Nicklist not Alphabetically anymore

Postby XyPe » Thu Feb 12, 2004 6:49 am

Hi all :-)

I've recently opened up a new client using version 2520 and the new mIRC version 6.12
I tried the latest version for a while, but it was still too buggy for me to handle... So anyway, to get my bug/question...

With the new mIRC and the 2520 version the nicklist seems not to display Alphabetically anymore... Well it's still alphabetically but it's placing nicks with non letter ASCII characters on top first.

Example of how it is now:

[ada
[noob]
[xdcc]lolwhatever
adam
bert
zorro

Example og how it was before AND how it should be ;-)

adam
bert
zorro
[ada
[noob]
[xdcc]lolwhatever

Hope you see what i mean, I know it's something to do with invsion cause mIRC uses the first list by default, unless a script is added to alter it.
With all the other versions of invision/mirc it was like i always seen it (second list)
Kinda like it better like it should be :)

Hope you guys know some easy fixes for it :)
Tnx in advance for all replies.

Grtz, XyPe[/u]

From mIRC release notes:
Khaled is now using Visual C++ .NET 7.0 to compile mIRC. This also means nicknames are sorted a bit different, nicks beginning with certain non-alphabetic characters eg. _ ' etc. are being placed above normal nicks. This appears to be the standard sorting method in Windows, which Visual C++ abides by consistently. It now applies to the whole of mIRC.

So there cant be any script written to alter the nicklist? Just like you could write a script for the colors, write one for the order with they come in...

Colors

The scripts for colors only change your mIRC options. Colors are set up in your Address book in mIRC (Alt-B). Invision just makes it easier to do that.

The nick list order is not done by any mIRC options. It would take recoding mIRC to change how the list is displayed.
You can find me at #Invision on irc.irchighway.net or #OldGames on irc.undernet.org if you need me for anything.
