  • MRC updates - 15th April 2025

    From Keyop to All on Tue Apr 15 22:05:10 2025
    The following updates have been made to the MRC chat system - enjoy! :

    Enhancements:

    /q added as a shortcut for /quit
    /? added as a shortcut for /quote help

    Fixes:


    Incoming messages don't get added to the chat window while scrolling or reviewing mentions. Instead, they get pushed into a temporary buffer, and then added to the chat window when finished scrolling/reviewing.
    This fixes an issue with laggy scrolling with lots of activity in the room.


    Fixed a typo in the twit help file.


    New Features:


    Basic CTCP implemented. Syntax:
    /ctcp <target> <command>
    target: Can be users or rooms. An asterisk specifies all users in the
    current room.
    command: The CTCP command to be issued. Supported commands:

    VERSION: Returns the user's MRC client version information.
    TIME: Returns the client's (BBS's) current local date/time.
    PING: Doesn't seem fully implemented; most Mystic clients return
    an empty string.
    CLIENTINFO: Returns list of commands supported by the remote client.

    Example usage:
    /ctcp * time
    Output returned:

    * [CTCP-REPLY] StackFault TIME 03/31/25 14:49
    * [CTCP-REPLY] geekboy TIME 03/31/25 14:49
    * [CTCP-REPLY] mafiath TIME 03/31/25 14:49
    * [CTCP-REPLY] k9zw TIME 03/31/25 19:49
    * [CTCP-REPLY] zharvek TIME 03/31/25 14:49


    User can hide/show incoming CTCP requests with /toggle_ctcp.
    They're shown by default.


    User actions.
    User types /me to perform an action in the room.
    Example usage:
    /me sips coffee
    Message sent to chat room:
    * Codefenix sips coffee


    Housekeeping:

    Updated help files. Moved some nonessential commands to /help more (noted in main /help).
