Marky Color Uno

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

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

i actually modified it in the following way:

Code: Select all

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

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: Select all

# choke on special chars
unochanmsg "stopped by \00310$nick!$uhost\003"
# stop choking
unochanmsg "stopped by \00310${nick}!$uhost\003"

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.
