Forums Scripts & Popups Simple question

We all know what "bbl", "brb" etc. stand for.

But I'd still like it to actually say Be back later. And Be right back.

I know you can do an alias /brb /say Be right back.

But how can I avod having to use the "/" key - thus, only typing "brb"?

Very long time ago, I had some custom mIRC version, that had that. I just
typed lol, and it said "Laughing out loud" in the channel.

I guess it's easy, if you know how.

There are 2 ways you can do this, both using on INPUT.

on ^*:INPUT:*:{
if ($left($1,1) != /) {
msg $active $replace($1-,lol,Laughing Out Loud,brb,Be Right Back,wb,Welcome Back)
haltdef
}
}

you can add to that code, after Welcome Back you can put ,rofl,Rolling On The Floor Laughing)

or, you can use this:

on ^*:INPUT:*:{
if ($left($1,1) != /) {
if ($1 == lol) { msg $active Laughing Out Loud $2- | halt }
if ($1 == brb) { msg $active Be Right Back $2- | halt }
if ($1 == wb) { msg $active Welcome Back $2- | halt }
haltdef
}
}
you can also add to this, by inserting another line under the wb line.

Hope this helps.

on 1:INPUT:*:{
if ($left($1,1) != /) {
if ($1 == lol) { msg $active Laughing Out Loud $2- | halt }
if ($1 == brb) { msg $active Be Right Back $2- | halt }
if ($1 == wb) { msg $active Welcome Back $2- | halt }
haltdef
}
msg $active $1-
}

note the bold section, this is required to keep your mirc passing on all the text, not only teh lines starting with lol or brb or wb.

why not do if (lol isin $1-)
What would be a better script imo

lolipop



Save that to a .mrc file, and before you load it, set the acronyms you want in the red potion. Add a new line per acronym you'd like.

by the way, if you want to learn about hash tables, or want to know more about this script, I wrote a tutorial on hash tables, that uses this script as a demo on mirc.net ( http://www.mirc.net/projects.php?go=1064732500&get_desc=1 ).

I saw the tut awhile back MrPeepers, its a good one

^^ is faster

But not accurate. You do have the ability to specify your own command prefix, thus the check in the ini.

Holy cr*p!
I guess it wasn't that easy after all.
I would have never come up with that.

Gonna try some of your scripts.

Thanks, all.

It's actually really simplistic as far as a hash table script goes. Its also commented, taking up a lot of room. >:D

Again, the tutorial will show you how it works, if you're willing to do a lil 15 minute reading. Hope it works out ok. It's also very efficient if you have several thousand acronyms >:D

k, I'm back after some testing.
Thank you all for contributing.

The one from j0k3r stopped me from saying anything else, than those brb, brt, lol etc. - hehe.

The one from sirono did work. But whenever I /topic, /notice, /nick etc, it spammed the channel with /notice nick text - before it actually did the notice. Hard to keep anything private.

Then I tried KingTomato's hash thingie.
That wouldn't save to any file .ini or .mrc. Dunno why. The file was empty, and I couldn't even locate the actual file with my windows explorer. When I tried to paste it directy into scrpt.ini, it toally messed up the text - half of it was missing, when I openned the editor again.
I did not do the tutorial (yet). Might do that later today.

Meanwhile, I have found that old, old mIRC, that had that brb, lol stuff. I could not succesfully copy it to my currect mIRC.
Here is what it looks like:
----------------------------

on 1:INPUT:*: {
if ( %wb == on ) && ( $parms == wb ) { msg $active 6W3elcome 6B3ack | halt }
elseif ( %np == on ) && ( $parms == np ) { msg $active 6N3o 6P3roblem | halt }
elseif ( %brb == on ) && ( $parms == brb ) { msg $active 6B3e 6R3ight 6B3ack | halt }
elseif ( %bbl == on ) && ( $parms == bbl ) { msg $active 6B3e 6B3ack 6L3ater | halt }
elseif ( %lol == on ) && ( $parms == lol ) { msg $active 6L3aughs 6O3ut 6L3oud | halt }
elseif ( %bbs == on ) && ( $parms == bbs ) { msg $active 6B3e 6B3ack 6S3oon | halt }
elseif ( %gtg == on ) && ( $parms == gtg ) { msg $active 6G3ot 6T3o 6G3o | halt }
elseif ( %hehe == on ) && ( $parms == hehe ) { msg $active 6£4aughs 6Ø4ut 6£4oud | halt }
elseif ( %heh == on ) && ( $parms == heh ) { msg $active 10£14aughs 10Ø14ut 10£14oud | halt }
else { goto end }
:end
}

-----------------

I had no idea this was going to be so difficult.

Anyway, thanks for all your help so far, guys. Merry X-mas.

Incase you want the previous, here it is:

acronym.mrc

Thanks, KingTomato.

The file works.... but only your predefined acronyms will work.
When I add/replace others, nothing happens.

just type /hadd <acronym> <meaning> in either the mirc command prompt, or in an alias. It should work instantly

* /hadd: no such table 'brb'

Sorry for being a n00b here. I'm pretty new to this advanced stuff.

sorry, brian fart.. heh

/hadd acronym <acronym> <meaning>

EDIT:
Ex:
/hadd acronym rofl Rolling On Floor Laughing
