Talk:Slash Commands

The start...

This article will probably be a long-term effort to get complete and formatted. I've created the stub so that it will be a start... -- TonyV 14:00, 27 Jan 2006 (CST)

Undocumented Command

I added in a command (/RequestExitMission) that doesn't appear on the /CmdList and there are 2 or 3 more that I can remember that also do not appear there. I'll have to dig them up.

There used to be an emote called PaladinAwaken, which has since been removed. Also the /Tell_Last command (added in I5) is not in the /CmdList. That takes care of the undocumented commands that I knew of. --StarGeek 15:02, 6 Feb 2006 (CST)

A note about synonyms and parameters

I don't have time to do it now, but be sure when you add an entry, you separate all synonyms, one entry per line. For example, supergroup and sg are the same command, but I'd like to have an entry for each, even though the rest of the line will be exactly the same. The reason why is because if someone's looking up supergroup and it's buried under sg, it will make it extremely difficult to find. They might do a Ctrl-F and type supergroup, but then it would match every single entry that had anything to do with supergroups.

Also, be sure you include all command line parameters. I noticed that the reply, tell_last, and tl commands right now don't have any parameters listed, even though they all presumably take at least a message to be sent. Next time I have a few minutes to dig in, I'll add them in, but going forward, please do include all parameters. That's what, in theory, will make this list so much better than the in-game /cmdline data. This article will (hopefully) eventually be a killer good resource to find this information since, as far as I know, all documentation like it elsewhere really sucks bad.

The trouble with the TellLast command is that the help text on it is broken and I keep forgetting to try and figure it out. The error is simply

Incorrect Format: try tellLastString (Command Synonyms: tellLastSynonyms)

A little more work...

It's becoming painfully obvious to me that these high-level sections need to be split up into separate articles. For example, an article on communication slash commands, and article on supergroup slash commands, etc. This article should probably just be the complete alphabetical listing plus links to the other articles.

Alternatively, we could make just a series of articles, one per slash command, with this article as a link to all the others. I think the parentheses would be a good use for these article types. For example, we could have an article called Lfgset (Slash Command).

I would like to continue working on this, though, as there is still no good reference out there for these commands. What do you all think?
