Aliases

Introduction

Aliases are probably something that every player uses all the time but never share with other people. Usually the subject is broached when a new player asks on the talker about how best to loot a corpse or draw their weapons, etc. The following sections have been created to share your alias with everyone else. There are sections for utility aliases, communications, combat, exploration, and fun.

To create an alias use this syntax: "alias <ALIAS NAME> <COMMAND>". When an alias has $*$ or $1$, $2$ etc, it's where you insert whatever you want the alias to act on or with. For example alias bs backstab $1$ when I see a troll on Short street I would type bs troll and the alias will do the work.

So, we can see that, in its simplest form, an alias can be a letter or two that replaces a command or commands.

If you wish to add your alias to the list you can edit the file right here, once you have an ID with the proper rights (contact Danduin in game for this). There is a specific format I would like to keep for consistency and my sanity.

Easy Looting - By Heather

The alias part of this "alias" group is rather simple, but relies on nicknames to make it more useful. The main benefit of keeping the lists of items as nicknames rather than as part of the main alias, other than making the alias much easier to read, is that you can refer to the nicknames outside of the alias. For example, you come across a pile of stuff on the ground you can 'get lootlist'. The lootlist is my personal list of things I find worth grabbing, so you might want to customize the list to fit your needs. Also, the highcoin and lowcoin can be customized. I basically put everything worth over 10 AM pennies in the highcoin list, everything else goes in lowcoin.

The Aliases

alias loot get lootlist from $arg:corpses$;lootstore lootlist;get highcoin from $arg:corpses$;drop lowcoin;bury $arg:corpses$

alias lootstore put $*$ in lootbag

The Nicknames

As you can see, you simply type 'loot' and by default it takes all items from the lootlist nickname, stores it in your lootbag, gets only the high value coins, does housekeeping to drop the low value coins, and buries your corpse. If you don't type an argument after 'loot' it does this for all corpses in the room, otherwise you can type 'loot corpse 1' or whatever to target specific corpses. Note: You must identify a container as your lootbag for this to work, for example "identify black backpack as lootbag"
