Forums mIRC Help How can I show my own address when joining a chan?

Hi,

I'd like to see my own address when joining a channel. I don't want to show it in a public message but only for myself e.g. like the topic. I'd like it to look like this:

-amarok (x!y@z) is now talking in #xyz
-Topic: xyz

I don't know whether there is an option in mIRC to do this, if not, maybe there are some scripts available? I know, I could also /whois myself but I want to see this information directly when joining a channel. Can anyone help me?

Thanks, amarok.

You can use the ON JOIN event, see /help ON JOIN.

on me:*:join:#:{
echo -ac info2 * $me ( $+ $address($me,5) $+ ) has joined #
}

Regards,

Thanks, this works! The only problem is that it looks kinda ugly because it does only show a * instead of my timestamp. Is there any way to replace the * with my timecode? I know this must look really simple to you, but I've never done any scripting in my life

Well, forget it. I found out myself how to do this, it's really simple. But thanks anyways for the great help!

in case someone else wants to know: using the -t switch will show your default timestamp before the echo
