It takes about 750ms to open on my computer, which I think is too long. Unfortunately, I cannot see a way to speed it up. The Options dialog has a huge number of settings/controls. The only solution would be to move some option groups to their own separate dialogs.

If you install mIRC using the "portable" option in the installer into a clean, empty folder and test that, on the same Windows 10 installation as your current mIRC, do you see the same issue?

I'm afraid this is due to OpenSSL v3.x which has a much slower SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() function. After the move to OpenSSL v3.x in mIRC v7.73, the next version, v7.74, changed how this function is called to minimize the slow-down when multiple connections are opened at the same time. However, it is still slower than older versions of OpenSSL, and there will inevitably be a pause, especially since mIRC is a single-threaded application.

And I am way more than happy to translate into Ukrainian if that's okay!

mIRC does support +draft/reply

i created this and uploaded it so that you can review / play around / implement

sorry if this is an old issue / been done but i did search

• fully comp with ircv3 +draft/reply spec
• uses playback on join to keep time compatible
• inline garbage collection
• compatible with any other clients
• no need to use DLLs or extermal application

i uploaded the files so that you can d/l and see for yourself
reply_mirc.rar

file extension is different but standard .mrc style script file

I don't quite understand the essence of your request due to poor translation, which can distort the meaning of the question, but I will try to guess and answer correctly...

The message "The next attempt is possible in XXX secs" is sent only to those users who have executed the command "!number <number>" once.
Then they should wait 300 seconds, as written in this command: hadd -mz number $nick 300
If someone guesses the secret number, the game resets all data, including hashes about the number of seconds to wait until the next attempt.

That is, if the bot is missing the variable %number, you will not be able to execute the command "!number", because this line will prevent it:
if (!%number) { msg $chan Come up with a new number: !game [number] | return }


If you want to hide the timeout before the next attempt from users and not write anything, then change this line:
if ($hget(number,$nick)) { notice $nick The next attempt is possible in $v1 secs. | return }

to: if ($hget(number,$nick)) { return }


In any case, from my modest testing, this message should not be visible to users when the game is stopped or has not yet been launched.

Good evening. Is there an addon or a way to know how many times a NICK (i.e. PIPPO) parted and joined from a channel? Of course I mean since I joined in that same channel.
Thanks

Thank You that fix also worked for me, i spent hours yesterday trying to fix it

Thanks for your bug report. I have not been able to reproduce this issue here so far. I followed these steps:

1) Started up a clean install of Windows 11
2) Downloaded mIRC v7.78 from the mIRC website
3) Ran the mirc778.exe installer and installed mIRC to the C:\Program Files (x86)\mIRC folder.
4) Ran mIRC by double-clicking on the mIRC icon on the desktop.

If you install mIRC to clean, empty folder in your Windows Downloads folder, using the "Portable" option in the installer, and run mIRC from there, do you still see the same issue?

At which point do you see the issue? When you first run mIRC? Before the About dialog appears on startup? When the Options dialog opens? When you connect to a server?

Hi,

The particular triggers for this message in Undernet ircu are:

- Username containing both upper and lower case, but starting with lower case.
- Username containing both upper case and lower case, and at least 3 leading upper case characters.
- Two groups of digits, but neither is at the start or end of the username.
- More than three groups of digits.
- Any of -_. after -_. or at the start of the username, or more than two of those anywhere in the username.
- No letters at all.
- Last character is punctuation rather than letter or number.


If you choose a username that does not trigger any of the conditions above, you will be able to avoid this error.

doesnt work

I do not mind at all about the size/number of lines or if it's made for the public or not, so if that's what is bothering you, just share (I also would like to see the regex units tests).

Well all I can say is what I've said in my previous post. Since the fix I've used this help file via my alias in combination of running the mIRC help file alongside it more than 200 times, probably in various order of opening, without any problem, until two days ago.
I would prefer if you were not reverting the fix for now, as I'll probably update to from 7.77 to the next beta to play around more with it on lastest version. You can eventually revert the fix in the next stable release if nothing great comes out of it.

That being said, the link to the fix in your previous post definitely seems confident in the fact that using topic instead of context id makes the bug go away. You mentioned a minimal implementation of it, could it be that mIRC is still using context id in some cases?

Thanks for your bug report. I was able to reproduce this issue. This has been fixed for the next version.

If you have the "Connect on startup" option enabled, this will unfortunately cause mIRC to crash on startup, since the issue happens when the Options dialog is opened.

The only way to get around it would be to manually edit/delete the perform.ini file found in the mIRC folder. If you installed mIRC as a non-portable application, this can be found in the C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\mIRC folder.

Due to lack of time I don't update the code and script anymore. Please use caution while using my project.
I want to thanks everyone in this thread and people on GitHub that have followed me while working on this project.
I hope in the future that someone else create a better project.

Thank you very much.

I followed the path you wrote and added:

.Chat:/ctcp $$1 chat

Bellow CTCP.

The menu appears and works great.

Thank you!

Thanks Talon.

I'm so old that I didn't notice when [extensions] was added. I will admit that I do keep track of versions.txt. Well. At some point I just noticed that something was wrong with my script that creates separate profile folders and started creating new folders without taking into account the entry in mirc.ini.


As for the Status Window logging option, so I need to look for a reference in mirc.ini that will ensure that I start another session with automatic logging disabled on startup.


Anyway, good work and the AI idea maybe not so stupid. Make another new version and re-deploy as in the case of 6.35.


Ps. If it works out, also think about making mIRC Options entries to designated directories also point correctly from mirc.ini. Seemingly small things but for the unaware or newbies it is another matter. And I guess if I'm not mistaken the values of $mididir, etc are pointed correctly.


Thanks.
Regards.

Thanks this has been fixed for the next version.

thanks Riftx!

Currently, the only way to hook events is by using a script and passing them to a DLL.

To create dialogs I still use dstudio.exe.

For coloring dialog elements I still use mdx.dll, but some functions doesn't work anymore and it's a ANSI dll, so it breaks some UTF-8 elements

this dialog here uses mdx.dll for coloring itens and to set custom fonts, everything works fine except for the UTF-8 chars on the titlebar



Would be very useful to have a native way for coloring dialogs

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.

Hello people.
I want to replace mdx.dll for dcx.dll on my script but I couldn't understand how to use it. Can anyone explain me how can I replace this code here from mdx.dll to dcx.dll?!

mdx SetMircVersion $version | mdx MarkDialog mp3_system
mdx SetDialog mp3_system icon sistema/imagens/player32.ico

mdx SetDialog mp3_system bgcolor $rgb(0,0,0)

mdx SetFont mp3_system 120 20 500 Segoe UI

mdx SetColor mp3_system 70 text $rgb(255,255,255)
mdx SetColor mp3_system 70 textbg $rgb(0,0,0)
mdx SetColor mp3_system 70 background $rgb(0,0,0)

mdx SetBorderStyle mp3_system 70 windowedge



thank you

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