Hello,

I am looking for some way to actively and programmatically alter names listed in the nick list window on the right side of a channel. Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about, in case my wording is confusing:


Example: I want to change "@Ege" to instead display "@Egekalaycan". How do I accomplish this through mIRC Scripting in a way that let's me change it at any time?

Thanks for any and all assistance!

You would need a DLL to change the nick list other than just adding colors. There is no way in mIRC itself to alter nick names in the nick list.

Really? Well, drat. Thank you for the information.

If you opened a socket to the server and had a local socket for mIRC you could make the nicks say whatever you like by sending an edited names reply to the local socket.

Oh hey, that's a neat idea, but I wonder if it's a bit much for my purposes; what I'm working on is a "display name" script that allows you to change someone's name as you perceive it. Everything's been going great, but this has been my one major hurdle: the nick list itself.

It isn't a huge problem, really, but it may seem odd to users of the script if those names don't visibly change when you alter someone's display name. I don't personally mind, but someone else might.

You can use dcx or other nicklist dll's to create your own nicklist that is docked on top of mIRC's.

Oh my, I didn't know there were some that already existed. Thanks a lot for that tip, I'll do some research into that.

You could also do this with picwins if you really wanted to. Though, I'd suggest using a dll instead. No rel reason to reinvent the wheel.
