How to make #chat capture from EQIM tells ?

VesperKnight · Post by **VesperKnight** » Wed Jul 30, 2003 4:05 pm

Hrmm... think this would be possible? As it is #chat tell will not react if tells are coming from EQIM as opposed to real tells

anyone got any idea how to make this work?

It should be easy to add. What's the exact text you get when you receive one of these tells?

you get the same text as if you received a regular tell

but if press R to reply.. or if you wanted to send a tell to someone you knew was on EQIM and not in-game.. you'd have to type ;tell instead of /tell

No, there is a slight difference in the text, I just can't remember exactly what it is.

I can tell the difference between an EQIM tell and an in-game tell.

I think it usually tells you something like "server.name tells you, '...'"
even if the server is the one you're currently on

With some of the more recent client changes, same-server ;tells only show the person's name. Haven't done many cross-server tells but it comes in handy on Fir Vie where you don't have a common tongue.

In game tells have the syntax: <person> tells you, '<msg>'
EQIM (chat server) do syntax: <person> told you, '<msg>'

subtle difference but that's what you're asking ya?

thanks.. well now that we know the difference.. can anyone figure how to make commands receivable via the EQIM? that was the whole point of this thread

Ok then. Open EQLib_Hooks.cpp go to void CChatHook::detour(PCHAR,DWORD,DWORD), find the if/elseif blocks and add this (red is existing code):

Code: Select all

[color=red]				AddEvent(EVENT_CHAT,"tell",Arg1,Arg2);[/color]
			} else if ((strstr(szMsg," told you, '")) && (CHATEVENT(CHAT_TELL))) { 
				strncpy(Arg1,szMsg,(DWORD)(strstr(szMsg," told you, '")-szMsg)); 
				strcpy(Arg2,strstr(szMsg," told you, '")+12); 
				Arg2[strlen(Arg2)-1]=0; 
				AddEvent(EVENT_CHAT,"tell",Arg1,Arg2);
[color=red]			} else if ((strstr(szMsg," says out of character, '")) && (CHATEVENT(CHAT_OOC))) {[/color]

thanks a lot? any chance to have this included in the cvs files since I think it's missing from there and should be there.

Wouldn't we also want the cross-server chat to set the gLastTell to be that person also?

Also in EQLib_Hooks.cpp

Code: Select all

[color=red]				gZoning=FALSE; 
			} 
			gbInGame=TRUE; 
		} else if (strstr(szMsg," tells you, '")) { 
			strncpy(gLastTell,szMsg,(DWORD)(strstr(szMsg," tells you, '")-szMsg)); [/color]
		} else if (strstr(szMsg," told you, '")) { 
			strncpy(gLastTell,szMsg,(DWORD)(strstr(szMsg," told you, '")-szMsg));

Please, add this to CVS. I'm tired of changing it after getting the new .zip and having the change overwritten. I use EQIM to check my bazaar mule's status while at work.

Edit: changed as of last MQ patch.

Code: Select all

[color=red]                                } else if (strstr(szMsg," tells you, '")) { 
			ZeroMemory(gLastTell,MAX_STRING);
			strncpy(gLastTell,szMsg,(DWORD)(strstr(szMsg," tells you, '")-szMsg)); [/color]
		} else if (strstr(szMsg," told you, '")) { 
			ZeroMemory(gLastTell,MAX_STRING);
			strncpy(gLastTell,szMsg,(DWORD)(strstr(szMsg," told you, '")-szMsg)); 
		}
