[TECFAMOO] Nicknames

 

Nicknames allow you to give nicknames to objects. Unlike aliases, nicknames are only valid for you and you can add nicknames to objects that you don't own. Nicknames should be also be matched before regular names and aliases.  

The following commands are obsolete at TECFAMOO and are going to be deleted: @rooms, @addroom, and @rmroom; if you had a db of rooms, it has been converted to nicknames.

Basic commands needed:

@nickname*s <object> - displays the nicknames assignes to an object
@nickname            - displays the usage
@nickname everything - list all the nicknames you assigned

@addnickname*s <nickname> [, <nickname>, ..., <nickname>] to <object> 
@rmnickname*s  <nickname> [, <nickname>, ..., <nickname>] from <object>

Example:

@nickname
Usage:  @nicknames <object>  
        => list the nicknames you assigned to <object>.
        @nicknames everything  
        => list all the nicknames you assigned and the associated objects.
>@nickname me
You have not assigned any nicknames to MooBoy [offline] (#1324) <~MooBoy>
>@nickname everything
Foyer (#258) has the nickname Foyer.
>@addnickname stag to #3522
Now The Old Stag (#3522) has the nickname stag.
>@nicknames everything
Foyer (#258) has the nickname Foyer.
The Old Stag (#3522) has the nickname stag.
>@go stag
The Old Stag
 [.....]
>@nickname here
The Old Stag (#3522) has the nickname stag.
