overview over all channels? - mIRC Discussion Forums

Is there a way to see what happens in more than one channel in one window in mirc?

Technically, yes. You could write (or get written) a script that makes a custom window (/window) then captures the events (ACTION, NOTICE, TEXT) in the various channels, then puts the information into the custom window.

Personally, I think this could end up being very confusing, especially if you're on busy channels.

Some clients have it and i find it very helpful, but there is so many other things i luv about mirc so if I could get both of them I would be a happy man. Writing a script by my self agghh... it could be done, but it would be nice if there was something out there so I did not have to do anything by my self, you know lazyness...

There is the Scripting and Pop-Ups forum, though, technically, it's supposed to be a forum for helping with a script you have at least tried to write.

There's also a Snippet Request forum on Hawkee where you can request the snippet and have it done for you completely. Sometimes those requests take a few days, or longer, depending on the complexity of the request and the availability of a helper's time.

Code:

alias -l messagestyle { 
  if ($1 == text) { return $+(<,$chr(3),$cnick($nick).colour,$iif($chan && $left($nick($chan,$nick).pnick,1) isin $prefix,$v1),$nick,$chr(3),$colour(normal text),>) }
  elseif ($1 == action) { return * $nick }
  elseif ($1 == notice) { return $+(-,$chr(3),$cnick($nick).colour,$iif($chan && $left($nick($chan,$nick).pnick,1) isin $prefix,$v1),$nick,$chr(3),$colour(notice text),-) }
}
alias singlechannel { window $iif($window(@singlechannel),-a) @singlechannel }

on *:text:*:#:{
  if ($window(@singlechannel)) { echo -bcfilmrt "normal text" @singlechannel $chan -> $messagestyle($event) $1- }
}
on *:action:*:#:{
  if ($window(@singlechannel)) { echo -bcfilmrt "action text" @singlechannel $chan -> $messagestyle($event) $1- }
}
on *:notice:*:#:{
  if ($window(@singlechannel)) { echo -bcfilmrt "notice text" @singlechannel $chan -> $messagestyle($event) $1- }
}

Just type /singlechannel

Very,very nice, thanks!! It was something like this i was hoping for

And also a thanks to the rest of you guys.

hixxy:
This scrpit is so butiful, and well written it's almost make me cry. I don't know what more to say about this masterpiece of of scripting!

Haha no problem!

Could beautify it some more:

Code:

on *:text:*:#: sc
on *:action:*:#: sc
on *:notice:*:#: sc
alias -l sc {
  if ($window(@singlechannel)) { 
   echo -bcfilmrt $event @singlechannel $chan -> $messagestyle($event) $1- 
  }
}

Thanks Tomao, but what would this do? I try to put it in the script but can't see any difference and don't have the ability to decipher what it means

One thing that would be nice, if, when I write in a channel window that it would come up in /singlechannel to. I really don't remember if it did that in the start when I first ran it?
But is a great lurker script, I can run when I am doing something else and still know what happen on my favourite channels

Code:

on *:input:#:{
  if (!$inpaste) && ((!$istok(/ $readini($mircini,text,commandchar),$left($1,1),32)) || ($ctrlenter)) {
    if ($window(@singlechannel)) { echo -bcfilmrt "own text" @singlechannel $+(<,$chr(3),$cnick($me).colour,$iif($left($nick($chan,$me).pnick,1) isin $prefix,$v1),$me,$chr(3),$colour(own text),>) $1- }
  }
}

There's nothing to decipher really. What I did was basically consolidate hixxy's script and make it lighter with less bytes is all. I actually forgot to include the $1- in each event. :p I see hixxy has added the input event as per your request, and this is yet another consolidation:

Code:

on *:input:#: sc $1-
on *:text:*:#: sc $1-
on *:action:*:#: sc $1-
on *:notice:*:#: sc $1-
alias -l sc {
  if ($window(@singlechannel)) { 
    if ($istok(text action notice,$event,32)) {
      echo -bcfilmrt $event @singlechannel $chan -> $messagestyle($event) $1- 
      halt
    }
    if (!$inpaste) && ((!$istok(/ $readini($mircini,text,commandchar),$left($1,1),32)) || ($ctrlenter)) {
    echo -bcfilmrt own @singlechannel $chan -> $+(<,$chr(3),$cnick($me).colour,$iif($left($nick($chan,$me).pnick,1) isin $prefix,$v1),$me,$chr(3),$colour(own),>) $1- }
  }
}
alias -l messagestyle { 
  if ($1 == action) { return * $nick }
  elseif ($1 == text) { 
    return $+(<,$chr(3),$cnick($nick).colour,$iif($chan && $left($nick($chan,$nick).pnick,1) isin $prefix,$v1),$nick,$chr(3),$colour(normal),>) 
  }
  elseif ($1 == notice) { 
    return $+(-,$chr(3),$cnick($nick).colour,$iif($chan && $left($nick($chan,$nick).pnick,1) isin $prefix,$v1),$nick,$chr(3),$colour(notice),-) 
  }
}
alias singlechannel { window $iif($window(@singlechannel),-a) @singlechannel }
