How to make alias?
|
I tried to make alias using cmud but it can't work at all.
For example, i use cmud to create new alias.
I put 'b' above and 'clantalk' belolw. but when i enter b into the mud, it is just a b and don't expands out.
Thank you. |

Hm... I'm not sure if non-special non-alpha characters should be working or not. It sounds a bit suspect.

Those are the special characters that cannot be used as alias names or the first character of alias names (from the command line, at least). The other ones can be used in any configuration you want (ie, while !c will work as a valid alias name I'm not sure it'd work if you had an alias named c in the command history as !c would just reference the c alias instead.) |

I'm not sure about the '[' but remember the ')' would be considered part of an expression evaluation so it could cause parser problems.
Keep in mind that CMUD scripting language is more strict so things like that will likely kick back. |

but if your mud allows aliasing in the mud itself it will be okay! but that is besides the point.. :P

You can kludge it by making a command input trigger
#ONINPUT {^[ (*)} {backstab %1}
That'll work, I'm not sure why there are two spaces after backstab instead of one, I think that's a bug that I'm gonna post about now. Can either wait for the two spaces thing to be fixed, or force a fix with
#ONINPUT {^[ (*)} {backstab %trim(%1)} |
