Hi all
I wish mIRC has a new event, wich i will refer to it as PRETEXT.
Actually (as far as i know) TEXT are modiffied by only one script, who print (echo) it, halting default event processing.
I think this restricts add-ons capabilities.
Example:
<John> hey, peter, i'm finally using mirc! I love it!
Supose Peter loves mIRC, so codes an script to replace "mirc" with the full colored mIRC 'logo'
But he's also a little narcicist, so adds a little modification to replace "peter" with a nice Peter with a red "P", black "eter" and yellow background (his favorite colors).
I think you get the idea. Any little-little-little feature, requires (some) new line(s) to be added in the 'on TEXT' event.
And what about to give his modiffications to his friends? Completly difficult.

What about something like this?:
on 1:PRETEXT:*mirc*:*:return $replace($1-,mirc,mIRC) <<< well, full technicolor
on 1:PRETEXT:*peter*:*:return $replace ...

This way simplifies scripts and make they 'shareables' as add-ons.

What do you think about?
