Is there a way to set up separate "Hail" for each of your "alts"?

The short answer is no.

The long answer, while no automatic method exist to detect which character you are logged into, you could manually execute a bind to set your hail(s) for that character.

Please refer to the binds thread.

If you want more than one hail for each of your characters, use these.

If you want to just use the one hail, you should go into Options -> Interface and set it there. Also, you can change these under the individual character headers in the config.ini file, which should look like [character name]. The line you'll want to edit is the one that says hailmsg="Hail". Just change the stuff inside the quotes and you'll be good.

Thanks.

MSKanaka - any thoughts on how to change te individual character stuff on a Mac?

Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a two-button mouse) on the Vendetta application, then select "Show Package Contents".

The file should be in the window that pops up. If you want to make it easier to find the file in the future, you can make it a shortcut on the top of finder windows--I've done that for my wgaf.cfg, errors.log and config.ini files.

Didn't they add seperate hails for different characters a while back?

Correct, the setting in the Interface menu has the same effect as editing the config.ini file. The setting is individual to each character.

Yeah, now you only have to mess with the ini if you want multiple hails per chara.

I did not know about the config.ini file. Can you set an alias in this file?

Best way to do it, is to make duplicates of your wgaf.cfg file with all the hails you use, making one for each character and saving them with seperate names. You can load the .cfg files up when you log on using the /load filename.cfg command

I have seperate hails and group/sector chat binds for all of my characters, and I load them all at once this way.

A better way than multiple wgaf.cfg files, is to make individual files for characters that overwrite the old values in the wgaf.cfg file.

Look at how binds work, here ( http://www.vo-wiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Binds#Loading_a_Bind_.28.2Fload_filename.cfg.29 ) for more details.
Example 1 (aliaspsyra.cfg)

alias hail1 "activatechattab 0; msg %target% What did you say?"
alias hail2 "activatechattab 0; msg %target% Want it or not, you have a fight on your hands."
alias hail3 "activatechattab 0; msg %target% Greetings from the SkyCommand Assault Regiment [SCAR]"

bind "1" hail1
bind "2" hail2
bind "3" hail3
echo "PsyRa Hails Loaded"

Example 2(aliasfoo.cfg)

alias hail1 "activatechattab 0; msg %target% I am Foo hear me roar."
alias hail2 "activatechattab 0; msg %target% Foo feels good."
alias hail3 "activatechattab 0; msg %target% Greetings from Foo"

bind "1" hail1
bind "2" hail2
bind "3" hail3

echo "Foo Hails Loaded"

So by just using the /load aliaspsyra.cfg or /load aliasfoo.cfg you can change your suite of hails.

umm, works the same way. I don't see how it would be any better, especially since if you just dupe and rename the wgaf you can eliminate some extra typing. The result is the same in the end anyway...

P.S. I don't think you need the activatechattab 0 - just msg should be sufficient.
