Share your common 'alias'es for ArmageddonMUD

https://www.armageddon.org/help/view/Alias
Alias is a command that allows you to shorten your input commands into the MUD.


I suggest to share the most popular ones you use when you set up your character in this thread.



I often set up my character's aliases with these:
alias speak change language
alias accent change accent

[Ammut]

alias [ raise hood
alias ] lower hood
alias - change language sirihish
alias -- change language allundean
alias --- change language bendune
(and so on)
alias 0 disengage
alias cl change ldesc
alias 1 draw (weapon)
alias 2 sheath (weapon)
alias 3 change hands

[mansa]

...
alias 1 draw (weapon)
alias 2 sheath (weapon)
...

Do you type "1 axe" or "1 sword.black"
Or do you alias the keywords for your weapon too?

[Brytta Léofa]

Weapon aliases - updated depending on character's fighting style and primary weapon
alias dp draw spear (primary weapon)
alias ds draw sword (backup weapon)
alias sp sheath spear back
(no alias for sheathing the backup weapon, probably because it doesn't come out that often)

Other fightin' aliases
alias ch change hands ep etwo
alias dg disengage
alias asr ass -v room
Edit: also,
  alias pq pull quiver
  alias ld load sling

Languages
alias siri change language sirihish
alias bendu change language bendune
alias alun change language allundean

For 'gickers
alias spe skills magick
Aliases for specific spells as needed, set long enough that I don't accidentally them; e.g.
  alias fireb cast 'sul un suk-krath foo bar'

[Ammut]

...
alias 1 draw (weapon)
alias 2 sheath (weapon)
...

Do you type "1 axe" or "1 sword.black"
Or do you alias the keywords for your weapon too?

Typically I hard code the primary weapon I'm using to save time on typing.  Milliseconds count when you're in combat.

[Rojer]

elvish: change language alludian
dwarvish: change language mirukkim
common: change language sirihish

swap: change hands es ep
ds: draw spear
ss: sheath spear back
alias dc: draw club
alias sc: sheath club
etc.

for casters:
alias fly1: cast 'wek un fly'
alias fly2: cast 'yuqa un fly'
and so on

and because I learned unix at the same time I started playing muds, I always alias ls to look.

[Incognito]

Aliases I use a lot:
ht - hold torch
rt - rem torch
gc - get coins pack
pc - put coins pack
dd - disengage
pack1 - open pack
pack2 - close pack
xx - assist <name>
yy - rescue <name>

[flurry]

for casters:
alias fly1: cast 'wek un fly'
alias fly2: cast 'yuqa un fly'
and so on

Oh, this reminds me of the bonkers way that I alias spells when I've played magickers (which thankfully is not often).

I would have an abbreviation (like sh for a made-up spell to summon hawk), followed by 0 or 1 for whether it's un, followed by a digit from 1-7 for the horn.

So I'd have 14 separate aliases per spell, in this case sh01 through sh07 and then sh11 through sh17.

Once it was all set up, I kind of liked having it, but it was a bit of a process.

I'm going to steal the leading 0 for nil, that's a great idea.
In the past I have used: fly-1, to indicate use of qntlz

[SpyGuy]

Z for stop

Everything else is just initials or abbreviations

dkb- draw knife boots
cls - change language sirihish

Etc

[Riev]

cls - change language sirihish

Instructions unclear, entire screen has been cleared.


My main aliases are:

cl - Change Language
ca - Change Accent
ch - Change Hands
ass - assess -v

Everything else varies by character. Often times I'll do:
sad - emote @'s face draws downward into a pout
angry - emote digs %me foot into the ground in a twisting motion

etc etc

[Krath]

Pfb - cast 'pav un fireball'
Sfb - cast 'sul un fireball'

Etc etc for spells.

[Halcyon]

I use zmud.
I use the following pattern for spell aliases:

#alias castspell {'cast %1 %2 element sphere mood' %3}

This allows filling in the variables from the command line, with use like:

castarmor wek un me

It takes a little more typing, but only requires one alias per spell

Similarly

#alias {sshoot} {
get arrow bag
#wa 500
wield arrow
#wa 500
shoot %1 %2}

So, sshoot jozhal east

I also use:


looka -
  look north
  look east
  look west
  look south
  look up
  look down

hunteast
   go east
   #wa 2000
   looka
  #wa 5000
   hunt

searcheast
   go east
   #wa 2000
   looka
  #wa 5000
   search

And while not the same, I use a unique character string in my prompt, qzxvft .

I use the trigger:

#trigger {qzxvft} {#sub %time(c)}

This results in every prompt line starting with the current date and timestamp.

3/10/2022 10:18:39 AM xxx/xxxhp    etc

blah blah blah

That's not using the in-game alias command....Which is the point of this thread.

Make your own thread about your mud client magic.

*shakes fist in the air like an angry old man*

[Kestria]

I'm now wondering why I do not use more myself, may have to make a day of shorten some!

Only one I use is :

ll

which is basically look in all directions.

[Brytta Léofa]

ll
which is basically look in all directions.

You can't do that with the in-game alias command. (points to previous post) (makes grumpy noise)

[Barsook]

cls - change language sirihish

I do the same!

And this one is my main one that I use on all of my PC's (yes, it could be better):

alias nof disengage

[cupbearer]

The first thing I do every time is

alias f flee
alias ff flee self

The rest can wait
