Silkstring

A Dalamud plugin for FFXIV that lets you define custom command aliases that expand into one or more chat commands, executed in sequence.

Features

• Define custom command aliases via an in-game GUI
• Each alias can execute multiple commands in order
• Configurable delay between commands
• Enable/disable aliases without deleting them
• Protected system commands cannot be overwritten

Installation

1. Open XIVLauncher settings
2. Navigate to Dalamud → Custom Plugin Repositories
3. Add the following URL:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devoreofox/Silkstring/main/repo.json

4. Open /xlplugins in-game and search for Silkstring

Usage

Type /silkstring in-game to open the alias manager.

Managing Aliases

• Add Alias - creates a new alias entry
• Edit - opens the edit window to add or modify commands for that alias
• Delete - hold Shift + Ctrl and click Delete to remove an alias
• Enabled toggle - enable or disable an alias without deleting it

Editing an Alias

The edit window lets you define the commands that run when the alias is typed. Each command is a separate entry. Commands run in order from top to bottom with a configurable delay between them.

• Click + (Add Command) to add a new command
• Hold Shift + Ctrl and click Delete to remove a command
• Click Save to apply changes
• Click Cancel to discard changes

Settings

Click Settings in the main window or use the cog icon in /xlplugins to open the settings panel. You can configure the delay between commands in milliseconds (0 - 1000ms, default 100ms).

Example

Create an alias named hello with the following commands:

say Hello!
say How are you?
emote waves

Typing /hello in chat will execute all three commands in sequence.

Notes

• Commands can be entered with or without a leading /
• The following commands cannot be used as alias names: silkstring, xlplugins, xlsettings, xldclose, xldev
• Aliases do not work inside macros by design
