with numeric 330 (used on ircu for identified nicks) mirc timestamps and colors it, which is inconsistant with the way whois numerics are usually displayed.

you mean the "nick :is a registered and identified nick" numeric?

That is either a script you are running or the IRCd sending coloured information, the latter is something I doubt very much so look for the former.

I've never seen default colour in a whois ever.

I don't have any scripts which modify display of raw 330, and it happens even with remote off. Heres the raw:

Code:
<- :demon1.uk.quakenet.org 311 Ashkrynt F feds feds.quakenet.org * :feds.quakenet.org
<- :demon1.uk.quakenet.org 312 Ashkrynt F *.quakenet.org :QuakeNet IRC Server
<- :demon1.uk.quakenet.org 313 Ashkrynt F :is an IRC Operator
<- :demon1.uk.quakenet.org 330 Ashkrynt F Feds :is authed as
<- :demon1.uk.quakenet.org 318 Ashkrynt F :End of /WHOIS list.


and here's what it displays like

Code:
F is feds@feds.quakenet.org * feds.quakenet.org
F using *.quakenet.org QuakeNet IRC Server
F is an IRC Operator
-
[12:01:07] F is authed as Feds
-
F End of /WHOIS list.


so, it looks like an mIRC issue to me

There may be another implimentation for that responce other than just on a whois. I wounder if any other event can trigger a 330 responce.

I don't recall exactly, but yes thats what the issue is. I've heard people on Undernet complaining about it.

mirc does what you say but it's most probably a feature. mirc thinks it's better to display the 'identified' nick more distinctively, separated by lineseps and coloured with info colour.

Well Undernet seems to disagree with you seeing as how they made a script to prevent mIRC from doing that.

I doubt Undernet disagrees with me, as I only said that mirc probably does this intentionally. Whether Undernet or its users like it is a different story.

Undernet doesn't say "we don't like it" Undernet says "it's a bug in mIRC"

Quote from undernet.org:
The Numeric used is "330". The message appears backwards due to a quirk in the IRC protocol. A script has been written to fix the output of the new numeric until it is implemented in mIRC. For now it can be pasted into your remote file. This will work for /whois or /whois

raw 330:*: { echo $color(whois)
$iif($gettok($readini(mirc.ini,options,n2),26,44),-a,-s) $2 $4- $3 | halt }

I assume that the quote you pasted is quite old; at least before v 6.03. That's because the 'bug' this thread is about is exactly the feature that Undernet waited for mirc to implement.

Here's the raw 330 from /debug:
Code:
<- :Amsterdam.NL.EU.undernet.org 312 qwerty- qwerty- Amsterdam.NL.EU.undernet.org :EuroNet/Wanadoo IRC Server
<- :Amsterdam.NL.EU.undernet.org 330 qwerty- qwerty- kilk :is logged in as
<- :Amsterdam.NL.EU.undernet.org 317 qwerty- qwerty- 37 1056244488 :seconds idle, signon time


Here's what mirc shows:
Code:
qwerty- using Amsterdam.NL.EU.undernet.org EuroNet/Wanadoo IRC Server
[color:blue]-
[04:15:30] qwerty- is logged in as kilk
-[/color]
qwerty- has been idle 7mins 19secs, signed on Sun Jun 22 04:14:48

The linesep'ed, timestamped message in blue (colour info) is what the original poster considers a bug. It's more than obvious that it is made on purpose though: mirc took the ":is logged in as" and put it in front of the username ("kilk" in this case), constructing a phrase that makes sense.

This is happening because numeric 330 is being used in different ways on different networks. The next version of mIRC should handle this correctly.

Glad to hear that, I thought the blue line among the black ones (from /whois) was just an expression of bad taste :tongue:

Wow--Khaled released a feature that is to be in the next version? Hmm... A fear the Apocalypse >:\

Actually, Bug Fix. Khaled would never announce a feature that he's going to add, but this is clearly a 'fix'.
(it may not have been 'broken', but he fixed it just the same.)


Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
