Enhancement Request: "Alias to Channelname" #143

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I would like to request the ability to do the following (I've written a mod
that does this, but it's not compatible with Prat, and my friends started
using Prat, so I started using it too and now my mod doesn't work, and I
thought this made more sense in Prat than as a personal work-around-mod :)):

I want to be able to set an alias ("/whatever" ex: "/c") to talk on a
specific channel.  By NAME.  I want "/c" to talk to whatever number was
assigned to the channel when I did "/join myclanchannel" -- I do not care
one little bit what that number is.  For all I care, it doesn't even have a
number.  (my mod hid the number from me too :)).  I just want it
consistent.  If it's a different number on one account than another, that's
fine.  I don't care about channel ordering.  That seems confusing to begin
with, since it does this weird slow channel quitting and joining thing... 
I just want "/c" to automatically figure out the # of the channel, and
alias itself to it on the fly.

It's a pretty straightforward idea, especially if you already have your
stuff able to alias things and control channels.  And I really like it.

Possible extensions to this:
A "Faux Guild" Prat-Module.
The config screen lets you set up faux guilds. 
Guilds get a name, a command alias, and a "channelname" (and maybe a
channel password?), a channel color... -- Then Prat always makes sure they
are in that channel (on all alts too!), that /commandalias talks on that
channel, that the channel shows up in the right color, and that when people
talk on it, it says [Guild Name] instead of "[# channelname]" 

That's actually what my mod did... :)
