IRC client with term-sensitive notifications?

Postby uvelius » Mon Jan 11, 2016 9:46 pm

I am looking for a Win IRC client that can play custom alert sounds if certain terms turn up in the chat.
It seems Pidgin can't do that.

Any suggestions?

Hexchat

I downloaded it yesterday and you can go into preferences and que what words trigger an alert.

I have Hal going "There is a message for you"

Great, thanks. Already downloaded that but was unsure. No plug-ins required?
Okay I am on it ... I am correct that I first have to put the word in the "Extra Words to highlight" and then set the Sound under "Sounds"?
But which Sound Event is attached to the Highlighted?

Not that I know of.. I installed all but the plug ins at the end.

It is Beep and I put "Ratsignal,Dispatch" in Extra words to highlight, don't put a space.. in there at all.. it creates false triggers.. was having almost all messages ping on my yesterday till someone told me this

I do that way I know when someone is talking to me, and don't need to be sorry. Ask away ^,^

Thanks! I just would like to assign the short rat squeak to the event that someone names me, and the long squeak in case of Ratsignal.

Hmmm ... how would a HexChat custom Event Call code look like? I want to bind a CASE RED to another type of alarm than a simple Ratcall or me being named.
