BeipMU Aliases

Aliasing

We are well aware that not everyone is going to like every function of MOO, and that there are a lot of common MUSH conventions it gets just... barely... wrong. Just a touch. Even if you haven't MUSHed before, there are some syntax things you may like a little better.

Accordingly, we offer support for aliasing a lot of commands in BeipMU. Adding aliases can be achieved by going to Options -> Aliases in BeipMU's dropdown menu. Highlight the SRTMOO world, and click New to begin building a new alias.

These aliases are provided below, in the following format:

Matcharoo - place this in the Matcharoo box of the alias prompt.

Alias For - place this in the Alias For box of the alias prompt.

Other - Boxes that must be ticked in the alias.

The "Process Aliases" box in the upper right of the alias builder must be checked. Remember to check the Process Aliases box in the upper right and hit Apply when finished!
