PalaceChat is a visual chat program based which lets you move around rooms, change appearance, chat in text bubbles that come up next to your name, and play games on some servers.

Opening PalaceChat connects you to Chat Palace, a multi-language hub for all users using PalaceChat. To move around here, simply click where you would like to be placed. Type in the text field near the bottom of the screen to chat (clicking someone first would "whisper" the message, so only they would see it). Clicking "doors" placed at the edges of rooms may lead you to other areas of the server.

Right-clicking yourself allows you to select "Change ScreenName", "Avatar Macros" and other helpful features. Macros (i.e. the F2 key) change your appearance to saved avatars. You can trade existing avatars by right-clicking a user and selecting Offer/Accept Avatar. Saving an avatar as a Macro also places it in your prop bag.

Editing Props

To edit props, select the prop/avatar within the prop bag and click Edit.

[[File:Editing.jpg]]

* You'll generally want "Head" selected near the bottom right; having this selected means the default smilies will not show behind your prop/avatar.
* Animate and Bounce can work to have props cycle to the next one you put on, stopping and reversing when hitting one with Bounce selected.
* To draw on a prop (or a new prop), select the pencil icon; select pen size and color, then draw on the large edit screen.
* To erase a background, select the eraser; you can erase similarly to drawing, or select Flood Erase (adjusting Tolerance if needed). This is easiest on images with solid-color backgrounds.
* In addition to moving parts of the prop around with the Selection tool, you can move the entire prop around by dragging it within the smaller graphic window in the lower left.
