Forums Bug Reports Address Book - ver. 6.21

When using colors for the nick list by using the address book, if you have a HOp (%) as one color and a voice (+) as another color, and you voice the HOp, the HOp then becomes the voice color. I am using the latest version 6.21 Shouldn't the HOp stay the HOp color instead of changing to the voice color in the nick list?

maybe, mybe not... if you're looking at it from the perspective of abilities, then the hop level already includes voice level access (unless the script has been written to only allow voices for a particular set of commands), then the colour (color for the Americans) should stay the same.

However, if you look at it from the perspective of the order that the levels were set, the hop level was set first, then the voice level, so the voice colour matches the most recent level that was set.

how do you have it listed? If the voice is listed above the HOP, then voice color will take precedence. If the HOP is above the voice, then the hop should take precendence. As one who's used the Addy book a ton, I can tell you this is a prime issue people have had over the years; not kowing that it's truely "first come first serve" as for the modes.

I have no scripts loaded for the coloring, its just standard by IRC. In order down the list it goes ~, &, @, %, +, regulars. I guess it does what RusselB said, it goes by the most recent that was set.

To show you what it is that I'm talking about, I have two snapshots

- the one above shows ModGod as a hop, without voice

- this is what happens when you voice ModGod while he is already a hop.

This is just mIRC's plain address book, no scripts. In ver 6.2 I did not have this happen, it has just recentl;y occured in 6.21 but I had a friend tell me he reproduced the error in 6.16. If this is in fact an error.

weird, well, his theory sounds good. As I said, Im not doubting you did it right, simply saying many people have not ordered it they way they wanted to and havfe gottenw eird results. Hopefully, if this is a bug, Khaled can nail it down; he's good like that

Maybe you should change your order in the Colors Section at the Adressbook like this

The coloring depends on the order of the items in the Nick Color list. If you have them listed in order then it should work correctly. If you think they are ordered correctly and it still happens, can you tell me which IRC server you're testing it on? Thanks.

can you screenshot your address book's colors section so we can see it? It could help

Ok it was the order i had them in the address book. thanks guys
