sounds good.. I sent ya a message with my custom IRC file.. you will see it in there.. They are in the gmsg and the privgroup functions.. isnt all that hard.. but with out it if the msg is longer then what IRC will natively accept.. it cuts it off and makes a very bad list of every command used in the script to the max characters allowed by IRC and ends it .. it don't look pretty .. so the only way I could think of doing it was to just stop the really long ones from even being transmitted.

I can give ya access to our org bot if you would like for testing and what not.. if that would help out..also another thing I was thinking is having a verible for IRC color.. and IRC name that is transmitting..

link in the following in    function irc_recieve(&$irc, &$data)

if ($this -> chat <= 1)
$this -> bot -> send_gc($this -> guildprefix . " <font color=#808000>" . $data -> nick . "</font>: " . $msg);
if ($this -> chat >= 1)
$this -> bot -> send_pgroup($this -> guildprefix . " <font color=#808000>" . $data -> nick . "</font>: " . $msg);

have a IRC name in one color varible and the msg in another color varible all done read from the database and changeable without restarting the bot.

Added your wishes to SVN version.

awesome so far so good..one problem is ..

with formating off
<a href="itemref://218744/218745/198">Spiri-Aid Spindle</a>
that is what is shown in org chat.. it isnt making a link..

with formating on..
Spiri-Aid Spindle (http://aomainframe.net/showitem.asp?LowID=218744&HiID=218745&QL=198)

so it is working.. kind of.. just not allowing the bot to have it as a link..

in the irc_recieve I had to change the the following two lines to get it to work correctly..
$msg = str_replace("<", "<", $data -> message);
$msg = str_replace(">", ">", $msg);

and in the gmsg and privgroup I had to

$msg = str_replace(">", ">", $msg);
$msg = str_replace("<", "<", $msg);

and also the
StripFormatting:  Off  is actually on.. and the on is actually off..

on does the anuo and aomainframe and off does the item links

and yes I understand the str_replace but I left it in there for illustration.

and good job on the colors.. that was exactly what I wanted.. very nice..

oh one other thing.. if "online" is anywhere in the msg then the IRC file will spit out from every org who is online.. spaming all connected org channels..

What did I do...

But good point, before I go and make some self-defined formatting we should better try to adapt the format you posted there, as it allows quite a bit more versality on all ends.

Since there's some development going on on the IRC plugin I feel obligated to hint at http://bebot.link/index.php/topic,707.0.html

yea this topic has kind of lead from one thing to another.. way of life I suppose..   I totally forgot about that one where I posted what I had.. but so far alreadythere has for the most part already put in almost everything.. just need to work out the little things now. other then that it looks good

oh one other thing.. if "online" is anywhere in the msg then the IRC file will spit out from every org who is online.. spaming all connected org channels..
No clue what's causing that... didn't modify anything past the formatting.

yea it has always did that since we went to IRC.. but now with the !online being able to show more then 1 org.. its kind of redundant.. well I suppose not really.. but it will spit out by bot who is online if online is anywhere in the message

on all 4 bots I am having to run with LogonNotify_GUILD.php as _LogonNotify_GUILD.php  since it is still spamming when people log on, sometimes it only sends the !online 2 times but most of the time it is sending it 20+ times. 

Spamming still occuring with latest SVN.

Something is very weird, and i cant seem to find any obvious place it's broken either.

Seems totally random, poor guildie was just spammed with about 20 Online and 20 News tells.

This should now be fixed in latest SVN.

Nice.. does this mean I can turn it back on now..  almost scared to even umm ya.. try it
