jScompass includes a video emote (which I call vemotes) feature.  This feature allows you to view video or sound clips created by others, and to create your own video clips that others can view.  The collections you create can be easily shared with other users of jScompass.

Using a vemote

Using a vemote is simple.  All you have to do to view and send a vemote to others, is type the vemote’s trigger with a semicolon in front.  This is very similar to There emotes, only using a semicolon (“;”).  Here’s an example:

;lost

If you type ;lost your compass will display the lost vemote, which is the opening title sequence to the TV show LOST.  Everyone near you using jScompass will also see this vemote.  In addition, you can also enter a vemote with a trailing semicolon, such as:

;lost;

Entering a vemote in this way will play it for others near you, but you will not see or hear it.  This is similar in some ways to emotes in There with a “tick” (apostrophe) at the end, where it does not show the text of the emote but just performs it.

/vemote Commands

There are also /vemote (or /ve) commands, which control the vemote system.  These commands are as follows:

In addition, there is also a /veto command, to direct a vemote to a certain user.  For example, /veto jerseySteve87 lost would play the ;lost vemote.  In this command you do NOT use the semicolon before the trigger.

Built-In vemotes

jScompass includes several vemotes.  I plan to eventually add to the list of built-in vemotes, but as of now, they are:

Other included vecollections

In addition to these vemotes, the following vecollections are automatically included which were created by others:
