How do you change the color of a certain word that other people type? I tried the Control+k one and it didn't work.
That doesn't change the certain word color though.
You would have to script it. Either use $replace() or use $regsubex() in an on TEXT event and have the event halt the normal display and show your version. Or, if you don't need the specific word highlighted and it's okay to highlight the entire line, then just use the highlight feature.
I really should have my coffee first. This will show the channel text event exactly as mirc would, except for the highlighted word. Where you see xx4 and xx1, type ctrl-k4 and ctrl-k1
ON ^*:TEXT:*:#: {
echo $chan $chr(91) $+ $left($time,5) $+ $chr(93) < $+ $nick $+ > $replace($1-,word,xx4wordxx1)
halt
}
How do you highlight? The help doesn't say how to use it.
Press Alt+B in mIRC and the Address Book will appear. You'll see the Highlight tab, click on that.
First ensure the Enable HIghlight checkbox is checked, then click Add.
Add a word, select where to watch for it... Message (or nickname/both).
Choose a color (and sound file if you like).
Check the Flash and Tip boxes as you like.
Then OK and OK
