Forums Feature Suggestions MIRC Nick Control

Looking for a nick control switch, so for example, Rob will be used on one server and robl27 will be forced on another.

without having to do /nick..

Also, a lag indicator would be nice to. Klient has it but not MIRC. (in the status window)

Thanks,
-Rob

There are plenty of lag bar codes in the snippets section.

"lagbar"'s are outdated concepts from the 90s where latency was an issue and even 3 second delays were somewhat common. I don't think, even on dialup, this is an issue anymore due to much better network connectivity. As mentioned, for the few people who do need it, there are snippets available. The fact is, the vast majority of people probably don't need to know.

/server irc.server.com -i MYNICKNAME will connect with a specific nick.

can i do the name thing in the scripts so i don't have to change my nick every time?

ok, about the lag. I thought the clock on the status window was a lag indicator.

I don't think there's anything you can do manually that you can't do with a properly written script (sometimes it doesn't even have to be all that properly written.. lol).

The clock in the status screen, I believe, shows the elapsed time since that connection was made active.

as mentioned, any command can be used in a script, thats what scripts are.

but, what do you mean by "every time"? mirc should remember your nickname for existing connections. if you want to connect to a bunch of servers on start with different nicks just use an ON START script:

ON *:START:server server1.com -i nick1 | server server2.com -i nick2

You can have -j in there to autojoin channels too, see /help /server

I can personally guarentee that is not the case. I have a script that basically hides information in the message, that has to be picked up by the script as you can't visually see numbers after a color code, especially if I do a color code, number, then color code, when trying to hide that kind of information. Same with double bold codes with nothing between them, remotes can spot them, but if that's typed into the chat window, you aren't going to know it's there, and as a result, not be able to respond accordingly. But that's probably something that won't come up often. Most scripts will be able to be done manually.
