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

i don't understand this plugin whatsoever :( SimpleAlias is easier to understand but lacks the features of this plugin...

Players were saying they were getting kicked from the server when trying to use /home. Like you said this is a loop causing NoCheat+ to kick players for command spam. Here's the alias, I haven't had a problem until this update:

ohome: 0: /homes 1: /homes !1:home 2: /homes !1:!2

It sounds like you've setup an infinite loop somehow, what alias is causing this?

You may have to restart your server/log to find it.

Getting these errors spammed in v1.4: http://pastebin.com/jpwUUe1E

I have no idea where it starts or stops, so I just pasted a big chunk of it.

I've added support for case sensitive aliases in v1.4 (not approved yet by Bukkit; btw neither is v1.3):

Case sensitivity

(makeOp vs makeop, MakeoP, etc.)

makeOp: permission: your.node caseSensitive: true 1: - console /me Opping !1 - wait 60 /me JK, JK.

One other thing that will improve your plugin a lot is a toggle the will make it so the aliases don't need the exact commands in terms of Upper case and lower case letters.

Example:
At the moment an alias in the config as "Promote Lv2" can't be typed as /promote lv2 in game, it has to be /Promote Lv2

This plugin would be perfect if you added this :)

Wouldn't it be so much easier to have the ability to have a space in the name? Even more possibilities unfold.

Also Could you add a toggle in the config so that we don't have to make multiple aliases for the same alias because of the caps.
Example:
/alias can be typed /alias AND /Alias
instead of it having to be the exact case letters?

You can :)

Exemple, if you want this command : /want steak

In config:

want: 1: /text!1 textsteak: 0: /give !name steak

In fact, when the player type "/want steak", it will execute the command "/want" with the argument "steak", and then the player will execute the command "/textsteak" !

this plugin has endless possibilities ! ;D

Is it possible to make an alias like this, where a multiword command is an alias?

command somethingelsehere: 0: option here

You can't but it would be cool if he implemented this feature.
It would only make the plugin better.

I love this plugin! It's really helpful since it lets me shorten/restructure commands in a way that I can remeber them (e.g. /day does /time set 0 and /time <time> does /time set <time>).

@DanielBlakey

Did you configure it properly? It should look something like this:

h: 0: /home 1: /home !1

All my aliases work at the moment, but that doesn't mean it would work for you. If you haven't already, check the CraftBukkit and plugin version.
