Forums Scripts & Popups Haltdef and other scripting questions

Hello all,
Sorry to bother but i came around a few questions.
I am trying to ignore all "welcome back" script that are just annoying, since they highlight windows without a reason, clutter visual space and more.

So i thought i'd do something like:
on *:TEXT:*WB*:#: { haltdef }
but this doesnt seem to stop the welcome back to appear in the window. It does catch the event but doesnt stop it from appearing. Is there anyway to do that?

Another question would be, how does one "protect" * as a letter, that is i want to match .*\*WB.* in regexp form.


Finally if anyone sees a way not so hard to have highlight on some channels but not other, i'd be willing to hear about it, because while i want most chan to get highlighted on talk, i'd like some to stay silent in my windows bar.

Thanks for any hints,

DeathWolf

1 use on ^*:text:*WB*:#: { haltdef }
2 use $chr(42) for *
3 click the left icon in the channels title bar and go to flashing and make your selections.

Thanks, that seems to work.


That seems to do it too, great!


That actually didnt work.
What i mean is not the highlighting that flashes, but the color change on activity(that is, it goes from black to read on activity by default if i'm not wrong)

So that one still goes on even with the flashing forced to off.
I'm guessing only something that would intercept all messages in the chan and repaste them as echo might work for that... although a bit weird. If anyone knows a better way/has already done that, i'd like to know.

Thanks,

oh i see what you mean, the options/display colours...

I dont know of a way using options, that allows you to make that channel specific.

You could of course script the echo technique i suppose.

/help /haltdef will explain the ^ prefix better
