Thread: Tuesday Tips June 28th Using the /alias command
Someone in my guild made a great alias macro that we just had to /load and run and it added all of the guild members to our friends list, complete with comments and groups.
Keep in mind aliases can be called from within macros too.
And a great use is
/alias /chew /tell Chewbacca
Then rather than typing /t Chewbacca, you can just type /chew then what you wanted to say to Chewbacca without having to spell his full name, and the /t.
/chew Hi there wookie

Did they ever remove the obscene amount of spam generated from executing an alias?
If not, it's just not worth it really.
Executing alias --> blah blah -> alias blah blah.
Executing alias --> blah blah -> yada yada.
Yuck.

FYI, you can remove an alias with the /unalias command. "/unalias jentara" would remove it without having to exit and edit your aliases.txt file.
In addition, you can create your own alias file and load it up with the "/load" command. When used by itself, it reloads the alias.txt file, but you can also "/load myalias.txt" or any other file in the proper format. So for example, make a decoration.txt file that you alias in when you're going to be doing a lot of decorating or to share with a friend ![]()
