on dcc_chat (removed)
Former synopsis
/on [<noise>]dcc_chat "<pattern>" { <commands> }
Description
The dcc_chat event formerly ran when a message arrived across a direct DCC Chat connection. Its default action formatted the message and displayed it to the screen.
EPIC6 has removed DCC Chat and this named hook. It cannot receive DCC Chat messages or generate this event through the former built-in implementation. There is no current default display or automatic-response behavior for this hook.
Former parameters
| Parameter | Former meaning |
|---|---|
$0 |
Sender's nickname. |
$1- |
Received message. |
These describe the removed interface, not parameters supplied by EPIC6.
Compatibility
Attempting to register /on dcc_chat ... is rejected with No such ON function: DCC_CHAT. Retained references in scripts such as xmsglog do not restore the event or its transport. A script implementing its own direct connection must provide its own message handling.
For ordinary private IRC messages, see on msg. Those messages travel through the IRC server and have different protocol and reply rules; they do not replace a direct DCC connection. The former observation that DCC Chat was outside IRC's automatic-reply rules applies only to the removed transport.
