Well, you gotta know the server details, first of all the IP address, or, if existing, the alias (something like “nick.dyndns.org” or “nick.cjb.net”). If the server is private, as often it is, you’ll have to know the port it’s listening to (the standard one is 21, but you may find 22, 23, 59, 92, and [...]
Wouldn’t it be nice if just by issuing the command /uptime you could send to the window you have currently open a test like this? This is what just appeared when I typed /uptime in my mIRC. Obviously my nick has been ripped off for privay reasons It is much more complete than any [...]
Maybe you didn’t know that by doing a simple /quit in mIRC, or pressing the Close Window button in the upper right corner of mIRC Windows, unless you had installed scripts like Polaris, or similar, the others were seeing a simple: *** Quits: Yournick (your@mask..in.here) (Quit: ) That’s boring! I mean, if you installed Polaris, [...]
And after a long idle period on active scripting, I decided to come back with a useful script, to update a page about a similar issue, which anyway didn’t show anything such advanced. This script does all the dirty job of managing events that inside mIRC are programmed to be able to generate sounds. It [...]
I suppose here you do know what lol rofl lmao brb afk and so on mean, so I will just go straight to the point: what if, when you write an anonymous, pale, shortly insignificant "lol" as simplr reply to a witty comment of one of your channelmates, or of your current query pal, mIRC [...]
Maybe sometimes you wondered whose IP was the one, for example, you saw on your FTP server, or on the smurf attack list of your firewall. Maybe, that IP belongs to someone who is in one of your channels in IRC; how to find out? Using a made up command which scans the channels you [...]
You can, on IRC, see which IP belongs to a user (whatever you need to know this for, obviously . This is achieved, inside mIRC, with the /dns command. So, for example, if you want to know what IP is using your channelmate Jogi you can do: /dns Jogi and you will see, after some [...]
Autoaway script for mIRC
Jun 15
The away flag is a very useful one, lets you be “justified” if you don’t answer someone’s query, or even lurk in incognito, so the pesters you don’t want to chat with, think you are not at the computer. In the first case, it often happens that you simply leave the PC connected, being AFK, [...]
You may think all it’s needed to shut up NickServ when you login on DALnet is putting a /nickserv identify password or /msg nickserv@services.dal.net identify command in the [File > Options > Perform] panel of mIRC… well… actually, it would. As in a perfect world there would be no wars nor poverty nor starvation, but [...]
