July 3rd Update

We fixed many small errors throughout the site. I added links under discussions to Professions and Races, so that everyone knows there are forums there for you to use to discuss them. We also now have a full Command List for the game. I think it is pretty complete, but if we are missing any, please let me know.

Alias Commands

You can create your own custom commands in aliases.txt in your Star Wars Galaxies Directory.

When you create an alias it then becomes a / command.

For example, aliases.txt might contain:
ht /follow; /assist; /healdamage. Now when ever I have another player targeted and type /ht I follow them, assist them, and heal them.

This is also useful for cutting down the amount of typing in a macro, such as a sampling macro. For example, "sr /stand; /sample; /pause 500; /sit; /pause 250" is in aliases.txt(without the quotes). Then the macro would look like: /sr; /pause 750; /sr; /pause 750..... You have to do the /pause after calling /sr or else the game thinks you are using recursive calls. The pause is set to 750 because that is how long it takes /sr to run.

After setting up a command(s) in aliases.txt you have to type /load in the command line so SWG will recognize the new command. You type /alias to have SWG list your current aliases. And type /unalias <<alias name>> to remove an alias you have created from the game.

I believe there is a way to create an alias directly from the command line, without having to edit aliases.txt. But I am not sure. Maybe someone else knows.
