Question about bot talk

Two questions:

1) I want the bot to welcome someone by name when they enter. When I put the following "Sup $nick, welcome to the room" in the welcome message thang, it actually says $nick, instead of their name. How can I add their name to the message?

2) Where do you look to find all the talk listings? Today a chatter said BRB and my bot responded to hurry back....yet I can't find that anywhere in the menus. I'd love to customize the talking if possible.

Thank u

Ok, this is the basics of the basics, its the first thing I ever learned about IRC.

First go to your remotes, make a new one name it whatever.mrc and put the following in it:

on *:join:/msg $chan Welcome $nick

That just might work but im only 50% sure, Ill check later.

Now for the botalk, theres no specific file for it, its just a file, so just look threw them until you see one that should look like bottalk. (also try bottalk.txt)

I still don't know where to look. "go to your remotes" doesn't tell me anything.

Thank you for trying to help me, but I spose that only someone familiar with GuarDDog can answer.

1) You don't use Bot Talk to welcome people. Welcoming Chatters with messages can be found in the ExtremE dialog, under "Welcome for Chatters"

2) Don't put $nick, because it can't identify with that. use $nick and if you want to join something like a , to the end of the nickname

use

$nick $+ ,

$+ basically means join the last word with the next word. but you got to remember to put spaces between it so it knows that $nick is a command, mIRC cannot identify with $nick, because it is not a command, that is why it kept showing up as $nick, when it messaged.

$+ is used when mIRC default/custom aliases/identifiers are used. For example

on *:JOIN:#:{ msg # Hello $nick $+ , welcome to the room. You joined at $fulldate $+ :) }

So, since $nick and $fulldate are a custom identifier, $+ must be used if you want something immediately following. (IE: , . ! etc etc) If you look through a script, and see anything that has an $ on it, it is identifing a custom alias or a mIRC identifier. Personally, I use $ for my identifiers. Some people use /. Glitch, your code would'nt work because you forgot your channel identifier.

Ok......I determined that I was using version 3.6 of GD. I have since downloaded version 4 and clearly see how to control it. However...I can't use it.

I completely uninstalled 3.6 and rebooted, then installed 4.0. Used Update 1.7 to get my profile info.

I put in my user/profile info.....then went to download the msn room list. It says it's downloading the list...then it acts like....here it is. But the window is blank.

It behaves as if there are links on the window.....cuz the little hand changes as I move the cursor.....but nothing happens when I click.

Is this a bug? Or did I miss a step somewhere?

there is a passport updater built into it, with vincula options, works completely fine. you shouldn't need a to use any other passport updater with it. and when you view the room list, it shows up blank because its something in the DLL. to fix this problem, just resize the window slightly, and the image will appear infront of your eyes.

You can also hold your mouse button down, and highlight in the chat window. This will help bring the text into view. After you highlight it it will work fine, then.

not with the smilies system i have, when you hold the mouse down, if a person types anything, the text pushes up the page, and makes you select everything between your original click, and the next line down which got pushed into its place. Does this problem occur on your web-chat2 theme?
