if ($nick == $me) { halt }

As posted by DarthRaven and xDaeMoN .. <shrugs> .. Maybe some type of character confusion..

Regardless.. nice little snippet

Script? I do not see such a thing here.

MSE picked it up, good job. However, this does not test if the AV is fully active or the definitions are up to date.

Congrats on posting your first snippet. The only thing I can say is the if ($nick==$nick) statement is really not necessary. It will always return true. If you are going to build further on this snippet, you may want to consider what happens if alot of users join at once or a server reset. You might flood out.

Unfortunately, colored buttons have to be drawn using bitmap images in DCX. You can either specify a button bitmap or just use an image control. The windows API allows you to change the background color of a button object, but DCX does not support the property of BackColor yet, as far as i know.

Looking at the documentation, I have never messed with hgradient or vgradient. I do not know how to use them.

On the note of reducing code, if using v6.35 or higher, you can use:


rather than



to trim a bit

Birthday Slap

more like

if alpha isin a b c d e f g h i j k .. returns true

if 005 isin 001 002 003 004 005 .. returns true

I use this in all my scripts.

It used to be WorldDMT.. read above

oh and nice snippet for a nicklogger..

only downside with hash saving on exit or part is if your computer or mirc crashes.. you lose all your data..

it is more resource hogging, but i save important hashes on a timer or on every update..

Is there a public website for all these faces?

I think you, alabama, should make a script to return random silly faces. It would both fit you and show how things should be done ;)

which icons are meant to represent what? For example, is 10 a normal room icon, is 22 an active channel icon, etc?

I think the game gave them names.. unless Jethro has some fetish we do not know about.. :S

makes sense.. go left.. run into wall.. turn up.. run into wall.. turn left..

maybe he was blind after all..

Oh yeah, didn't Pacman have an eye or two?

Pacman should be eating Hawkee... as far as a new idea I would say I would love to see Shake from ATHF :P

@ Jaytea, just basing it off experience of comparing ticks of a sockread /vs/ on TEXT.

A socket bot, if coded correctly, will always be a few ms faster than a mIRC script. mIRC interprets tons of information based upon irc protocols. The socket bot only handles what is defined in the code.

if the incremented variable is less than 3 then display the message.. code is functional

if I halted, then it works

Flood control can be done several ways.. basically you halt the alias if the command has been used too many times within too many seconds..

my code is basic and I am certain that others have much more effective code that handles per channel and is shorter.

Basic Example:

regex seems to be a way of life around here .. slow or not in msl (Y)

Yeah I saw that based upon your code. I was offering assistance on his coding style of the snippet. Nice shortening.

I think the first if statement should be && and not ||. If user is op AND you are op, versus If user is op OR you are op.. otherwise it still tries to work if you are not op.

There are a few other things beyond what napa and jethro are suggesting (which are very valid), but not relevant to functionality.

Ask away if you need help adding what they suggested. Keep up the work!

Honestly, when i see scripts like this, I get tempted to flood the user off the server... permitting flood settings, number of active channels, and all other things..

The only ay to improve is to learn the hard way.. well there is a lot of hard way to come..

I just noticed how the number of thoughts changes from page to page.

44,000 was just the initial number. The socket updates the rt.idx which is the $r value after the socket runs once. But you are right Jethro, I am grabbing the wrong number. I will update to set the initial $r to 40,000 and have the sockread fetch the number of thoughts and not the number of comments.
