[ADDON] CommandSwitch (Old ".gps 5 forward" style + more)

[MindScape 66]

ConvenientCommands - CommandSwitch

---

Intro

A quick and simple addon that allows you to type your GPS commands in the old fashion way of ".gps distance direction" (i.e. '.gps 5 for') instead of the new format of ".gps direction distance". All it does is switch it around when you send the command. This also applies to '.go move' and '.go copy' commands, as well as brings back the fabled ".go look" command as a variant for ".look object", like in the good old days.

 

---

Features

• Enables the following commands to work in reverse formatting (#distance $direction):
  • !gps, !go move, !go copy
• Brings back the ".go look" command as variant to ".look object", just like it was in pre-Legion Enteleai and other servers.
• Simple Setup: No commands, toggles, or whatever. Just install it and go.
• You can still use the new syntax also, it doesn't replace it - so BOTH ways work.
  • ".gps 5 forward" and ".gps forward 5" will both work with the addon installed.

 

---

Download

 

The Addon is now downloaded automatically from the launcher. Nothing for you to do, it's included by default!

 

 

---

Installation

Download the addon above, open it with 7Zip (Recommended) or any other archive program that supports the format. Drag the "CommandSwitch" folder to your Epsilon/_retail_/Interface/Addons/ folder.
Launch the game, and login. In bottom left of Character Select, click "Addons" and then ensure !CommandSwitch is enabled.

Personally I think it'd be best to have both be usable as they both come in handy depending on the situation.

When spawning tiles,
.gps <value> <direction> is better as tiles have a set value and you need to often change the direction

When spawning other stuff,
.gps <direction> <value> is better as most of the time you use random values for this and simply use the player orientation for the direction, e.g environments, clutter, etc


Other than that, is gud

Both are usable. This doesn't stop you from doing it the other way. So you can do ".gps 5 for" or ".gps for 5" with the addon and it will work.

@MindScape Aha, gotcha. Da's gud.

Is there anyway you could maybe please do !phase play to !phase music, I would be forever grateful. I have GHI and was able to transfer data from another server and it has like all the wow music saved to it with the wrong command  If its more complicated to do that then remake or edit the items never mind ahaha.

You can edit the files to change the command easily. Just use Notepad++ and then replace all "phase play" to "phase music" and good to go
