jIRCii Scripting Guide: Customizing Your IRC Output jIRCii is a powerful, lightweight Java-based IRC client that provides exceptional scripting capabilities, allowing users to move beyond the default IRC experience. While many clients offer basic aliasing, jIRCii uses the Sleep scripting language, giving scripters granular control over how text is processed, displayed, and formatted.
This guide will walk you through customizing your IRC output, from simple text coloring to building complex GUI elements. 1. Getting Started with jIRCii Scripting
jIRCii scripts are text files, usually ending in .sl or .irc. They are loaded into the client via /load filename.sl. The core of customization lies in hijacking events and defining aliases. The Anatomy of a Script
# Simple Alias to format text alias hello { say(“Hello, world! I am using jIRCii.”); } Use code with caution. 2. Customizing Output with Events (Hijacking Text)
To change how output looks in your chat window, you can use the on keyword to listen for specific events (like a public message) and modify the output. Example: Coloring Public Messages
Use the on irc_privmsg event to intercept channel messages and reformat them using Sleep’s built-in coloring tools.
# Highlight messages from a specific user on irc_privmsg { # \(1 = query/channel, \)2 = sender, \(3 = message if (\)2 eq “OperatorBot”) { # Prints message in bold red println(“[\c04 \(+ \)2 \(+ \c] \)3-”); } else { # Default behavior println(“<\c03 \(+ \)2 \(+ \c> \)3-”); } } Use code with caution. Key Formatting Tools: \cXX: Color code (e.g., \c04 for red). \b: Bold. \u: Underline. 3. Creating Complex GUI Output
For more advanced customization, you can use the gui.irc addon to create windows, buttons, and panels rather than just posting text to the buffer. Creating a Message Window
Instead of printing to the main window, you can create a custom window to display specialized output.
# Define a custom GUI window sub show_custom_window { local(’\(window'); \)window = [\(gui create: "Custom Output"]; [\)window setTitle: “Script Output”]; # Add text to the GUI window [\(window addText: "This is a custom GUI message!"]; [\)window show]; } Use code with caution. 4. Automating Output and Logging
You can use scripting to automatically format logs or create custom “quit” messages.
# Custom quit message alias q { quit(“Gone fishing: ” . $1); } Use code with caution. 5. Tips for Effective Customization
Keep it Simple: The gui.irc tool is designed to be simple. For complex GUI components, keep them focused on one task.
Use println vs say: Use println to print text only for you (in your client), and say to send text to the channel.
Test in a Query: Test new formatting scripts in a query window first to avoid spamming public channels.
By using the Sleep scripting language, you can transform jIRCii into a perfectly tailored chat experience.
