The "official" way to give commands is to use the cactus: prefix.

When the ProcessMessages option enabled (default), Agave Tequilana will emulate Cactus2001 by also reading "normal" player messages a player sends to themselves. When PHost is being used, these need to start with a '<' marker, but otherwise do not require a prefix:

<Command:>
defhw 13

(or build 13) will a cactus on planet 13. In addition, forwarding a planet to yourself in VPA will also cause a cactus to be built:

<<< VPA Data Transmission >>>
OBJECT: Planet 13

The 'vote' command is also recognized this way.

Unlike "official" command messages, these messages will echo back to you.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
