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!

Interaction Commands

Quit

This alias makes QUIT (MUSH syntax) fire a successful @quit.

Matcharoo: QUIT

Alias for: @quit

Other: Whole Word, Match Case

Semipose Shortcut

This alias makes MUSH's semipose character (;) retrieve MOO's semipose syntax (::).

Matcharoo: ;

Alias For: ::

Other: Line Starts With...

@emit Shortcut

This alias makes MUSH's emit shortcut character (\) retrieve MOO's emit syntax (@emit ).

Matcharoo: \

Alias For: @emit Please note: It is VERY IMPORTANT to include a trailing space after this. That is, the Alias For field is "@emit ", not "@emit".

Other: Line Starts With...

Emoticon Pose Shortcut

This alias is... admittedly niche; it allows for MUSH-like pose behavior specifically in the context of doing a pose that begins with an emoticon.

Matcharoo: ::

Channel Commands

Channel Listing

This alias makes MOO channel listing work like MUSH channel list.

Matcharoo: @chan/list

Alias For: @chanlist

Other: Line Starts With...

Channel Posing

This alias makes MOO channel posing work like MUSH channel posing.

Matcharoo: \+([\w']*\p{L}*\w[\w.]*(?:-\w+.)?) :

Alias For: =\1 Please note: It is very important to include a trailing space after this. That is, the Alias For field is "=\1 ", not "=\1".

Other: Regular Expression

Csys Commands

Attack Command

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

Matcharoo: \+attack ([\w']*\p{L}*\w[\w.]*(?:-\w+.)?)=([\w']*\p{L}*\w[\w.]*(?:-\w+.)?)

Alias For: +attack \1 with \2

Other: Regular Expression

Defense Command

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

Matcharoo: \+(block|parry|react|retreat|rush|charge|evade|intercept|accept) ([\w']*\p{L}*\w[\w.]*(?:-\w+.)?)

Alias For: +defend \2 with \1

Other: Regular Expression

Auxiliary Calculator - Spirit

This alias shortens "+use Auxiliary Calculator - Spiritname" to simply "+aux Spiritname". Use this if you cannot for the life of you remember to type +use Auxiliary Calculator - Wall every time. I, the director, cannot.

Matcharoo: \+aux ([\w']*\p{L}*\w[\w.]*(?:-\w+.)?)

Alias For: +use Auxiliary Calculator - \1

Other: Regular Expression

Auxiliary Calculator - Spirit

This alias shortens "+use Auxiliary Calculator - Spiritname on target" to simply "+aux Target=Spiritname".

Matcharoo: \+aux ([\w']*\p{L}*\w[\w.]*(?:-\w+.)?)=([\w']*\p{L}*\w[\w.]*(?:-\w+.)?)

Alias For: +use Auxiliary Calculator - \2 on \1

Other: Regular Expression
