I just saw that HQ 0.4.0 alpha come out Feb 4. One set of changes include the command format. Looks like they are going for the grouping format such as item, spawn.
I would hope that the project here follow a similar format. Not only does it make the commands easier to group, but a prompting system could act as completion (like the IDEs do for programming languages).
For example no matter how many times I use the commands i can never remember if its:
searchitem - itemsearch
summonitem - itemsummon
Using the "item" format, it would always be:
item search
item summon
and item ? would give a list [search, summon, etc...]
same with spawn
spawn hp
spawn heading
spawn blah-blah
but a create spawn would have to be something like this:
spawn new ....
although the spawn and item examples I gave don't say which.
So if I want to change hps on spawn-1 and spawn-2, how do I reference them?
Probably as spawn <spawn-1-id> hp 20
I am too tired to actually dl the 0.4.0
