I hav a sugestin that as well as .irc style tags, also .irc2 style tags that is for the uther stuf the server sent that is normaly hiden (and hav a "hiden" type so that you can hide it). Make the defalt hiden and if you want to see it you can type it in and indicate wich colors.

I hav more sugestins for BYOND scripts as well. Ther shud be number operaters and text functions and variables as well, and also events (that you can set wat hapens wen serten thing is receved or serten thing hapens). For example 1 example event code can be:

(For a game that you died and you want colored die mesiges:)
event
 if(~type=="output" && ~data=="You died!")
  override()
  output("You died!")


(For ad votes on IRC:)
var
 vote0=0
 vote1=0
 vote2=0

event
 if(~type=="serverdata" && findtext(~data,"&vote_Zzo38computer=0")) vote0=vote0+1
 if(~type=="serverdata" && findtext(~data,"&vote_Zzo38computer=1")) vote1=vote1+1
 if(~type=="serverdata" && findtext(~data,"&vote_Zzo38computer=2")) vote2=vote2+1

verb
 reset_vote()
  vote0=0
  vote1=0
  vote2=0
 show_vote()
  output("Vote 0: [vote0]")
  output("Vote 1: [vote1]")
  output("Vote 2: [vote2]")

I can't tell what you're trying to say. I'm guessing you're talking about allowing finer control over client-server communcation, and client-side procs. If that's so, it's already been suggested. If not, please improve your English skills. Actually, improve your English skills anyway.

Yes, and also option on Dream Seeker to override scripts for serten games. You first type the title and then the script file to use. Utherwise it uses the script that the server sends. For example if you dont want defalt chat commands or you want difrint defalt macro's or watever.

People such as Lummox JR seem to believe that he's mispelling things on purpose. In any case, he's managed to grasp the English language's grammar rules extremely well compared to the way he spells words. An ESL person would tend to write things which fit the grammar rules of their native language better.

Garthor was being quite serious. You couldn't tell? Garthor's commenting based on the fact that over many posts now, Zzo has shown no inclination to actually pick up on the correct spelling of anything or accept correction--or even acknowledge when he's been corrected. That's not indicative of a person who's learning anything; it's someone who's doing what they're doing on purpose, and cheekily avoids discussing it.

In any case, from extensive time online in both forum and chat environments, I can attest that people with poor English skills always always always have much better spelling than grammar. Zzo is not only the opposite of that, but his spelling mistakes have been so heinous as to be completely implausible. (A perfect example of that is "uv". Nobody but nobody misspells "of"; but if they did, U would not be the vowel they'd pick to spell it phonetically. The English "uh" sound of the vowel U rarely occurs in any other language. Instead it sounds like a long or short oo as in soon or book. This "mistake" would only make sense if the person had English as a background, in which case it wouldn't make sense at all. QED. Even so, anyone would have been able to pick up the correct spelling within about 2 minutes by reading other posts; to keep it up this long could only be intentional.)
