New page

My original intention was to showcase the specific utility of using nicknames and aliases to manage your inventory with a container (sporran), the scroll nicknaming alias, gear loadouts, and a couple of other niche uses of for loops that I think are interesting. But I've come to realize that a list of "useful aliases" has a near perfect overlap of a list of "useful commands" for new players. So with that in mind I'm considering rewriting this section as two (possibly three) articles.

The first one will include all of the aliases from the original article plus many more that are useful but not interesting (to me). This will possibly be useful to new players coming across the page because they will be simultaneously be introduced to commands they might not be familiar with and the lengths they can go through to avoid typing them. It will have more raw alias commands and less commentary than the original. The second article will be more of an intermediate command guide that covers some of the play patterns and less obvious uses of [[targeting]], nicknaming, and lists that I got windy about in the original article while omitting all of the obviously useful junk like set alias short to say typing short words is easier than typing long words.

Below is a rough outline for what those two articles might look like, maybe I'll come back to this later.

=Useful Aliases that will make your brain smarter and keep your keyboard fresh (working title)=

=intro=
Type less words to do more things, duh.
=Useful atman aliases=
==Go commands==
not comprehensive, mostly just a link to [[Xailor's Speedwalks]]
the go commands on the [[Lenses] page deserve a shoutout, I see that page has twice as many views as this one
==Trainer commands==
not comprehensive, though potentially a page for this (similar to xailor's) would be cool, a dynamic procedural one even better
==Inventory management==
(very) briefly explain nickname scheme rationale, link to article #2, invite player to substitute their own
===SPOHO and/or PHOLE stuff===
include SPOHO and PHOL variants
===Gear sets===
similar to original
===Inventory items===
similar
===iouns===
tap em, stow em, pick em up
===Consummables===
scrolls potions lenses food
just noticed there's no [[Oil Lanterns]] article in the [[Category:items]] page
===Dupes===
trying to keep this server-side only, but can maybe talk about triggers here
==Modifying and viewing Behavioural Settings and Character Management==
stats/development, combat settings, suspending/enabling attacks and defenses
keeping/keep capacity
==Info Dumps and Display Settings==
score, common help files like taeb, exploration, experience
stuff that makes sense to view together but isn't a category like cmed/med/cref
attack/damage/deflect[/discharge/launch/throw] or whatever
filtering, pagination
==Common Actions==
variants of treat me, rest/meditate, looting
determine location, wander, look around
extinguish, relent/conciliate (because it's difficult type letters in order while you're on fire)
busting doors, pulling levers, the shadow tower key one
==Followers==
for followers here do say blah to each
for familiars here do concentrate on urging each to blah
check health, treat, check xp, stuff like that
=Incarnoi aliases=
brief about baseline, and posture
==baselineing your (and followers') attack==
the posture nonsense
=Affil aliases=
Hopefully not just things that are obvious like short word better than long word, but those are sometimes fine too, include links to all affils because interconnectivity is good.
==slingers==
==garlic==

=Article #2 Neat things to do with aliases=
=Less write more do=
Aliases that are just abbreviations for commands you don't wanna type
ex to extinguish
think about my ability to form empathic bonds
set specialty degree in
concentrate on urging familiar_name_here to $@
=Less write lots do=
Aliases that are several commands executed in series, sometimes multiple aliases that chain
set attack scatter to 100;set effort to 200;set combat mode to all-out;concentrate on urging familiar to also do that or whatever
go somewhere;unwield weapons;go more in;say something (wait)
go in more;do some more stuff;get thing;go elsewhere;say next thing (wait)
win!
=nicknames=
cover the inventory management stuff in case it's interesting to someone
=for loops=
these are neat and cool
for me and companions do treat each
get foods;eat food;eat food;eat food;put foods
for lanterns do refill each from flask of oil
=baselining=
stop attacking with all;start attacking with good stuff
free hand;wield thing
=fail cases, lists of things, lists of things with exclusions=
the inventory thing possessions and items, belongings, items except belongings, friends etc.
wield $@ two-handed;wield $@
get thing1 and tihng2;get thing2
=contact me if there's cool stuff I don't know I wanna know it=
