Forums Scripts & Popups Popup Problem - /say isn't working in mIRC v6.03!

For some strange reason, I have just found that popups in my nickname list menu that start with /say do not function. The ones beginning with /me are fine... I've tried typing /say with a line of text following into the dialogue box in a channel or query/chat window, but it doesn't work there either... anyone have any idea as to why this might be? Perhaps I need to replace this version with an older one? Appreciate any/all input... thanks! ;-) ~ Rivka.

You didn't need to post this on 2 forums.

Please paste your popups file so we can take a look.

Sorry, just getting used to how this works on here, and wasn't sure which forum was most appropriate...
An example of the popup would be as follows...

.Made a Typo:/say I qm hafving sompe tytpinbg dificlutie.s1

This will not function at all in my copy of mIRC... now, if "/me" or "/action" is inserted in place of "/say",
it will work, but sometimes you want a popup treated as regular dialogue, NOT a highlighted action...
...any idea what might be causing this? Thanks... :-)

Hmm seems to work for me. You could try:

.Made a Typo:/msg $active I qm hafving sompe tytpinbg dificlutie.s1

Thanks for your response, but that suggestion doesn't work either... I'm beginning to think I just need to go back to a previous version of mIRC, when /say used to work... ?!

It's nothing to do with the mIRC version, since the popup works for everyone else, so I'd guess it's something in your scripts causing the problem. Try moving the popup to the top of the file and see if it works then.

Type this command from any editbox in any window:

[color:840017]//echo -ati2 * Is /say an alias? $iif($isalias(say),Yes - in the file $isalias(say).fname,No - that is not the problem.)[/color]

I rather suspect that you will find you have an alias gone awry, such as in the following examples.

• [code]
  
  ; PROBLEM: Alias name got deleted in a remote alias definition
  alias say Hi $1- $+ ! Welcome to $chan $+ !!
  ; FIX: alias [color:red]greet say Hi $1- $+ ! Welcome to $chan $+ !![/color]
  
  ; PROBLEM: Alias name got deleted in a normal alias definition
  say Hi $1- $+ ! Welcome to $chan $+ !!
  ; FIX: [color:red]greet say Hi $1- $+ ! Welcome to $chan $+ !![/color]
  
  ; PROBLEM: A new script you have loaded includes a badly written custom /say alias
  alias say .msg $active $1-
  ; FIX: Ask the author of that script to fix it[/color]

If your problem doesn't fit one of these fairly easily fixed solutions and that command I gave you at the top returns Yes, go into the filename it tells you and simply rename the alias say alias to something else - such as say.broke - and then try your popups again.

If all of that fails, then go into your popups and edit them such that they do not need to use say at all, as was suggested earlier, changing say to msg $active:

• Greet $1: msg $active Hi there $1 - I've missed you terribly.

Hello, Hammer!

Thank you SO much for your reply... that script was just the ticket! :-)

When I pasted the script into an editbox, and hit "Enter", I saw this reponse:

* Is /say an alias? Yes - in the file C:\Program Files\mIRC\aliases.ini

I then opened up my aliases, and replaced every incidence of "/say" with "/me",
then I repasted that script in the editbox and hit "Enter" a second time, and saw this:

* Is /say an alias? No - that is not the problem.

And now, I'm very happy to report, "/say" finally works again!!
Thank you so much for your input - you've been a great help!!!! :-)
