Total N00b Question...

[Unscene]

Okay, I hate posting this ( I feel hella stupid ) and I'm sure there's been a million posts in regards to this. I'm having a lot of difficulty finding an updated list of all the BNET commands for LOD. Is there any resource that I'm over looking? I tried searching Blizzard but I've found nothing. Also, trying to access all the command options inside BNET is a pain. Can anyone post a link to where I can get all this information and print it out so I don't have to constantly ask "How do I..." and "What do I have to type to..."

Thanx.

*/stats (username) Shows the stats of a STARCRAFT player. It will however always show 0-0-0 for Diablo players or if you are using Diablo yourself. This command works even if the user is not currently on Battle.net. It is thus a good way to see if a certain account name is in use or not.

Okay, now as far *** adding friends... when you want to add someone's whole acct to your list, do you type

/f add name or /f add *name

I'm totally confused here.

You know, I mess around with my /f list every other day, but I honestly don't remember the answer to this. I don't think you need to add * when adding a whole account to your list. Try it both ways; if one way is invalid, BNet will tell you.

Another marvelous command is /nopickup. With this command, items on the ground will not highlight if you hover your cursor over them, nor will you accidently pick stuff up unless you're holding alt (highlight items key). Unlike most commands though, BNet does not send you a confirmation message when you switch /nopickup on and off.

Great to help prevent you from accidently picking up 5 stacks of bolts in a public game - then seeing IK armor drop three feet away ... :D

/f a accountname
You can't add single chars to your friends list, just accounts. I know it's a bit messy that they made it so that at other times you need the asterisk and sometimes not.

no, its not messy. an * is for account messaging where you simply message any and all characters from that account that are currently present on battlenet, whereas without the * you message a single char. Seeing that * was always a joker-sign that could be substituted for everything (i.e. in ms dos del *.* ment delete all files with all extensions, while del *.com ment delete all files with .com extension),

Wow, I'm going to use that right away! Thank you! That's the best tip I've heard since the /fps to check how laggy the game is!

There must be something messy about it as people keep asking about it constantly. if * is supposed to be used when dealing with accounts then it should be used there always, not just on some occassions. Having different type of syntax for each command with same type of input is bad design.

Ms-dos is a pretty bad example as the whole system is a messy one. The whole idea of having a base assumption that dot should be handled in other way than other chars is a silly one and is already an exception to rule which is something that always makes things messy. del * should delete all files as well, regardless of whether it has dot or not.
