Because I can't find it in the helpfiles: Is there any way to switch the order of clans in your score? I use clt5 to talk on one particular clan habitually, and now I lost clan 3 in my list (I had the full 10 and needed a new one) clt5 is going to keep mistelling to one of my other ones. If there's a quick way around this, please put me out of any potential misery I might run into!

use aliases to remap clt5 to be clt (whatever it is now).

In Achaea, I made a habit of making lettered aliases for every clan and matching them with clt#'s so I very very rarely mistold. It sucked to change them all when I lost a clan but...It works.

Yeah, I had this problem too..

I had an ooc clan for clt5 and now clt5 is the Aqua channel..
yup.. imagine the looks I got when I mischanned something really bad about Marcalo.

I can't actually do that. The way JAVA reads these is by ONLY using an alias if it's the first word in a pattern. And then ignoring the rest. So if I aliased "tmc" to "clt6" and then did "tmc this stupid clan thing isn't working", only the "tmc" would go through to the game.

I THINK this works the same in Nexus.

I take it that means there's no in-game solution then? :/

That's...really inconvinient. I'm sorry for all those who use java then. I use this feature of zmud constantly.

I don't know of any in game way, other than quitting a number of clans and then rejoining them so the critical ones line up on the proper numbers.
Shiri2005-08-11 07:11:37
Yeah, I'd use it given half a chance too.

And ah well, thanks anyway. Guess I'll make do with mischans for a (long) while. sleep.gif

Nejii, how about instead of aliasing "tmc" to "clt5", you alias it to "clan tmc tell"? That's how I do it, works like a blast.

Ah yes, that wouldn't work. This does though: alias "tmc" to "clan tmc tell $0" biggrin.gif $0 references "everything you typed in after the alias name" (or, for the coder geeks, all parameters passed. like %-1 in zmud)
