Forums Scripts & Popups Handling ACTIONs in DCC CHAT

How do I do it?
The specific problem I'm having is with a script that was written for mIRC 6.16. It requires '/me attacks' commands in DCC CHAT. This is the event that is used:

However, I'm running the script on version 7.29. And it doesn't work. I did some investigation, and I found that this was being returned in $1- in the CHAT event:

Whereas in version 6.16 I got this:

Which means the script isn't forwards compatible, and there's no reliable way to differentiate between normal messages and actions in DCC sessions. Unless I'm missing something...?

while i do not have a copy of 6.16, to verify what you are saying, that release is VERY OLD!, we are now on version 7.29 (as you know) and the last supported version is 6.35. You should not complain about a version that has not been supported for that long. Its like saying that ALL DOS commands should work in Windows 8. And you know that is not true.

He isn't complaining about the older version. He's complainig about the current version. Without ACTION being present in $1- there is no longer a way to detect it. Functionality has been removed.
