Dialogs and Advanced Scripting Bitgod 07/11/24 01:40 PM

Hello, fellow mIRCer's.

Has anyone come up with a newer solution to have colored syntax in scripting? I recall someone from #mirc (argv0?) who said there is a .dll but I think it no longer worked.

Also, what's a common dialog creator/maker these days?

Thank you for your replies.

Re: Chat Gpt Riftx 06/11/24 12:56 PM

Hello,

I made a very basic script meant to encourage msl scripters to take it wherever they would like. It is intended to help people get over the hump of making API calls to openai so it's not bulletproof or feature packed but is instead quick and dirty. You can check it out here: https://github.com/sam-hiatt/Simple-chatgpt-mirc/

Extension to $dialog( N ) behavior Iire 05/11/24 11:04 AM

Would it be possible to extend the behavior of $dialog( N ) to be able to take an optional table argument as well, such that it (as would hopefully be obvious) returns the name of the Nth dialog using a specific dialog table (or the total number of them if N == 0), rather than just giving an "invalid name" error as it does currently? I realize this use case might very well be rather niche; I'm not entirely sure how common it is to even have multiple dialogs with the same dialog table open at once, and of course it isn't difficult to emulate the behavior by checking the table property, but certainly some scripts somewhere must allow multiple dialogs with the same table to be open at once, and for those that do, not having to manually make that specific check would probably be a small but nice bit of relief.

Re: /dialog -t don't recognize utf chars Khaled 02/11/24 01:55 PM

The most likely reason is that mdx.dll is not using Unicode.

Re: Editable Language Files Khaled 02/11/24 10:04 AM

Just a quick update on the language support in mIRC.

Since the last release (when language support was added) I have mainly been reviewing translations (Spanish, French, and German so far) to improve how mIRC parses/accepts/rejects valid/invalid string formats and to detect other issues in translated text. mIRC is an old application with 3000 strings of text, written over almost thirty years, that use different formats, sentence structures, contexts, and so on. These pose a real challenge to translators and I don't envy them having to translate them.

As I was not sure if/when users would contribute translations, I asked Alconost to translate the mIRC resources on Crowdin into Spanish as a first step. While this was in progress, French and German translations were kindly contributed. I have uploaded the French and German translations to Crowdin, which has allowed me to compare the English, Spanish, French, and German translations alongside each other. For the most part, the translations are great. However, there are some tricky combinations of words that I need to provide feedback on to the translators, which will require significantly more time and effort on my part. I would really like to establish a good base-line set of translations, since these may be used by other translators on Crowdin to decide context, meaning, etc. in the future.

I was originally hoping that a set of EFIGS language DLLs would be ready for distribution with the upcoming release but, at this point, I think more work is needed. So the current plan is to release the next version of mIRC soon and to continue work on EFIGS languages for the next release.

Thanks for your help/feedback with the translations so far everyone.

Fast script Koc 22/10/24 02:22 AM

I am running a script. There are 53 messages that execute over an hr and half period. My problem is that as my script gets further in the timing is drifting. My script slowly starts running faster than it should. The seconds are scripted correctly for when I want them to execute. At about 10 minutes the script is executing about 1 minute ahead. By an hr they are executing 6 minutes ahead. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The script appears as such
/timer 1 60 msg #test welcome
/timer 1 100 msg #test 1st message

Re: Nickname colorization by user status Digi1977 28/09/24 08:20 PM

I use these colours myself, set by mIRC Address Book (Tools Menu -> Address Book) or ALT+B

~ Purple / & Yellow / @ Red / % Green / + Blue - and after 10 mins of inactivity, They turn dark colour

Or search for cnicks in mirc.ini and replace with this:
(remember to go into Address Book and tick Enable so they show up)

Re: Move status windows back to MDI? mc128 16/09/24 09:37 PM

Wow, thanks Khaled! I searched the settings/help for quite a while -- I was convinced this setting didn't exist. I've been using mIRC since 1997 and it's surprising (in a good way!) that you're still updating it so often and replying to help requests in such short order. I really appreciate it. Keep up the nice work!

See list of channels on the server marisco 07/09/24 05:08 PM

Hello I use mirc 7.77 and above the icons where the heart is on the right is the "channel list" button.
Click and the menu comes up and if I click on "search" or "list" all the channels on the server come up but the list of channels on the server doesn't come up.
The menu closes and the Channels list window is empty.

How does the search and list button work?
In the help: https://www.mirc.com/help/html/channels_list.html

Thank you

Re: Issues with Button Labels in Spanish Translation Khaled 07/09/24 10:39 AM

Thanks for looking into translating the resource files. Please note that there is currently work on a Spanish translation, although it needs user feedback to improve it. There is an ongoing discussion here about translations currently in progress. This is a recent feature in mIRC, so I am still working on streamlining the process, improving how mIRC handles translated files, updating the website, and so on. I should hopefully have this sorted out before the next version release.

Re: Can't close the windows Quiller99 28/08/24 08:33 PM

Khaled:

I sent you this bug report quite a while ago and neither of us could find a way solution to it, so I have been using an earlier version of MIRC with no problem. However, while discussing it with a friend more recently, he pointed out that clicking on the icons in the upper right hand corner was a Windows function, not a MIRC function. On a hunch, I ran the latest version of MIRC (7.77) through the compatability troubleshooter, and THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM! Why this should have even happened, I have no idea, but I thought I'd let you know in case anyone else has this problem.

Thanks
