Aliases are essentially shortcuts that you can type into the command This is different from the button-bar. The button bar is visual (buttons), and aliases are text-binding. Each alias can have up to 4 commands (3 semicolons)

some helpful commands:

1. alias

2. alias <shortcut> <command>

3. unalias <shortcut>

For example, typing in (alias fs cast firespray) will cast firespray whenever you type in fs.

example 1: (alias fs cast fireball; cast fireball; cast blizzard; cast blizzard) will cast all 4 spells successfully (almost at same time, no lag).

example 2: (alias #atmospheres cast bravery; cast resist fire; cast resist petri; cast resist cold) <- you don't need to type in full names.

Useful aliases:

There are 3-4 side buttons you can alias: #social (2nd from top left button), #atmospheres (3rd from top left button), #spells (2nd from bottom right button), and race (hand button) (race is only for races like humans and dwarves that don't have racial abilities. Haflings, giants, pixies, nagas, can't alias race)

example 1: alias #social shrink; cast minor healing; cast minor healing; grow (this is useful for giants to heal efficiently

example 2: alias #atmospheres autocast speed; autocast resist fire; autocast see invisible; autocast glimpse

You can also alias shortcuts for speaking.

example 1: alias au auction (if you type in au wtb xyz, you will have shouted [auction] wtb xyz

example 2: alias rp reply (instead of typing reply (message) you can just type in rp (message).

example 3: alias wtb auction want to buy (when you type in wtb spell, you will have shouted [auction] want to buy spell)

You cannot chain aliases.

If you have

1. alias x action 1; action 2; action 3; action 4

2. alias y action 5; action 6; action 7

3. alias z x y : z won't run x and y.
