Nicklist Probs

hi all,

im haveing a problem with a nicklist im recodeing for a friend.

the problem im haveing is this;

im trying to remove my nick from the nicklist i got this done thanks to code from ozzy in the MSN section... but my problem is, that any nick below mine when i click it selects the nick above it... i had this fixed by adding a

if ($nick($1,%l) == $me) did -a nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 0 $chr(160)

which does fix the problem, but it adds a space where my name would be lol

alias -l refresh { 
 if (!$dialog(nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ])) return 
 did -r nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1
 var %l 1
 while (%l <= $nick($1,0)) { 
   did -a nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 0 + $nickicon($nick($1,%l),$1) $nick($1,%l)
   if ($nick($1,%l) == $me) did -ra nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 8 0 + $nickicon($nick($1,%l),$1) $nick($1,%l)
   did -ra nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 4 $nick($1,0) People Talking
   inc %l
 }
}

lol any help would be great! lol

alias -l refresh { 
if (!$dialog(nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ])) return 
did -r nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1
set %l 1
while (%l <= $nick($1,0)) { 
  if ($nick($1,%l) != $me) did -a nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 0 + $nickicon($nick($1,%l),$1) $nick($1,%l)
  if ($nick($1,%l) == $me) did -ra nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 8 0 + $nickicon($nick($1,%l),$1) $nick($1,%l)
  did -ra nick. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 4 $nick($1,0) People Talking
  inc %l
}
}

thanks ozzy but as i said same problem, the nick below where mine would be is set as mine when i right click and and hit info it comes up as my nick, the nicks above mine work fine, but with my nick missing all the nicks are shifted up one

yea that's what i was saying before. You are going to run into problems around this area. You need to either store all the names in a hash table/ini file, and each time you right click on that nick, it checks for the real nick

or

i did in GuarDDog v. 4, where it stores the position that i am ment to be in a variable, and if that user is after my number or equal to my number in the list, it plus 1 and then checks for the information, that way you get the right info.

2 alternatives you can try, both will work, but speed wise, i'm not to sure.

thanks gate, only one problem with that idea... i have no idea how to do it lol i just went threw GD 4.2 and couldnt find it between the 100's of aliases and in the nicklist code loli have the var set as that was easy, but i cant get it to check if they are after me, and if so to add +1 to it lol.... thanks

Neo

lol, my expertise in GuarDDog v. 4, confuse everyone with mass alias in 1 page .

this should give you some help.

it is the alias i use to retrieve the nick position.

gdnick { return $nick($active,$iif($did($did).sel > %me,$did($did).sel,$calc($did($did).sel -1))) }

strange how you guys have this prob, my nicklist removes my nick and puts it in another box and i dont have to -1 to it

it keeps it correct without doing that

maybe its how you have made your lists

yea it is ozzy, when i made my nicklist, i made it so that it would refer back to mIRC's hidden nicklist. I don't use sline or anything, just stright did seltext.

well using a few if's and a bit of work... and about 20 extra lines of code i dont need, but have to use cause i have no clue what im doing i have it working.... but i have one small problem that i cant seem to get:

How can i make the nicklist refresh when i switch channels? like im in #linux, and i switch to #Windows make it so the windows nicklist refreshes?

i need this because, i have a variable set when the nicklist refreshes that grabs my posistion in the nicklist, and -1's or does nothing depending on where i am and the next nick is, but if my nick is in diffrent posistions in diffrent rooms, it throws it off a bit. and i have no idea what code to use lol

Thanks Neo

P.S. thanks Gate for the alias but it just confused me more :s i have alot of learning to do before i can do the complicated stuff lol

on *:active:#: { 
refresh code here
}

is that not the part for if you change from 1 room to the next

lol i tried that, and it managed to kill mIRC and the dll im running to get info from Winamp killed winamp, which killed mysound card... which killed Media Player, which then crashed Explorer.exe, and unreal, and WhatPulse... shall i go on? lmao but thanks maria

Edit: well im not going to claim i know how, but i just tired it again... and it worked lmao o well as long as it works thanks all i think this one is solved
