Couldn't you just type in "n","w","e", and "s" (and also "u" and "d")?  It's not that hard.

See, that is what I have been doing all these years.  And I still do, but now that I know about the directional keys..I may have to switch.

I've known about these for years and I still type it in.

It's like 50% more efficient and all the directions are right there, instead of spread out across the keyboard. And then you can disable single direction commands like "n" so whenever you accidentally miss the L in "look north" or just "l n" you wont accidentally walk off the shield wall or away from your group.

Oh, right, DUH!

I don't use ^me in emotes but in aliases it can be nice.  Also I like how you don't have to close the parentheses on action emotes:

alias o open pack (bringing it around to ^me front)
alias o close pack (shrugging it onto ^me shoulders)

> o
Bringing it around to your front, you open your leather pack.

> c [and then sigh
Shrugging it onto your shoulders, you close your leather pack, and then sigh.

Stop being lazy. Your sex scenes will suck without the symbols.

what sex scenes?


Another cool trick I saw another player use: send an emote and a kill command to the MUD at the same time (or as close as possible: emote does a triple ninja flip!!; kill chef) and they stack up without a space between them.  Almost as good as a command emote (which maybe there should be for the kill command).

I am unable to respond to PMs sent on the GDB. If you want to send me something, please send it to my email.

See, macros are nothing for movement...

Where they really shine is the look commands.
Any questions, comments, or condemnations to an eternity of fiery torment?

Being a primarily FTB player who has rarely played the "stealth" guilds, I occasionally ask if it is really as bad as people make it out to be.

The answer is, by all accounts, a resounding yes.

I like sniff room. I only discovered it recently, but there's some pretty neat descriptions for different rooms.

I wish I could figure out every NPC's name...

Crappy. Every last one should have one, even just normal soldier npcs.

You accidentally snap newbie into useless pieces.

I want to see how long the code-lines are for just Discuss <NPC> name without the other parts before I say I want this.

I have a feeling the reason this is done only for specific NPC's is that it's both time consuming, code intensive, and would require a larger database (and therefore higher server rental) than we have at the moment.

I know I remember wanting to refer to a stable worker, and I was stuck with using a mix of the mdesc and sdesc...

You'd figure with what you trust some of these people (NPCs) with, you'd might learn their name over a time.

Although I could imagine all the work that be involved in trying to track down every NPC and find a unique name for each one.

You can drop an item and arrange it at the same time.

We all know about command emotes using square and round parentheses:


> l i bag (holding it open) [shaking its contents]
Holding it open, you look in your large bag, shaking its contents.


Did you know about the loosely documented asterisk version?


> l i bag [shaking its contents] *holding it open*
Holding it open, you look in your large bag, shaking its contents.

> l i bag (holding it open) *shaking its contents*
Holding it open, you look in your large bag, shaking its contents.

> l i bag *holding it open* *shaking its contents*
Holding it open, you look in your large bag, shaking its contents.

I like using keystrokes without needing the shift key.  That is why I use  em  not ~ to start an emote.

2) It will sit you on the seventh piece of furniture, whatever that may be (a table, a bar, a giant pillow, etc). 'look tables' will give you the numbered list.

Isn't "keyword table"?

Keyword is a modern addition to the code. Look tables is the legacy code specifically for tables/furniture in taverns.

Never knew this one.
