Revamp Help command

Post by nickmcski » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:39 pm

Hye guys, I am planning on updateing the /help command and I wanted to get your input.

My idea was /help would bring up a small list of catagories that will provide help with commands as well as some of the faq questions about craftland.

For example I was thinking /help would return

Code: Select all

/help ranks    A list of all the ranks on the server
/help arena    What you need to know about craftlands bosses
etc etc....

Then when you type one of these commands it will bring up a brief description of each of these items and then provide a link to the wiki article if someone wants more detail.


What do you guys think of this kind of help system? What other categories should this include?

This sounds like a good idea. Some topics I was able to think of:

/help aether
/help greycliff
/help Mining
/help kits
/help warps
/help shopchests
/help staff
Helper 5/1/15 to 12/25/15.
Please donate rails, stonebricks, and gold ores to the hopper at /warp TheSC. We need many of those in order to build the railroad network in Greycliff.

I meant for it to say what each rank of staff does, and what color their names are.
Helper 5/1/15 to 12/25/15.

I kind of wanted to keep it more consise with basic info, not an advanced guide of everything on the server (Thats what the wiki is for) just having a basic set of categories for some basic info about the server.

We could have a /help (command name), I'm not entirely sure if it would work but we could run a command name spreadsheet on the wiki to allow players and the community to explain every command, and the /help could refer using the data on the spreadsheet.

Maybe even a Craftland GUI linked to the help command
