Hi!
I’m pretty sure, this isn’t where I should ask for this help, but I’m thinking that it could be my best change,
to be redirected to somewhere or someone that can help me.
I’m not really NEW NEW to irssi, but you can still call me a novice.
My project I’m working with, is nothing hard or heavy at all.
All I’m doing, is to change a few formats for the AWL (adv_windowlist.pl), and I’ve managed to do a few of them on my own.
But now, I’m kind of in the dark, or….correction, I’ve been in the dark all the time, but I’m used to work my way forward, step by step, until
I’ve reached my goal. It can take time, a lot of time! I’m telling you, last night I sat 2 hours to get one single format setting as i wanted it.
Now to my problem, I’ve searched and searched, but can’t find WHERE it is.
I so REALLY much want to know where the settings for the prefix and suffix for the nicks are,
what the format ”variable” is (if it’s really even a format). I want to do this, just for the cause I can’t stop when I’ve started something.
And this is killing me now when I’m stuck
Mind this is a chat, i want the to be like ~nick~ just for an example.
12:58:53 ~ meffe+~ i think I’m getting thai!
13:03:47 ~franstam+~ dinnertime catch u guys later
13:05:56 ~valdur55+~ oh. much better.
I really hope you can help me, or point/redirect me in the right direction!
Best regards – Joohan
