Forums mIRC Help Ignoring specific user join/quit messages?

Is it possible? I've been idling in #IdleRPG on Freenode and a certain user keeps joining and then instantly quitting with the reason "Excess Flood".

I don't want to fully disable join/quit messages, I just want to ignore this users.

I've tried turning Ignore on, and adding the user's nick!host to the ignore list...didn't work.

Anyone know how to do this?

You could use a small script and user levels.
Note that it may not work if you use other scripts that fiddle with the display of events, for example a "theme script".

1) Open the "mIRCs Scripts Editor" (Alt-R), Create a new scriptfile (menu File:New), paste the following lines of code into the file, and save the file as: "IdleRPGignore.mrc"

2) Now switch to the tab "Users" in the mIRC Scripts Editor and add definitions in the format:
As you see in the examples you can put either a usermask or the plain nickname. Add as many definitions as you like.

Perfect. So do I save the Users tab as it's own file? And how do I run this script?

The "Remote" script will run instantly and as long as it's loaded (listed in "View" menu). You don't have to save the "Users" definitions in a separate file - just add them and confirm with the "OK" button.

Eh, doesn't seem to work. I still get zz_SophieB's join/quit messages. They aren't really flooding the chat, but he/she joins and gets instantly quit'd quite alot.

I guess an anti-flood script wasnt what I was looking for, maybe some sort of way to completely ignore Sophie's join/quits whenever they occur.

EDIT: I'm gonna continue testing it to see if it works, but so far it doesn't seem to be working.

EDIT 2: It doesnt work.

Works for me - the script prevents the display of the default (mIRC vanilla) join/quit messages of any user matching a "=noflood:" user level definition.
Please paste
- the result for the command "/remote"
- a join/quit message
- the lines you did add at the "Users" tab.

*Remote is on (ctcp, events, raw)

=noflood:zz_SophieB!SophieB@li183-18.members.linode.com
=noflood:zz_SophieB

zz_SophieB (~SophieB@li183-18.members.linode.com) has joined #idlerpg

zz_SophieB (~SophieB@li183-18.members.linode.com) Quit (Excess Flood)

The first one misses a ~ char in the address:
=noflood:zz_SophieB!~SophieB@li183-18.members.linode.com
I'm not sure why the second one isn't working tho...

That ~ appears in everyone's host thing. I just assumed the script didn't need it.

I just edited the script, included the "~", and clicked Ok.

Within seconds, Sophie rejoined and I saw both messages. Something isn't working right.

I don't see why this isn't work for you, sorry. Maybe I'm too tired atm to find a most simple error... hopefully someone else will find it soon.

remove the = from the user group

so it's

noflood:zz_SophieB!SophieB@li183-18.members.linode.com
noflood:zz_SophieB

and not

=noflood:zz_SophieB!SophieB@li183-18.members.linode.com
=noflood:zz_SophieB

Personally, I'd use a * instead of the ~ . That way, even if they get ident working (which removes the ~) it will still work. Also, try halt instead of haltdef ( type /help halting default text in any mIRC window)

step 1:
Sense It's only one address, and a very specific one at that you are trying to ignore, use the following:


2) in mIRC, hold the [alt] key and press [r]
3) Click "file", then click "new"
4) Paste the code in the empty text box
5) click "file"
6) click "order"
7) Move that scrip to the very top of the list

Sense the script is the first to trigger, and it halts the events, it should stop all other events of triggering for it as well....I think
