there is no gif? the emoticons are a built in java feature that do not show up on mirc. they show up as red text instead. i changed it to make it show up as text smileys

how do i add the gif (emoticons) ? do i make a new folder under in the irc directory?

Ryan, you could've done the if-then-else comparison saving yourself an if statement and the repetition of another:

alias emoticon {
  tokenize 32 $strip($1-)
  if ($count($1-,PRIVMSG,IMAGE)) {
    if ($4 == $me) {
      echo -t $remove($gettok($2,1,33),$chr(58)) $remove($gettok($2,1,33),$chr(58)) $replace($1-,smile,:),sad,:(,cry,:'(,$&
        mad,D:<,tongue,:P,kiss,:*,smirk,:>,surprise,:o,undecided,:\,indifferent,:/,evil,>:D)
    }
    else {
      echo -t $4 $remove($gettok($2,1,33),$chr(58)) $replace($1-,smile,:),sad,:(,cry,:'(,$&
        mad,D:<,tongue,:P,kiss,:*,smirk,:>,surprise,:o,undecided,:\,indifferent,:/,evil,>:D)
    }
  }
}

It's either the nick equals $me or not. A simple true or false.

Thank you for clearing that up. I knew there was a reason just didn't know what it was.

and even if you could just use the on load. that would be a fail since you don't load the script everytime you open mirc. it must work on the on connect everytime or else the script will fail.

yelow79, lots of people have such a misconception that on load event will trigger when a script is loaded in a remote. That's not often the case. On occasions mIRC will prompt for initialization of a script, but most of the time it'll require you to load it manually for the onload event to execute. If you copy a simple snippet directly into the remote without a manual load, the load event is useless.

extio, why will you bother with a loop? :/ Do you care to demonstrate to us your idea behind a loop?

ooo i didnt realize jethro's did it without a loop. but i dont understand it at all. hmm...

Ryan or whoever else....
Why did you use " on :connect: " instead of "on :load: "

wouldn't on load remove the issue you have of loading the script and then having to reconnect to a server?

also going off of jethros example

alias emoticon {
  tokenize 32 $strip($1-)
  if ($count($1-,PRIVMSG,IMAGE)) && ($4 == $me) {
    echo -t $remove($gettok($2,1,33),$chr(58)) $remove($gettok($2,1,33),$chr(58)) $replace($1-,smile,:),sad,:(,cry,:'(,$&
      mad,D:<,tongue,:P,kiss,:*,smirk,:>,surprise,:o,undecided,:\,indifferent,:/,evil,>:D)
  }
  elseif ($count($1-,PRIVMSG,IMAGE)) && ($4 != $me) {
    echo -t $4 $remove($gettok($2,1,33),$chr(58)) $replace($1-,smile,:),sad,:(,cry,:'(,$&
      mad,D:<,tongue,:P,kiss,:*,smirk,:>,surprise,:o,undecided,:\,indifferent,:/,evil,>:D)
  }
}

that is the corrected version that will work for both channel and pm emoticon messages

We were all newbies some time, by doing it a way we could of understood then may or may not help them now.

yes i probably could use a loop. i could also use a txt or ini to just read from and replace easily. but i tend to like going the simplistic route. when i code i always think about the noobs and i try to code in a way that while may not be the BEST way it might now always look the best but i try to make it so the noobs can easily learn from it and therefore pull it apart easier and go ok this makes this run this is how this can be done and give them a basis to work off of for their own scripts.

i know there would be a way to use a loop to avoid a lot of that code and use variables to change just the parts...... but i guess thats unimportant.

I love how everyone knows your name Ryan, lol. :)

Nice work though. =)

I always like seeing different ways of doing the same thing. I believe it helps everyone learn more.

no i don't mind i like learning new ways of doing stuff jeth:) i just don't always understand it right off the bat

Yeah Ryan. I didn't mean to barge in like that and correct you. It's just all the ifs and repetitions get the best of me and I couldn't help but offer my two cents. ^^

oo now that i look more i understand yours

O_O yea that makes no sense to me jethro and i just made my version bigger ran into a problem with it happening in pm's had to figure out how to fix that

Let's shrink it down a bit, Ryan:

alias emoticon {
  tokenize 32 $strip($1-)
  if ($count($1-,PRIVMSG,IMAGE)) {
    echo -t $4 $remove($gettok($2,1,33),$chr(58)) $replace($1-,smile,:),sad,:(,cry,:'(,$&
      mad,D:<,tongue,:P,kiss,:*,smirk,:>,surprise,:o,undecided,:\,indifferent,:/,evil,>:D)
  }
}

Did you mean $strip($1-) ?
