Diku Alias Functionality

[roughneck]

Hey gang, so I like to use the mud supported aliases. They are super helpful because I play from different computers with different clients, hell, sometimes I even play from my phone.

Very recently, I've been getting the message 'action not supported' whenever I try to use the alias command in any way. The odd thing is the aliases I had previously set up are still working, I just can't see the list of aliases, or set up new aliases, or delete current aliases.

Is this my problem? Or is it Ginka's problem? What sacrifice do I need to make? Is there a sin I have not atoned for? Does Ginka think I cheated and now she's holding out on me?

Throwing this out there before I bug it, because it may be something on my end I'm ignorant to! Maybe I changed a setting without realizing. Thank y'all.

If you have an alias set in game and the same alias in your client, but tagged to different commands, that could happen. I think it attempts to use the client alias first.

I'm using different clients on different computers, just the game alias is causing an issue...

Even typing 'alias' to get a list of game aliases is not currently working.

Anyone else having the same issue?

It would depend on which clients, it may be that "alias" on one client is an actual internal command, conflicting with Arm's Alias system.

Which might explain why "Action Not Supported" is displaying, since I don't think I've seen that from Arm before. It sounds client-specific, saying you can't type "Alias <shortcut> <action>" because that's not how the CLIENT handles aliases.

Tried the flash client on the website, mudlet at home, and the modportal web-based client.

All same 'action not supported' thing. Hrm.

Sorry, I can't help. Mine seem to be working just fine.

Thanks for checking!

So, I had 'alias' set as one of my aliases... must have typed it twice.

It really confused Ginka.

Fuuuuck me tender. I astound me.
