If guest is in nick - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hi.

How would you go about changing nick from Guest to normal nick automaticly?

(untested)

Code:

; check your nickname on connect and as it changes
on me:*:nick: { noguestnick $newnick }
on *:connect: { noguestnick $me }

alias -l noguestnick {
; nickname starts with "Guest", no auto-nickchange-marker set for this connection
  if ((Guest* iswm $1) && (!$hget(noguestnick,$cid))) {

  ; change nick to main nickname (if not matching Guest*), else to alternative nickname (if not matching Guest*), else to FALLBACKNICKNAME
    nick $iif((Guest* !iswm $mnick),$v2,$iif((Guest* !iswm $anick),$v2, FALLBACKNICKNAME ))

    ; set auto-nickchange-marker for this connection for 90s - to prevent a "nickspam loop" (circular quarrelling with services or the like)
    if ($event != connect) { hadd -mu90 noguestnick $cid x }
  }
}

Thanks for the quick reply, so FALLBACKNICKNAME would be the part I change to my normal nick in the script?

The script tries to use your normal nicknames in the first place, that is your "main nickname" and "alternate nickname", as set in the mIRC options dialogue or with mIRC commands.
I added FALLBACKNICKNAME just for the (unlikely) case both normal nicknames match "Guest*" (for whatever reason), so you can put a hardcoded nickname there.

I see, thanks for explaining, I will test it later, thanks again.
