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!

I think you want to use the "DCC -> Chat" Option when you right click on the nick?

If you want to make a "CTCP -> Chat" do that then you can edit the menu:

Tools -> Script Editor -> Popups (Tab) -> View -> Nickname list.

Example:

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.

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.

Thanks, I have added this to my to-do list.

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

I've already been helped.

What I wanted was this:

I second this request Using IRC and DCC with a 10Gbps eheh. Wrong tool? Maybe. But I love this piece of software since ages. Hopefully you will find the required fun soon!

Have a nice day, Khaled!

There are no betas available for testing at this time. Please download the latest version of mIRC from the mIRC website.

excellent thanks epic

ive edited it and this seems to work as expected incase someome needs it as well :

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)

[cnicks]
n0=,6,~,,0,0,0,2,10,0
n1=,30,&,,0,0,0,2,10,0
n2=,5,@,,0,0,0,2,10,0
n3=,3,%,,0,0,0,2,10,0
n4=,10,+,,0,0,0,2,10,0
n5=,93,,,0,1,0,2,10,0
n6=,13,~,,0,0,0,0,0,0
n7=,8,&,,0,0,0,0,0,0
n8=,4,@,,0,0,0,0,0,0
n9=,9,%,,0,0,0,0,0,0
n10=,11,+,,0,0,0,0,0,0

Try it like this:

I am also having this exact issue and I have no idea what is causing it. Started around the time I updated to 7.77. Frozen MIRC and I'm unable to even close it without going to task manager. Windows 11 home.

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!

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?

Thank you

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.
