Topic: Strip Colors by Default?

[John0877]

how would i make it strip all colors by default cause some channels im in dont allow color coding?


also how would i reorder the popup menu or remove some items like GetRight Status for example since i dont use GetRight?

Well, you could modify your theme to not use any colors, or you put -s behind every command (/aud -s).

To make it stip the colors by default you'll need to edit the code in gtsdll.ini.
Line 436:

Code: [Select]

if (s isin %param1) %message = $strip(%message,c)

Change it to:

Code: [Select]

%message = $strip(%message,c)

To reorder the popup menu you'll need to edit the code in gtsdll.ini too.
The popup menus are around line 2538.
It starts with

Code: [Select]

#GTSDLL.PopUp on
menu channel,query {
(it could be "#GTSDLL.PopUp off" too, if you turned off the built-in popups off in settings)

and ends with

Code: [Select]

}
#GTSDLL.PopUp end
You can remove & exchange lines between those if you want.
if you want furher help with editing the popup menus, use "/help popup menus".

There currently is no way, to do the stuff you mentioned without editing the file.

the popup editing  worked great, thanks

but the color code stripping isnt working all the way. some colors are stripped and some arent. if i do audio status  part of the line isnt colored and part is, if i do torrent status  part of the lines are and part arent, on torrent totals the whole line is color stripped. ive gone though the colors section in the GUI settings in mirc and  theres no color coding  that i can tell in those lines.

i updated to 1.2.7.3 also so the line youre referring to is 435 now

the whole line i have is this
n435=      %message = $strip(%message,c)

[GTS]

Does that mean you solved it?

[John0877]

not entirely, some color codes remain.

[GTS]

It could be that the [bar] tags of your theme still contain colors.

For example  [bar=20,7,5]

the syntax of it is:
[bar=length,progress-color,progress-left-color]

So you need to change it to [bar=20,-1,-1] (-1 means no color code is used)
Sometimes there is a color code in front or behind the [bar] tag too.

[John0877]

that did it. but now that the progress bar was all one color i saw no point in having it so i just took out the whole  progress bar section instead. *shrug*


thanks

Glad i could help

On a similar note, is there a way to force it to use colors no matter what?

On the networks that I'm on, +c only "bans" colors from anyone that isn't voiced or higher, so even if I'm an op and the chan is set to +c (no colors) I can't display anything with colors in it!

I don't particularly want to go through the code to take off color stripping, changing it to something like "if (c isincs $gettok($chan(#).mode,1,32) && $me !isreg #) { display w/ colors }" instead of whatever it is now that strips so long as there is a c in the mode :/

[GTS]

I think this is what you want

Replace line 478:

Code: [Select]

if (c isincs $gettok($chan($iif(%gtsdll.cmdparam.channel,%gtsdll.cmdparam.channel,$active)).mode,1,32)) var %message = $strip(%message,c)

with

Code: [Select]

      if ((c isincs $gettok($chan($iif(%gtsdll.cmdparam.channel,%gtsdll.cmdparam.channel,$active)).mode,1,32)) $&
        && ($me isreg $chan($iif(%gtsdll.cmdparam.channel,%gtsdll.cmdparam.channel,$active)))) $&
        var %message = $strip(%message,c)

That would do the trick. It only strips colors when you're a regular nick

I wonder if there is a way to check how a server handles the +c mode.

Thanks, that worked perfectly! (I thought I'd have to change a ton more lines than that :/ )

Yes, the easiest way is to simply check the version of the ircd, the main ones would be easy to code, but you'd have to have something that adapted to new ones that you don't know about, perhaps adding them to the table for the user (and if it's not too suspicious, report it to your site, which could then update the table for everyone, and each revision you'd have a more up to date table.) 

I know that plexus will do it that way (only blocks colors if you're a reg), unreal blocks it regardless of your chan status, and digircd-1.1(01)-beta acts the same as plexus.  Perhaps you and your staffers are on other networks and can do a "/raw version" look at the $1 and make a hashtable, or a couple variables that list each network type under what they allow.  I figure this would be easier than just listing by network since networks can change and you can't look at all 3k+ networks that are prolly out there.
