Description
I just updated to v4.4 recently, Previously on v3.9 this piece of snippet works correctly.
if (%ispm) { echo -tfmc %mode $target %nickfmt %msg }
elseif (%check_hl) { echo -tlmc %mode $target %nickfmt %msg }
else { echo -tmc %mode $target %nickfmt %msg }
It's a script to check whether I have to ignore an highlight via custom pattern, reformat nick color to match the server's classic coloring output, and filter unwanted words/lines from message.
However as I updated, the script ON TEXT ($chan == $null) now uses $target of my own nickname instead the sender's $nick.
A temporary solution that I made for v4.4 is changing the $target on %ispm condition into $nick into this.
if (%ispm) { echo -tfmc %mode $nick %nickfmt %msg }
elseif (%check_hl) { echo -tlmc %mode $target %nickfmt %msg }
else { echo -tmc %mode $target %nickfmt %msg }
Current behavior of v4.4 bugged output:
[07:37:25] <Rei_Hakurei> faq osr [07:37:26] Rei_Hakurei <BanchoBot> Entry not found!
Expected behavior (from v3.9) output:
[07:37:25] <Rei_Hakurei> faq osr [07:37:26] <BanchoBot> Entry not found!

- Status changed from New to Invalid
- Target version set to 4.5
This is the correct behavior, the $target is you and the $nick is the sender. The previous behavior was wrong and fixed in 4.1.
You can verify this by testing in mirc with:
on *:TEXT:*:?:echo -s target is $target
I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but you can determine if the target is a channel with:
if ($target ischan) {
echo -ag $nick said $1- in a channel named $target
}
else {
echo -ag $nick said $1- in a private message to $me
}
You can also check if ($target == $me)
