How to make your own theme
Contents
Start
We'll start off with some variables, these all need to be set for theme to work
alias setvars { ;color of timestamp set %color_timestamp 03 ;color of @-prefix set %color_op 10 ;color of +-prefix set %color_voice 11 ;color of %-prefix set %color_hop 06 ;color of nick set %color_nick 14 ;color of highlight line set %color_highlight 04 ;color of link set %color_link 07 ;color of left and right delimiters ie: <nick> set %color_delimiter 05 ;color of a system message set %color_sysmsg 04 ;color of system message delimiter ie: !highlight> set %color_system_delimiter 05 ;left delimiter of system messages set %delimiter_system_left ! ;right delimiter of system messages set %delimiter_system_right > ;left delimiter of timestamp set %delimiter_timestamp_left ( ;right delimiter of timestamp set %delimiter_timestamp_right ) ;left delimiter of nick set %delimiter_left ( ;right delimiter of nick set %delimiter_right ) }
Helpful aliases
These aliases are meant to make things easier with the theme
$clr
First we have clr alias (short for color), so we don't have to use ctrl+k in the script, just $clr(control code), ie. $clr(03) is the same as ctrl+k 3
alias clr { return $+($chr(3),$base($1,10,10,2)) $+ $iif($2,$+($chr(44),$base($2,10,10,2)),) }
$urlc
Then an alias which underlines and colors links
alias urlc { ;assign $1- into a variable var %line = $1- ;check with regex if the line includes www. or http:// if ($regex(%line,(\bwww\.|http:\/\/))) { var %x = 1 ;loop through the line while (%x <= $numtok(%line,32)) { ;check if a link is found if ($regex($gettok(%line,%x,32),(www\.|http:\/\/))) { ;put some colors and underline to the link, $chr(31) is the underline var %l2 = $+($clr(%color_link),$chr(31),$gettok(%line,%x,32),$chr(31),$clr) ;replace the old link with the new, colored one %line = $puttok(%line,%l2,%x,32) } inc %x } } return %line }
$modeprefix
An alias to return colored modeprefix of a nick, usage: $modeprefix($nick,$chan)
alias modeprefix { ;we will uset $matchtok to find out if modeprefix is one of @,+ or % ;and then replace to color them ;if you don't like the space between left delimiter and nick when there's no mode ;change the $chr(160) to $chr(32) or leave it blanc return $iif( $& $matchtok(@.+.%,$left($nick($2,$1).pnick,1),1,46), $& $replace($ifmatch, $& @,$+($clr(%color_op),@,$clr), $& +,$+($clr(%color_voice),+,$clr), $& %,$+($clr(%color_hop),%,$clr) $& ),$chr(160)) }
$theme_nick
An alias to return nick with modeprefix and delimiters, ie. (@Cail)
alias theme_nick { ;this alias return colored timestamp, modeprefix, nick ;with custom delimiters return $+( $& $clr(%color_delimiter),%delimiter_left, $& $modeprefix($1,$chan), $& $clr(%color_nick),$1, $& $clr(%color_delimiter),%delimiter_right, $& $clr $& ) }
$theme_system
An alias, same as Theme_nick but return system messages, ie. (join) with colors
alias theme_system { ;this alias returns colored system messages. ie: highlight, topic, etc. ;with custom delimiter ;use the mirc event colors for text color, we need to replace rawmode with mode to get the correct color, we also don't want to trigger for raws ;and we check if $2 is set, so we can set the event color if we want to; ie. $theme_system(topic,topic) if (($event) && ($event != text) && ($event !isnum)) || ($2) { var %event_color = $color($replace($iif($2,$2,$event),rawmode,mode)) }
return $+( $& $clr(%color_system_delimiter),%delimiter_system_left, $& $clr(%color_sysmsg),$1, $& $clr(%color_system_delimiter),%delimiter_system_right, $& $clr(%event_color) $& ) }
Events
These are the modified events to prevent the mirc default text with haltdef, and echo messages the way we want.
On Start
For on start event, i only set the timestamp at this point.
on *:start:{ ;we'll set this timestamp everytime when you start mirc, so the colors won't disappear .timestamp -f $+( $& $clr(%color_timestamp),%delimiter_timestamp_left, $& HHnn ss, $& %delimiter_timestamp_right, $& $clr) }
On Input
Replacing our own input.
on *:INPUT:*: { ;we will check that ctrl wasn't pressed while pressing enter, and that it's not a command if ($left($1,1) === $readini(mirc.ini,text,commandchar)) && (!$ctrlenter) { return } ;halt the default actions haltdef ;we'll put the line into a variable, in case we want to modify it for the echo ;in this case i have an alias called urlc, that underlines and colors links var %line = $urlc($1-) ;here is the part what we send as msg, we want to send $1- and not the variable .msg $target $1- ;then we have the echo, where i'm also using my own alias theme_nick, which returns ;modeprefix, and the brackets around the nick echo -at $theme_nick($nick) %line }
On Text (channel)
Replacing incoming text from a channel.
on ^*:TEXT:*:#: { ;again halt the default actions and assign $1- into a variable haltdef var %line = $urlc($1-) ;a regular expression to check if the line contains your nick ;triggers for Cail, Caili, Cail:, basically nick + 1 character if ($regex($1-,$+(/\b,$me,.?\b/i))) { ;if the active window isn't the same as the window where the highlight was; echo it to the active if ($active != $chan) { echo -at $theme_system(highlight) $+($clr(4),$chan,/,$nick,:) %line } echo -mt $chan $theme_nick($nick) $+($clr(%color_highlight),%line) } else { echo -mt $chan $theme_nick($nick) %line } }
On Text (query)
Replacing incoming text from query.
on ^*:TEXT:*:?: { ;halt default actions, and set $1- into a variable haltdef var %line = $urlc($1-) echo -mt $nick $theme_nick($nick) %line }
On Action
Replacing action texts.
on ^*:ACTION:*:*: { haltdef ;if you like to see actions like: timestamp * nick does stuff, you can add ; infront of the 1st line and ;take it off from the 2nd echo -mt $iif($chan,$chan,$nick) $theme_system(action) $nick $1- ;echo -mt $iif($chan,$chan,$nick) $+($clr($color(Action text)),*) $nick $1- }
On Join
Replacing join event.
on ^*:JOIN:#: { haltdef ;if it's you who joins the chan, echo "You have entered #channel" if ($nick == $me) { echo -t $chan $theme_system(join) You have entered $chan } ;else if the nick has quit setting usermode +x ;show "Nick sets usermode +x" instead of quit and join elseif ($($+($(%registered.,0),$cid,.,$nick),2)) { echo -t $chan $theme_system(usermode) $nick sets usermode +x } ;else show the normal join else { echo -t $chan $theme_system(join) $nick $site } }
On Part
Replacing part event (! means it won't trigger if you part).
on !^*:PART:#: { ;this event only triggers if someone else parts haltdef var %message = $1- echo -t $chan $theme_system(part) $nick $site %message }
On Quit
Replacing quit event, "Registered quits" aren't shown.
on ^*:QUIT: { haltdef ;check if the quit message is "registered", this means the user is setting usermode +x ;we don't show the quit here, we only show "Nick sets usermode +x" when the user joins back if ($1 == registered) { set -u5 $($+($(%registered.,0),$cid,.,$nick),1) $true } ;else the quit is normal, and is looped through $comchans ;and echoed into each channel else { var %message = $1- var %x = 1 while ($comchan($nick,%x)) { echo -t $comchan($nick,%x) $theme_system(quit) $nick $site %message inc %x } } }
On Kick
Replacing kick event, "you kicked", "you were kicked" and "someone was kicked by somebody".
on ^*:KICK:#: { ;halt default actions and assign kick message into a variable haltdef var %message = $1- ;if you were kicked if ($knick == $me) { echo -t $chan $theme_system(kick) You were kicked from $chan by $nick $+ : %message } ;else if you kicked someone elseif ($nick == $me) { echo -t $chan $theme_system(kick) You kicked $knick from $chan $+ : %message } ;else someone else kicked someone else else { echo -t $chan $theme_system(kick) $knick was kicked from $chan by $nick $+ : %message } }
On Nick
Replacing nick event, "you kicked", "you were kicked" and "someone was kicked by somebody".
on ^*:NICK: { haltdef ;see if it's you who changed the nick and loop through all the channels if ($nick == $me) { var %chans = 1 while ($chan(%chans)) { echo -t $chan(%chans) $theme_system(nick) You morphed to $newnick inc %chans } } ;else it's someone else who changed the nick, now we have to loop through $comchans else { var %chans = 1 while ($comchan($newnick,%chans) ) { echo -t $comchan($newnick,%chans) $theme_system(nick) $nick morphed to $newnick inc %chans } } }
On Notice
Replacing notice event.
on ^*:NOTICE:*:?: { ;halt default actions, assign $1- into a var and acho notice into active window haltdef var %line = $urlc($1-) echo -at $theme_system(notice) $nick $+ : %line }
On Open (Query)
Adding irssi-style "session started with $nick" to on open event.
on *:open:?:*:{ ;we're gonna echo irssi-style "session started with $nick" when someone querys you echo -t $nick $theme_system(query) session started with $nick }
On Rawmode
We're using rawmode to affect all the mode changes at the same, you can ofcourse do ON OP, ON VOICE, and other events if you wish to do them differently
on ^*:rawmode:#: { haltdef echo -t $chan $theme_system(chan mode) $nick sets mode: $1- on $chan }
On Topic
We'll handle topic in 2 different places now, the other is on topic to see the topic changes, and other is raw's 331, 332 and 333, which are returned by /topic #channel
on ^*:TOPIC:#: { haltdef ;check if there are no words, ($0 returns tokens seperated by $chr(32)), if this happens, the topic has been cleared if ($0 == 0) { echo -mt $chan $theme_system(topic) $chan $+ : $nick clears the topic } ;else the topic is set or changed else { echo -mt $chan $theme_system(topic) $chan $+ : $nick changes topic to $chr(34) $+ $1- $+ $chr(15) $+ $chr(34) } }
Raws
I'm not gonna add all of the raw events here, only a few common ones, like whois and topic.
Whois
;raw 311 returns name and host after /whois raw 311:*:{ haltdef ;we'll echo a system message "whois Nick", name and host into seperate lines echo -at $theme_system(whois $2) echo -at - name: $6- echo -at - host: $3 $+ @ $+ $4 } ;raw 319 returns channels where the user is raw 319:*:{ haltdef var %x = 1,%chans ;we loop through the channels and put some colors to modeprefix and comchans while (%x <= $numtok($3-,32)) { %chan = $gettok($3-,%x,32) %mode = $iif($left(%chan,1) != $chr(35),$+($clr(3),$left(%chan,1),$clr),) %chan = $iif($left(%chan,1) != $chr(35),$right(%chan,-1),%chan) %chan = %mode $+ $iif($me ison %chan,$+($clr(12),%chan,$clr),%chan) %chans = %chans %chan inc %x } ;we also echo how many channels the user is seen on echo -at - chans $+($chr(40),$numtok($3-,32),$chr(41),) %chans } ;raw 312 returns the server that the user is connected to raw 312:*:{ haltdef echo -at - using $3- } ;raw 330 returns authname of the user (only in Quakenet) raw 330:*: { haltdef echo -at - authed as $3 } ;raw 317 returns idletime and signontime of the user raw 317:*:{ haltdef ;we will use $duration to calculate users idle and how long he has been connected to server echo -at - idle: $duration($3) $+ , irc: $duration($calc( $ctime - $4 )) $+ , signon: $date($4) $time($4) } ;raw 313 returns if the user is an IRC operator on network (quite rare ;) raw 313:*:{ haltdef echo -at - $2 is an IRC operator on $network } ;raw 318 is the "end of whois", i usually like to hide it, but you can take the ; off from the echo. raw 318:*:{ haltdef ;echo -at $theme_system(whois $2) }
Topic
This is the other modification we make to affect the topic.
;raw 331 is returned when you join a channel, or when you do /topic #channel, you'll get this raw instead of raw 332 if there is no topic on the channel raw 331:*: { haltdef echo -t $2 $theme_system(topic,topic) No topic is set for $2 } ;raw 332 is the same as raw 331, but returns the topic if it's set raw 332:*: { haltdef echo -t $2 $theme_system(topic,topic) Topic is " $+ $3- $+ $chr(15) $+ " } ;raw 333 returns who set the topic and when, after joining a channel or by /topic #channel raw 333:*: { haltdef echo -t $2 $theme_system(topic,topic) Topic set by $gettok($3,1,33) on $asctime($4) }
Own input
These are just modified aliases to match the theme
/query
Here we also add the irssi-style "session started with Someone", this can be used /query nick blaa blaa, or by doubleclicking a nick in nicklist or channel (if you have doubleclick action set to /query $$1 in options, alt+o -> mouse)
alias query { ;first, a silent query to open the chatwindow, we don't want to send anything yet .query $$1 ;we're adding the irssi-style "session started with Someone" echo -t $$1 $theme_system(query) session started with $$1 ;now we check if we had anything to send, if so, we'll do a silent msg for the nick if ($2) { .msg $$1 $2- echo -t $$1 $theme_nick($me) $2- } }
/me
alias me { ;silent me $1- and echo, here you can also choose to show it like: * Nick does some action ;or by the theme .me $1- echo -at $theme_system(action,action) $me $1- ;echo -at $+($clr($color(Action text)),*) $me $1- }
/notice
alias notice { ;same goes for notice, we don't need to add haltdef's here since we do the commands silent .notice $$1 $2- echo -t $theme_system(notice,notice) $$1 $+ : $2- }
