BetterAlias

Table of Contents

Tired of entering tedious and repetitive commands? Wish you could group commands into one short and easy to use command?

With BetterAlias you can specify any number of aliases for your commands!

Features

Create aliases for long repetitive commands:

/permissions player setgroup <playerName> VIP

becomes

/vip <playerName>

Combine multiple commands into one simple command
Compatible with your existing permissions/plugin commands!
Supports partial player name lookups (ie "e0n" to find "Ne0nx3r0")

Installation

Add BetterAlias.jar to your plugins directory
Once loaded an aliases.yml file will be created
Customize the file and use /bareload to enable the changes.
Use the examples inside aliases.yml to setup aliases for everyone to use! (or add a custom permission node for the command)

Usage

See the examples page.

Spanish video tutorial

Multiple Commands

Separate multiple commands with dashes (-):

tpthenkick: 
    1: 
      - /tp !1p !name
      - /kick !1p

The examples file that comes with the plugin includes examples of every type

I don't know if this has already been asked, but how would I alias /warp so it works with every warp? This is what I've tried:

w: 0: /warp !1

But it only shows the warp list, it doesn't actually warp to the place (it does nothing then)

Just a suggestion, if you're open to them. Could you see about adding a function to run commands as a specified player in an alias?

Also, one to broadcasts a message to the entire server, instead of having to run a message with /say through the console.

I'll take a look at fixing this (patched version will be 1.5.2), in the meantime you can remove the space before !* to patch your aliases file until a release is approved.

Generally this is accomplished as:

skick: caseSensitive: false permission: skick 0: reply "this command needs X,Y args" 1: reply "this command needs X,Y args" 2: "/kick !1 !2"

Using !* creates a redundant space that cause some aliases not to work properly. Please fix!

modreq: 0: /ticket open "*": /ticket open !*

issued server command: /modreq example text issued server command: /ticket open example text

Here's a pic of the example I gave you with v1.5.

Unfortunately since you aren't providing any logs or YML files to inspect I can only tell you what I said before:

1. Look in your server log when the plugin loads for errors

2. Validate your aliases.yml

I said there's better support for it; you should be able to do what you were doing before and have it work fine.

Here's an example.

You said in the update notes that there was a better way of doing "/goto place", how do I use it?

~~I suppose that's a use case I hadn't thought of; try version 1.5 and see if that fixes your issue.~~

~~I need to fix a bug first, but I'll see what I can do.~~

Got it working.

It says it's valid, how come "/goto towny" doesn't work but "/goto factions" does?

Check your aliases against the examples page and try validating your YML file: http://www.yamllint.com/

This plugin hardly ever needs updates because it does one thing fairly well.

Sometime the aliases just straight out don't work, any ideas?

There's no NMS code and the events haven't really changed... It works just the same on 1.8 builds.

Hey, I used this plugin over a year ago. It was handy then. I played around with the commands.yml for my most recent project, but it lacks flexibility. Could you recompile this against Spigot 1.8.1 and/or release source?

ETA: Oh, source code. Thanks.
