.
Relog: Override your current Furcadia connection to return to your saved return location or somewhere nearby it if there is already a furre there.
Disconnect: Disconnect FurSuite from the Furcadia server. Your game client will remain connected to FurSuite, waiting for manual connection.
Connect: This will be the only connection option available in the @fur menu if FurSuite is disconnected from Furcadia.

Text Place Holders

While playing Furcadia, you can use a series of place holders that expand into various pieces of information. These place holders are useful for saving time and frustration in various situations.

[target]: This will be expanded to your target furre's name. Your target furre is the last furre you looked at or yourself and is the same name you see in Furcadia's username label.
[uphour]: This will expend to the number of hours you have been connected to Furcadia.
[upminute]: This will expend to the number of minutes of the current hour that you have been connected to Furcadia.
[upsecond]: This will expend to the number of seconds of the current minute that you have been connected to Furcadia.

Description Fonts

Furre's using FurSuite are able to use markup tags to automatically replace text within their description with its Unicode or designed equivalent, modifying the original description as it is being sent to the Furcadia server.

Circle: <circle></circle> All of your letters and numbers will have circles around them.
Fancy: <fancy></fancy> A cursive like font.
Strong: <strong></strong> All of your letters and numbers will have a thick mono look.

Furcadia Style Commands

FurSuite adds a handful of new commands to the Furcadia game client. These commands will require you to use ` (the ~ key).

`map or `select: Select from a list of recently opened map files to upload in the space directly infront of you.
`mapx or `selectx: Select from a list of recently opened map files to upload in the space your furre is currently in.

Channels

FurSuite gives you the ability to toggle "channels" that could otherwise not be turned off. Use them like you would the news or spice channels.

=ads, =adverts, =advertisements: This will toggle Furcadia's advertisements as though it is as channel.

Privacy, Whitelist and Blacklist

Privacy: Some interactive features included FurSuite use a "whitelist" and a "blacklist". This is where you can change which list each interactive feature uses.
Whitelist: If a feature is using the whitelist, only furres on the whitelist will be able to use that interactive feature. This is where you can remove somebody from the whitelist.
Blacklist: If a feature is using the blacklist, any furre except for the furres on the blacklist will be able to use that feature. This is where you can remove somebody from the blacklist.
