Ghalerion Essay Script help - mIRC Discussion Forums

mIRC Homepage

Hi, people.

I'm frustrated with my fruitless attempt in getting Ghalerion 4.0's cutscript to work in mIRC 7.xx.

The issue is that I'd like for the code to also work in mIRC 6.xx and 7.xx, but my success in this endeavour has been hopeless. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've asked a few others and have been unable to get an answer in what is wrong and why it does not work in mIRC 7.xx.

I'd be quite grateful if you guys could help fix this. I would also like to thank you for your time in looking this over.

I'll include the following code for your review:

Code:

;x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x

That script is quite overly complexicated.

Are you aware that mIRC v7+ can split long messages automatically?

Anyway, you can try this if you like. Replace the dialog:essay:sclick code with...

Code:

on *:DIALOG:essay:sclick:*:{
  if ($did == 5) { essay.custom }
  elseif ($did == 3) {
    if ($window($active).type !isin query channel) { echo -aec info * Essay: cannot use $+("/,%m.send,") in this window. | return }
    var %len = 424 - $len($me)
    var %msg, %i = 1, %t = 0
    while ($did(essay,2,%i)) {
      var %ln = $v1,%mlen = $len(%msg) + $len($v1)
      if (%mlen > %len) {
        .timer 1 %t %m.send $active $iif(%t,--) $regsubex($QuoteEncode(%msg),/([$]+)/g,\t!) ...
        var %msg, %t = %t + 1
      }
      %msg = %msg %ln
      inc %i
    }
    .timer 1 %t %m.send $active $iif(%t,--) $regsubex($QuoteEncode(%msg),/([$]+)/g,\t!) $iif(%t > 1,<end>)
  }
}

  }
}

I'm aware.

Yeah, I wasn't the one that originally designed this script. This was back when v6.21 was the latest version.

I don't use the cut script in mIRC v7.x seeing as it already includes a method to split messages automatically. But... you know, legacy users. >_>

Edit: Wait a minute, do you mean from line 29 to line 56? Or...?

Edit2: The customize button seems to be still borked... though this is how I've got it done, now:

Code:

;x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x

Whoops! I'll fix shortly and post back the results!

And it works beautifully. Thanks! I'll check back again tomorrow and compare the differences and get a better understanding of what worked and what didn't.

Thank you so much for finally helping to resolve one of the long-standing bugs in this script.

Sure. If there's code you don't understand, just ask

BTW: Here's a better essay.custom alias. This 'attaches' it to the main dialog, plus the -l switch means it can only be called from the script itself.

Code:

alias -l essay.custom { noop $dialog(essay.custom,essay.custom,-4) }

The main "essay" alias can also be re-written (this only shortens the code, no real improvement here) as...

Code:

alias essay { dialog $iif($dialog(essay),-v,-md) essay essay }

I would remove the "/me" from dialog table, it serves no real purpose and in fact my code doesn't even remove it. :p

Code:

  edit "", 2, 10 50 420 320, vsbar, multi, return

Seeing as you don't do anything on the essay dialog init you don't need that event code either.

Works beautifully.

Thanks again. Now that I'm more wide awake, I can now definitely see the differences and I'm facepalming for not recognizing the differences and fixing it myself.

I'm blaming it on being way too familiar with the code and not having a second eye look at it and go, "Hey... dude? Try this and see if it works?"
