So far, this is what I’ve managed. I’ve formatted my own messages as well as those from others. Code on ^:TEXT::#: { haltdef echo -t $chan 94 $time(HH:nn:ss) 64 $nick : 15 $1- } on :INPUT:#: { if (/ !iswm $1) { haltdef echo -t $chan 14 $time(HH:nn:ss) 65 $me : 15 $1- } } Where I’m running into a problem is with nickname colors. For example, the nickname SkullGold appears in red in the user list, but not in the messages. I’d like OPs to appear in red, half-ops in green, voiced users in white, and everyone else in orange.

Try using this script code:

Code

on ^*:TEXT:*:#: haltdef | echo $chan $msgtime $msgnick($nick,$chan) :15 $1-
on *:INPUT:#: if (/* !iswm $1) { haltdef | echo $chan $msgtime $msgnick($me,$chan) :15 $1- }

alias -l msgtime { return $+(94,$time(HH:nn:ss)) }
alias -l msgnick {
  if ($1 isop $2) { return $+(04,$1) }
  elseif ($1 ishop $2) { return $+(09,$1) }
  elseif ($1 isvoice $2) { return $+(00,$1) }
  else { return $+(07,$1) }
}

Try using this script code with changes and fixes: Code on ^:TEXT::#: haltdef \| msgtext $chan $nick $1- on :INPUT:#: if (/ !iswm $1) { haltdef \| .msg $chan $1- \| msgtext $chan $me $1- } alias -l msgtext { echo $1 $msgtime $msgnick($2,$1) :15 $3- } alias -l msgtime { return $+(94,$time(HH:nn:ss)) } alias -l msgnick { if ($1 isop $2) { return $+(04,$1) } elseif ($1 ishop $2) { return $+(09,$1) } elseif ($1 isvoice $2) { return $+(00,$1) } else { return $+(07,$1) } } 🌐 https://forum.epicnet.ru 📜 irc.epicnet.ru 6667 #Code \| mIRC scripts, help, discuss, examples
