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. 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 hit Apply when finished!
