You have to state what "chokes" mean, is it a Tcl error? if so then you have to paste the errorInfo to detect where the error occurred.

How to write eggdrop scripts that won't choke on special characters

The problem is the script uses lots of variables within quotes, and doesn't use the curly braces to suppress interpreter from getting choked on special characters.. I experienced similar issues hacking the google script so I'm fairly certain this causes it. Every place where $nick is referenced within quotes you will have to encapsulate it. $nick -> ${nick}

line 246, for example:

Code:

# choke on special charsunochanmsg "stopped by \00310$nick!$uhost\003"# stop chokingunochanmsg "stopped by \00310${nick}!$uhost\003"

i actually modified it in the following way:

Code:

if {[string match "*\{*" $nick] || [string match "*\}*" $nick] } { unontc $nick "Sorry $nick - you cannot join uno with this nick please use a nick that does not contain \002\{\}\002." return 0 }

at least till someone does what i don't feel like doing lol

You have to [split] and [join] the nick in each of the procs... Personally, I just ban stupid nickchars in my channels..

hey guys,

there's a problem in marky's color uno, where the script chokes on players with nicks containing { }.
Anyone has this fixed, or is willing to work on fixing it? am not finding much time to do that.

Thanks
