The return values are: 0 = success, 1 = failure or'd with 2 = bad mapfile name, 4 = bad mapfile size, 8 = bad eventid, 16 = bad server, 32 = bad script, 64 = disabled (if disabled in the Other dialog). If I try to evaluate "$script(0", creating an error, sendmessage returns 1 and not 33 Code: LPCWSTR l = "mIRC"; HANDLE file = CreateFileMapping(INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, NULL, PAGE_READWRITE, 0, 4096, l); LPSTR str = (LPSTR)MapViewOfFile(file, FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, 0, 0, 0); strcpy(str, "$script(0"); int ss = SendMessage(hwnd, WM_MEVALUATE, 0, 0); #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

In that case, is it guaranteed that there are no other cases that generate a result of just '1'? I think the help file could be a little bit more clear about this, especially since these codes aim to clarify the source of the problem.. Saturn, QuakeNet staff

Quote: I think the help file could be a little bit more clear about this Looking at the help file, the errors seem fairly self-explanatory except for "bad script" and "bad server". In retrospect, I probably should not have added these as errors because they can only be returned if an event id is specified that does not have the original server/script present, so they should have been subsumed under "bad id". As they are already there, they will require a more complicated explanation in the help file.

With respect to the help file, what I meant was documentation of specifically the case of just '1' for script-level failures, which has to be deduced by trial-and-error right now. Simply something like "or just 1 for script errors" at the end of the current sentence would help a lot here I think. Saturn, QuakeNet staff
