client:commands

All of the different commands for the client

A more descriptive list can be found for player commands: here and dm commands: here. This list is definitive as of September 2004, but not yet fully organized. It taken from the source code and formatted. It still needs to be sorted and categorized.

Movement
- Actions
  - fire - Repeatedly use currently selected range item (usually a skill or spell) in given direction.(Note: direction can either be specified as a number after the command, or by using one of the direction commands after using the fire command.)
  - fire_stop - Stop repeating the fire command.
  - run - Repeatedly move in given direction. (Note: direction can either be specified as a number after the command, or by using one of the direction commands after using the run command.)
  - run_stop - Stop repeated movement of the run command.
- Directions
  - stay - Stay in place.
  - north - Move North (up).
  - east - Move East (right).
  - south - Move South (down).
  - west - Move West (left).
  - northeast - Move Northeast (up and right).
  - southeast - Move Southeast (down and right).
  - southwest - Move Southwest (down and left).
  - northwest - Move Northwest (up and left).
Client side commands
- Actions
  - prevkey - Provides the last input command into prompt.
  - take - similar to get command. (Note: How is it different? Also, test and describe it.)
  - ; - Not really a command. Used to seperate commands in a single input line.
- Display information
  - clearinfo - Clear the text window or windows.
  - help - Display help, optionally takes a command name as an argument. (Note: How is this different from the server side command?)
  - inv - Display list of items in inventory. (Note: This should produce similar output to the inventory command, but is processed client side. The server side command is better in almost all instances.)
  - resist - Display list of resistances. (Note: This should produce similar output to the resistances command, but is processed client side. The server side command is better in almost all instances.)
  - magicmap - Display last magic map in seperate window.
  - metaserver - Display the metaserver list. This works even while connected to a server.
- Client configuration
  - bind - Binds the command (or commands seperated by ;) supplied in the argument to the next key pressed.
  - unbind - Display a list of keybindings. Also, given an argument number, unbinds that binding number.

  - savewinpos - Save window position information to disk. Includes all windows in split mode, and sizes of the various window panes.
  - show
  - showicon
  - showweight
  - disconnect - Disconnect from the server. (Note: This command is a bit buggy, as it disconnects from the server, but doesn't update the client mode, so you have to use Disconnect in the Client menu before you can do anything else.)
- Scripting
  - script - Start executing a given script.
  - scripts - Display list of running scripts, and their script numbers.
  - scriptkill - Stop a given script from executing. Takes the script number as an argument.
  - scripttell - Communicate information to a given script. Takes the script number as the first argument. The rest is passed on to the script.

This list is intended to be accurate, so please don't recategorize anything unless you're absolutely sure. That means don't move a command from “Not yet categorized” to where you think it should be, but aren't sure.

EditMe : Give a brief description of each command, and finish categorizing commands. Annoyingly, this requires testing each command to make sure we're accurate.
