Dialect Switches

Code read in a dialect (an attribute flagged mux or rhost, or any code on a game whose dialect option names one) may give a command a switch SharpMUSH has under another name, or a switch that asks for what the command does here anyway. A switch the command has keeps SharpMUSH’s meaning. A shortened switch is read as that server reads it, as the first of its own switches for the command, under the name the code gives it, that the start fits, and then means what that switch means here: @switch/f is @switch/first, and RhostMUSH’s @edit/r is its /raw, which SharpMUSH lacks, never /regexp. Any other switch is refused as usual. Some of these servers’ switches are SharpMUSH’s own too, such as @sweep/commands, @stats/me, @wall/pose and @trigger/notify. See compatibility config.

TinyMUX switches

These run as the SharpMUSH switch named:

@chown/nostrip, @chownall/nostrip and @clone/nostrip: /preserve
@decompile/dbref: /db
@cemit/noheader: /silent
@malias/delete: /destroy; @malias/status: /stats
@boot/quiet: /silent
@wall/no_prefix: /emit
@motd/brief: /list, which shows the messages without the text files
@quota/total: /set

These change nothing: @stats/player, @dolist/break (an @break ends the list around it here too), @switch/default (every match runs, as with TinyMUX’s default configuration), @notify/first, @teleport/loud, examine/full, @clone/location, @clone/inherit (a clone keeps every flag), @open/location, pose/default, @ps/brief, @listmotd/brief, @quota/fix (a quota is always counted from what the player owns), @hook/clear (@hook/<type> <command> with no object clears a hook, one type at a time) and @oemit/list (@oemit takes a list; each object’s room hears the message, where TinyMUX uses only the first object’s room).

RhostMUSH switches

These run as the SharpMUSH switch named:

@dolist/break: /nobreak
@edit/single: /first
@function/minimum and /maximum: /min and /max
@boot/quiet: /silent
@wall/no_prefix: /emit

These change nothing: @stats/player; @pemit/nosub and /oneeval; @set/noisy and /tree; @decompile/all and /tree; @notify/first; @function/display and /notrace; @edit/strict; @cpattr/verify and /verbose; /ansi on @clone, @create, @dig, @open, @pcreate and @name; /strict on @create, @dig, @open and @pcreate; @clone/location and @open/location; @set/strict (a leading _ in a value is only text); @include/command (@include always leaves out an attribute’s $ or ^ pattern); @search/nogarbage; examine/full, /tree and /display; pose/default.
