Nicnames for special People by R-Style on 07-18-2005 at 12:18 PM
If you make a nicname you don't want that everybody to read that nic...
here an example:
Friends
---------
David
Peter
Anne
Assholes
-----------
Tom
Joanne (ex Girlfriend)
-----------------------------------------
You have a nic like this: I hate my ex Girlfriend
this nic: I hate my ex Girlfriend
you want that this nic only can be seen by your friends but not by your
ex girlfriend.
For the Assholes group you make a nic...
What a beautifull day
is it possible to make a plugin for this.
or an extra addon for Plus...

Short answer: not possible.
Long answer (search): Impossible due to protocol.

but it is possible to have a nickname per contact(well protocol wise)

That would be one awesome and useful plugin. Someone with some skills should get on it.

somthing in the way that stuffplug shows a short nickname in convos would do that but i think that still shows your normal nick in the contact list

If I am right then it's only possible to have a unique chat-only-name per contact. Your nickname in the contact list will be the same for everyone. This is also pointed out in the thread I mentioned earlier (Impossible due to protocol)

please correct me if im wrong,
but did'nt M_e's MyCustoNix do that, although it doesnt work now because of protocal etc.
mycustomnix gave (as juzzi stated) a chat-only nick per contact, and one for other contacts... the actual "nickname" (the one you change in your contact list) was there for everyone
the reason i'm not releasing a new one is because of the lack of features (a proxy is heavy for just one feature) and the incompatibility with stuffplug ng's chat only nick (which is a lame reason because it takes two minutes to write a fix for that)
i suggest you contact ecko_complex about this (MDX
), or a motivated coder to write a proxy which does this and can also have other features (like blocking multi-people convo's for example)
