#310 Usage: alias [alias name] [command] An alias is a single command used to represent one or more other commands. The ALIAS command can be used to manipulate your character's aliases. Type ALIAS alone to see a List of your currently defined aliases. > alias To CREATE a new alias: type ALIAS . The alias name must be one word. The command can be any string. Aliases may not be nested or used recursively. Any command may be overridden by an alias (other than the ALIAS command itself, of course). > alias gbb get bread bag > alias gac get all corpse To DELETE an alias: type ALIAS . > alias gbb To DEFINE MULTIPLE ACTIONS: A semicolon (';') is used to separate the actions. > alias eat get bread bag; eat bread Note that the 'eat' contained within the eat alias is interpreted as the MUD's internal eat command.

Nested ~ #311 Usage: color [off | sparse | normal | complete] If you have a color-capable terminal and wish to see useful color- coding of information, use the COLOR command to set the level of coloring you see. > color off This command disables all color. > color sparse > color normal > color complete These three commands turn color on to various levels. Experiment to see which level suits your personal taste. 'color' with no argument will display your current color level. Using color will slow down the speed at which you see messages VERY slightly. The effect is more noticeable on slower connections. Even if you have color turned on, non-colorized messages will not be slowed down at all. See Also: Toggle ~ #312 Armor deflects attacks. Different types and combinations of armor have different ratings. These ratings affect your armor 'class' (commonly called 'AC'). Your AC is your total armor rating. The higher your AC, the more attacks will miss you (up to about 20%). AC is ranked between 0 and 200: AC Roughly equivalent to --- --------------------- 0 Unarmored 100 Full Mandalorian Battle Armor 200 Fully-customized Beskar & Cortosis Armor 'Score' gives a brief note about your armor class. 'Score stat' shows your exact AC. See Also: Score ~ #313 Usage: assist [person] If Duke is being beaten senseless by Darth Vader and you feel brave enough to help him, type ASSIST DUKE to hit Vader. Note that Vader will keep hitting Duke; assist only makes you start to fight whomever the person you're assisting is fighting, also note that assisting a person sometimes makes the mob attack you occasionally. If you are in a GROUP and your leader is fighting, then typing ASSIST with no arguments will instruct your character try to assist your active group leader. Note that some mobs will assist others in the room during any combat. Be careful that you are mindful of your surroundings. See Also: Autoassist Rescue Kill Flee ~ #314 Revenge of the Jedi MUD has an automated auction function that makes it easy and safe to bid on items with a minimum amount of hassle. To AUCTION an item: auction If no minbid is specified, then the value of the object will be used. If the item as 0 value, then you must set something. To CANCEL an auction: auction cancel You must be the seller, obviously. To BID in an auction: bid You are limited to bids that are 10% higher than previous bid. You can bid with both money in hand, and in the bank. To check the STATS of the item: auction stat The result is the same as if you had scanned the item. It costs 3000 credits each time, and you must have the credits on you. To WITHDRAW a bid: You can't. If the last bidder quits or rents, then the minbid becomes the last bid made. To ACCEPT a bid: Type accept. This immediately stops the auction and awards the item to the last bid. When successful, the money is taken and you recieve a claim ticket. No more arranging meets, no more people grabbing items and renting. Just remember, as soon as you bid, the money is deducted. If you don't get the item or the auction is canceled, it's returned. Also, if you lose link, the bidding continues. It's possible for you to win or sell an item while being linkless. Claim tickets can be reclaimed at the Lucky Despot hotel in Mos Eisley. Warning: if you attempt to auction ANYTHING while cloaked/invisible you will get a nasty surprise. Attempt at your own peril.
