Author: zonkerz@starcafe.org (Zonkerz)
Uploader: zonkerz starcafe org (Zonkerz)
Type: comm/irc
Version: .5 Beta Release
Requires: rexxreqtools.library and Amirc 2.2 or better
Architecture: generic
pOpUp MaGiC v.5 Beta === Short Documentation ===
requires that AMIRC: be assigned to your amirc directory.
and popups: assigned to your popups directory
the installer script will install the popups: assign but won't
take effect til next reboot. Do it by hand if you want to use it right away.
PURPOSE:
--------
For Fun - Entertainment of Friends - Displaying personalized messages by using macros.
Contains Kicks, greets, Love, Funny and a variety of other popups. 500+ Popups included
in the archive.
INSTALLTION:
------------
Method 1:
Use the enclosed Installation Script
Method 2:
1. Copy popupmagic.amirx to AMIRC:rexx/
2. In LIBS: you need rexxreqtools.library which you can download from AMINET
which is located: RexxReqTools.lha util/rexx 65K 247 1.3 - requester for ARex
3. Assign popups: to the directory you have all the popups in. I have Assign Popups: Amirc:popups
4. Create a button for Amirc or an Alias
a. As a Button I use gave it the name pOpUps and the action it takes is /rx popupmagic.amirx
b. As an Alias you can easily do /pop /rx popupmagic.amirx
USAGE:
------
Click on a username and hit your button or type your alias(Button really works better)
then select from the directory listing of popups. Some Popups may bring up a requester
where you can type in a message. What you put in this depends on each popup. Try them
out is the only way to know what to say.
Any popup ending in -Msg lets you put in a message Often you can do things like ==== Message text /====/
and your message text that you type would appear in the middle.
CREATING POPUPS:
----------------
This is rather easy here too. Create a empty text file name is whatever you want the popup to be called
then place your text into it.
ie. /me hits $1 with a wet noodle.
Do NOT use Control-M to end your text(this seems to cause problems at this time)
MACRO DEFINITIONS IN POPUPS:
----------------------------
Standard PC Control-C / Control-K color codes are utilized in the text to display color to
IRC Programs that support color.
The Following Macros are acknowledged by the Popup interpreter (which is 100% written in arexx)
$1 | This is replaced by Selected Nick
$$1 | This is replaced by Selected Nick
$2 | This is replaced by 2nd user in the user list
$3 | This is replaced by 3rd user in the user list
$4 | This is replaced by 4th user in the user list
$5 | This is replaced by 5th user in the user list
$6 | This is replaced by 6th user in the user list
$7 | This is replaced by 7th user in the user list
$8 | This is replaced by 8th user in the user list
$9 | This is replaced by 9th user in the user list
$me | This is replaced by your Nick in the text.
$chan | This is replaced by the Channel Name in the text.
$$? | This causes a message requester to appear and the $$? is replaced by what you type in that requester. Best to keep messages short.
.timer | Timer is only recognized if it is last in the line it causes a delay before the next line is displayed.
/timer 1 5 | would activate a 5 second timer once... 2 5 would do 10 seconds i left it as 2 lines to keep
mirc compatiblity even though i don't treat it in exactly the same way. It also must be the only function on a line for it to work.
$day | Current Weekday
$month | Current Month
$fulldate | The FUll date
$me | Your Current nick
$time | The Current time
$?="ques" | would display to the user a question box asking for "Ques" or whatever you replace there. The popup
then replaces the entire $?="aslkdjflkjdsafj" with what they answer.
$+ | This is not implimented.
$! | This is not implimented
Any irc command is avaiable through it such as
/sound
/voice
/op
/deop
/me
/notice
/msg
DO_NOTS:
--------
DO not USE $R or $Q in any of your popups. These are currently reserved for the Rainbow messages.
Will be implimenting other macros in future versions of pOpUp MaGiC.
AFTER INSTALLATION:
-------------------
theres a few Aliases that you may enjoy. in the popups: directory pop popupmagicaliases-POPMEFIRST
this will add the following commands to your line
/smile
/angel
/mad
/kiss
/rose [nick]
/brb
/wb
/lol
/sad
after you do this, save your default settings if you like them.
ALSO TWO Special popups exist in the main part of the POPUPS: directory
--------
RAINBOW -- Run this and a message requester will popup. Type your message in it and it will assign each word a
seperate color and display it
and
RAINBOW2 -- Run this and a message requester will popup. Type your message in it and it will change each
character to a different color, bold it and display on a black background.
