These are the messages in the GMCP Group module.

  • Group.<command> are sent from the server as something changes about the player's group.
  • The client must keep a set of currently known group members, identified by their id numbers. This set is maintained using the Add, Update, Remove, and Set commands.
  • A <character> is an object with the following (optional) keys:
    id a number identifying this character (the only mandatory field)
    name the character's name (a string)
    label the character's label (a string)
    type character type (see below)

    The type field can have one of these string values:

    you your current character
    npc non-player characters
    ally a player character from an allied (sub)race
    enemy a player character from an enemy (sub)race
