Nick listbox colors - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hi,

It's been a while since I last scripted so I need some help.

Basically, what I want to do is list the nicknames of the people who are /away in another color, say color 15 (light grey in the default scheme)

Since there is no on away event I'd use a timer to check the away status of every nick in the activated channel (other channels are invisible the way I use mIRC so it would be a waste of resources to check them too), and if a nick is away change it's color to 15, else, change nothing. What would that look like in code? :p

Thanks in advance!

something with "/who $active %nf" where an "h" in the result means the nick is 'here' meaning not away could help

Here's a wild guess

Code:

alias awaycheck { 
  set %ckchan $active
  who %ckchan
}

raw 352:*%ckchan*: {
  if ( H !isincs $7 ) { set %awnicks $+(%awnicks,$chr(32),$6) }
}

raw 315:*%ckchan*: { graynick }

alias graynick {
  set -u0 %x $nick(%ckchan,0)
  while %x {
    if ( $istok (%awnicks,$nick(%ckchan,%x),32) ) {
      cline -m 15 %ckchan %x
    }
    else cline -r %ckchan %x
    dec %x
  }
unset %ckchan %awnicks
}

untested

Thanks!

As far as I know (but I know little) that should work, but the users who are /away aren't greyed out

I had already tried this, but it doesn't work either

Code:

alias awaycolor {
  who $$1 %nf,369
}
raw 354:& 369 & &:{
  if ( h !isin $2 && H !isin $2 ) { cnick $1 15 }
  else { cline -r $cnick($1) }
}

Found the problem. Raw doesn't like the variable.
Change them to just:

Code:

raw 352:*: {

and

Code:

raw 315:*: {

If you're really only going to use this on one channel, can probably do away with the %ckchan variable
altogether, but it worked for me once I took it out of the raws.

cool indeed

another question, the nick is grey in the window too if the /away says something. Is it possible to make it show up in grey only in the nick listbox?

The colors in the nicklist are always going to match the colors in the channel unless you're using a DLL for the nick list (such as nicklust), which *may* allow you to specify different colors than what mIRC's really using.
