Hello
I`m looking for a script, an option or a light client who has the following feature :
The text colours in a channel must be different for every user, automaticly (similar to text colours for OP,Voice or normal) but for every user.
Example : i`ll see the 1`st user text in blue, 2 - red, 3 black, 4 blue etc. Regardless if they are OP/voice.
Thanks,
|

While this could be done, you would probably end up with colours or colour combinations that are difficult to impossible to read.
Also, if you were in a channel with a lot of chatters, you would run out of colours/colour combinations without repeating.

I know how this will like.
6-10 colours are enough.
In a big channel this option will have nasty effect, reading will be difficult,
but the script will be used by newbies in IRC, on a small channel. The IRC talk style may be confusign for some.

Colouring the chat isn't going to make it any less confusing, if anything, I think it would make it more confusing, as they may get used to seeing the colours for certain people, then they'll probably end up going to other channels and/or networks, and, suddenly the colours are going to be with different nicks. Here's a quick code that will generate a different colour for each person based on the order of the nick in the nicklist. NOTE: There is nothing to prevent hard to read colours from being used, including, but not limited to, the same colour that the user has set for a background colour. on ^*:text:*:#:{
.echo $nick($chan,$nick) -t $chan $+(<,$nick,>) $1-
haltdef
}

Thanks Russel, i managed to upgrade the code from you It got stuck with user number > 15 (it get white color) but i fixed that and remove the bad readeable colours (on a white background). on ^*:text:*:%color = $round( $calc($nick($chan,$nick) % 15),0)
%color = $calc(%color + 1 )
if ($color == 0 || %color == 8 || %color == 9 || %color == 11 || %color==12 || %color==15) { %color = 1 }
.echo %color -t $chan $+([,$asctime(hh:nn),]<,$nick,>) $1-
haltdef
}
Now why the Time isn`t added when I write something ?

The -t switch already does the job in displaying the timestampt.

A small re-write of your alteration of my code. on ^*:text:*:#:{
var %color = $calc($int($calc($nick($chan,$nick) % 15)) + 1 )
%color = $iif($istok(0 8 9 11 12 15,%color,32),1,%color)
.echo %color -t $chan $+([,$asctime(hh:nn),]<,$nick,>) $1-
haltdef
}With this alteration, you could have the color go to the next 'readable' color, rather than having it fall back to 1 each time. on ^*:text:*:#:{
var %color = $int($calc($nick($chan,$nick) % 15))
while $istok(0 8 9 11 12 15,%color,32) { inc %color }
.echo %color -t $chan $+([,$asctime(hh:nn),]<,$nick,>) $1-
haltdef
}As noted, the -t switch already gives you the timestamp if you have timestamping active, so the usage of $asctime(hh:nn) is a duplication, but still isn't part of the message.
