Hi echicken,

I seem to be having an issue in the MRC client whenever setting a nick prefix.

I'm trying to use the following command to set a cyan > in front of my alias:

/nick_prefix [pipe]03>

(I'm substituting [pipe] in place of the | in this post to prevent unintended coloring)

What I expected to see from that command is my nick becoming:

[pipe]03>Codefenix

Instead, what happens is the prefix takes the place of the first character of my nick:

[pipe]03>odefenix

I've seen it happen for at least one other user on my board besides myself.

Looks like I did a stupid.

Can you edit line 157 of xtrn/mrc-client.js, changing it from this:

user.alias.replace(/\s/g, '_')

to this:

'_' + user.alias.replace(/\s/g, '_')

and then edit xtrn/mrc-client.ini, look in the [aliases] section for the line that begins with 'Codefenix'. Delete that line. (This will wipe out any nick customizations you've made.)

Run mrc-client again. Your nick should start as _Codefenix in some random colour. Try setting it to your desired value.

If that works, it's not a real/good/permanent fix, but I can figure out a proper solution later.

Change made, and it works nicely. Thanks!

Great - thanks for letting me know. I'll try to remember to poke around at this sometime soon and put a proper fix in place.
