to a certain level...

It would be impossible to take in account all addons, scripts, etc which do something alternativly. So far I'v seen commands starting with "!", "^", "$" and even commands which end in "!", and who knows what else... All this because people either simply don't know that you can make "/" commands, or think it will always render the message "command is not reconized", or because they want to be different...

The reason why Windows is so full of wierd and inlogic stuff or things which are/should have been long obsolete, but is still used (eg: Special Folders reg key) is because of this "take in account idiocy". And because it is still there, people (mis)use it and learn the wrong thing (eg: again Special Folders reg key). The same is just happening with those "!" commands...

---------

Orgrim, what you also can do instead of fixing every script you have which might alter messages, is making a small script with "/" aliases for the StuffPlug "!" commands (though I hope TB makes the commands starting with "/" instead, if possible).

RE: Script that disables another
markee and i will put this in when stuff plug is not a beta..... and also if stuff plug used (as you said cookie) a "/" for the commands it would be much better.

i had an idea that you would be able to do it (i think).... and that is by using a quick text with a / at the start. but it might not work.

Alright, just to defend myself here, I don't like the ! commands either. However, StuffPlug commands are parsed after Plus! commands, and as such if I use / commands, Plus! will catch them first and throw an error message :/
Isn't all that handy for users :(
I'm still working on a workaround, but for now you'll have to settle for !

maybe Patchou can add a function to Plus! to wait for other addons to parse their commands :P



EDIT: Okay now these posts are getting us off topic here! lol

i just know that you can disable the script by plus! preferences.
i dont think a script can disable another script... that sounds odd..
