G'Day Thanks to all who helped on my previous request This is unconnected (almost) so a new thread
Aliases, Diskworld Shorthand, are a time and typeing saver I did do a search to find a pre-defined list but came up with ziltch Prehaps I just did not find one, prehaps there are not any
I was lucky enough to be given this one which I have aliased as.... LOOT = get $arg1:coins & every jewellery$ from corpse $arg2:1$
Care to add your favorites?

I can't remember who I got these from, but I use these mainly for specials in combat.
alias s1 slash $*$ with weapon 1 alais s2 slash $*$ with weapon 2 alias st1 stab $*$ with weapon 1 alias st2 stab $*$ with weapon 2 alias c1 crush $*$ with weapon 1 alias c2 crush $*$ with weapon 2 alias r1 riposte $*$ with weapon 1 alias r2 riposte $*$ with weapon 2
You get the idea. You can also replace weapon 1 and weapon 2 with the specific names of the weapons you're holding, especially if you've got them deluded, then you know exactly which one you'll use.

Another thing I know a few younger players use to avoid having to pay taxi or use carriages are speedwalks. Basically you journey from lets say, AM to OC. You fill every command you put in into your alias. Then you end up with an alias like
alias journeyAMoc journey se;journey s;journey s;journey se; journey se; journey se ..... journey se; say ARRIVED IN OC.
You should be going fast enough not to be bothered by brigands and the like(probably).

Some of the most useful aliases I have are sel? and dep? . sel is for sell and dep for deposit. So I have a number of aliases such as; deplanc: Deposit lancre pennies, every lancre farthing, every lancre ha'penny, every lancre etc... you get the picture. Then i just walk in to the bank or money exchange and type deplanc and all stray coinage is deposited. But, the most important alias is settalk. this sets up the talker how I like it, something like; settalk: talker delete one; talker apex; talker colour theAgateanEmpireCouncil bold cyan... etc - It's the longest alias I have.

Longest, most useless alias I have:
ghoul: get skin from corpse;eat skin;get heart from corpse 1;eat heart;get eyes from corpse;eat eyes;get scalp from corpse;eat scalp;get brain from corpse;eat brain;get ears from corpse;eat ears;get arms from corpse;eat arms;get legs from corpse;eat legs;get legs from corpse;eat legs;get nose from corpse;eat nose;get tongue from corpse;eat tongue;get skull from corpse;drop skull;get head from corpse;eat head;get liver from corpse;eat liver;get lungs from corpse;eat lungs;get kidneys from corpse;eat kidneys;get spleen from corpse;eat spleen;get torso from corpse;eat torso;bury corpse $*$
Don't think it works any more, since the body parts have changed since I created it. Great conversation starter, though ;D

Teller, if you "deposit all" while in a Lancre Bank, you will only deposit your lancre coins. Same for an Agatean bank, Morporkian bank and Djelian bank. So lets say you have 10 dollars and 10 tooni and 10 crowns. You are in BoP and type "deposit all", you will only deposit AM money.

Unfortunately, 'deposit all' fails to work sometimes, or at least it did. Also, if you omit the word lancre sell/deposit also fails sometimes with you don't have any pennies. Even then, if one of the early coins is not in your inventory it fails 1 time in 50 anyway and you have to delete it from the input line to get it to work. Bugs, what can I say.
In the same way, for reasons I'm not going into, I use an alias that has 'drop1 penny;get 1 penny' and that also fails with can't find penny or words to that effect. and I have to use both get 1 penny and get coins to work in every situation because get coins also fails in some situations.

When I use there I just get "What?" or "Try somthing else" I'm using a dagger and a rapier Sugestions? Deluded I've done a google and searches on various pages to find out what this means to no avail Where would I find what it is and how it can help me? The Mud it's self responds with "Could not find any help on 'deluded'"

When you type 'commands' do any of those show up in the list? If not, you need to learn them when you have enough skill. You can learn them from another player if your guild trainer doesn't teach them. There is a pretty good list of commands here: geocities.com/dwthievesguild/tgcommands.htmDeluding is done by a witch to change an object's name and turn it into a talisman so it can be bonded. witches.gwendoline.at/spells/dg.html

I'm having a problem and it might be a setting in the client I'm using rather than the MUD I had a few alises going like the "dostick" which went like this... drop stick bury stick cast cips hold stick
Now the alias stops on the first line
Others I wrote also no longer continue past the first line Like "doeyes" take eyes from corpse zap left eye with stick zap right eye with stick put cured eyes in satchel
"doheart" Take heart from corpse zap heart with stick put cured heart in satchel
What has changed that these no longer work?

Possibly there is an extra $*$ at the end of the first line that tells the alias to stop?

Thanks for your reply This is an alias I am trying to use I create the alias thusly.... alias dostick drop stick;bury stick;cast cips;hold stick This is the result dostick You drop the small stick. > What am I doing wrong? The wierd thing is that this is a pre-existing alias that has stopped working not an untested new one
