Forums Scripts & Popups ... Silly request about italics.

I have a friend who has a severe dislike of italics in the newer mirc. I think he's crazy.

Is it possible to write a simple script to ignore italics? Or is there an option I'm not seeing that only blocks italics.

Well there is an option to strip color and stuff but that's not you're looking for.

You'd need an on text event that removes all italics, like so.

on ^*:text:* *:#: echo $color(normal) -mt $chan $+(<,,$nick($chan,$nick).color,$iif($left($nick($chan,$nick).pnick,1) isin $prefix,$v1),$nick,>) $remove($1-, )

Have your friend try that out and tell him I think he's crazy also, lol.

You could use $strip($1-,i) instead of $remove().

Sadly I tested it myself and it did not work.

Did you test it yourself by typing it in mirc where the script was loaded? Because it doesn't work when you type it yourself.

I have two mirc clients running. (One is a dice bot, long story). I loaded it on the dice bot and typed in message and in channel to it using italics and it saw the italics.

Did you load it in a script file or the remotes section where there was already and on ^*:text: event by chance?

I tested it and it worked for me or I wouldn't have posted it.

I did. It's a dice bot, and the person that I was asking for also said it didn't work for him.
