I could add that, but Last.fm already does that. If you're using this script, you already have that information. Go to your last.fm profile, click on the list of artists, and you can then click on an artist to see a chart of which songs you've listened to and how many times you've listened to each one.
@Lucius Thanks, but the issue is other plurals (of which there are a lot). Checking for an s is easy enough as you showed, but there are other possibilities/alternate spellings, etc. that are difficult to look for
@bourneident The auto-stop is basically already there, you just have to !start n and it will stop after n questions. I could look into adding more scoring features in the future but at the moment I'm at college and I only have a macbook, so I can't really do any mIRC coding. I don't have too much time anyway, so it would have to wait.
If anyone wants to modify it themselves and re-post it I would be fine with that, since I'm probably not going to be able to work on it again for a while if at all.
On a macbook at school right now so I can't check (can't even find the mIRC help file online...) but I'm pretty sure there's an identifier that can get the server's character limit. It'd be easier to use that than to have to manually modify it for each server. Especially if you're on multiple servers.
Amazingly Windows and Mac are widely used...it probably has nothing to do with their use of windows over text commands.
Not everyone looking at scripts on this site is a scripter, many are just regular mIRC users who want to find scripts to make things easier or perform cool functions they wouldn't know how to write on their own.
/scon -a isn't exactly common knowledge, so this dialog makes global actions possible for those who wouldn't otherwise know how to do them.
I started working on something to try to accommodate plurals/singular but it ended up being more difficult than I had imagined. The issue is that many words don't simply need an s to be plural, so it's a lot more work than it would seem.
I might look back into it, although I did write this a while ago and at this point I'd probably just want to re-write it, which I don't really have time for now :\
It's not case sensitive so that shouldn't matter..and I haven't heard of this bug before (except for something with nicknames being an issue, but I thought I fixed that, and that was only when nicknames had dashes). Try to change nicknames and then answer, or have somebody else answer maybe, and then let me know if that seems to fix whatever the problem is. I don't really know why that would be happening though, sorry.
Thanks for this! I just started on my 2nd app.. (first is in review and probably will be for another week at least, but I'll post an image if/when it gets approved) ...and I wanted to use regex but when I added the regexkitlite.h and .m files I got 13 errors, figured I did something wrong and almost gave up. Then I remembered you had a snippet posted and your walkthrough at the end saved me, thanks!
