MUSH to MOO Guide

Aliases

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.

Accordingly, we offer support for aliasing a lot of commands in BeipMU. 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.

This alias allows the attack command to take an = instead of a with, in the manner common on MUSHes.

This alias allows reaction commands to take the MUSH convention format of +reactiontype # instead of the MOO convention format of +defend # with reactiontype.
