Secure Password Storage rexbinary 26/07/26 08:27 PM

Hello,

Would you please consider adding support for retrieving server and SASL passwords from Windows Credential Manager, including passwords referenced by scripted /server commands. This would allow remote.ini and other scripts to remain portable without containing credentials in plain text.

Examples:

/credential get libera

/server ... -l sasl ... -password-credential libera

Thank you!

Re: On Join Simo 14/07/26 12:40 PM

I reckon you use unrealircd right? First i would detect for the country when they connect to the ircd and store that along with the nick so when they join channel you check against that and echo it to yourself to check if it's proper, the only thing is when they change nick before joining channels that might not work or you have to find a solution for that scenario to work as well.

Re: Request ban script particular... Simo 14/07/26 12:32 PM

It's called an extended ban, since it's account based perhaps the IRCV3 account tag can be used for that but i haven't used it before myself so i can't tell you how to do that.

thanks for a detailed insight into the issue!
well, i don't know, i'm back at v7.82 and it displays fine as in chat prompt, so in chat window.
i've no idea why MSwindows decided to treat that chat prompt encoding differently in v7.83 and v7.84, but that's what it is.. O_o

Re: 7.84 being flagged as Malware Khaled 26/06/26 08:30 AM

Thanks, this is the usual post-release issue where security vendors need to update their virus definition files. It happens with every new release. Seeing only three security vendors with false-positives is actually quite good on a new release.

A bigger issue is Microsoft's SmartScreen, which depends on reputation. Windows will literally need to see a file in wide use and declared as safe by enough people to accept that it is a safe file. mIRC users can click feedback to submit feedback to Microsoft.

This new release uses Microsoft Azure Artifact Signing to sign the executable and, from what I understand, consistent use of this will contribute to SmartScreen reputation over time. So hopefully this will make future releases retain reputation.

For users that report this:

If you have recently downloaded the latest version of mIRC from the official mIRC webstite, and you are seeing a warning from a security vendor, this is usually due to a false-positive which happens when an anti-virus company updates their virus definition files without checking them properly or is slow to update them after a new release of mIRC.

The result is that the anti-virus software starts incorrectly detecting some applications or files as trojans or viruses. Unfortunately this happens all the time. You would need to contact your anti-virus software company to report the issue and to ask them for a solution. They should then correct the error in the next update of their virus definition files and should be able to tell you how to prevent their software from behaving this way in the meantime.

In addition, some anti-virus applications are more sensitive to IRC applications than others and will actively block/delete their files. You would need to add mIRC to their exclusion list to get around this. If that does not work, you would need to contact the anti-virus company for help.

You could also try uploading your mirc.exe to https://www.virustotal.com to check it. There will usually always be a small number of security vendors that think a file has a virus/trojan, especially after a new release, but this is usually resolved by them after some time.

Re: Checkboxes in dialogs FiberOPtics 08/06/26 09:14 PM

Hi there, try this example

Code

dialog new_table {
  title "New Project"
  size -1 -1 251 161
  option dbu
  ; "text", id, x y w h, style  (left, push, 3state)
  check "Check Box", 1, 8 15 50 10
  check "Check Box", 2, 8 35 50 10, 3state
  check "Check Box", 3, 8 55 50 10, left
  check "Check Box", 4, 8 75 50 10, push
}

If you omit the style it will default the checkbox on the left and text on the right. Same with the 3state.

Connection Issues

Kiwi IRC - Connecting SkillsPino 05/06/26 06:21 PM

Hey,

I've been a Mac user for a long time and have been using Colloquy and found it very easy to use. I've changed jobs and now I'm on a Windows computer and I don't have admin permission, so I can't download mIRC. I grew up using mIRC, so I was looking forward to trying it again. But because it's an exe I can't install it. So I've tried using KIWI IRC web client, but when I try and login to any server, I just can't connect. It's asking for login/password, which I don't think I have as I never had to use it for the servers I was on before. And when I did some troubleshooting myself, it seems like the only way to register a nickname, is by getting onto the IRC server, which I can't do.

Long story short...anyone know how I go about getting on abjects through Kiwi IRC?

Thanks!

Currently, each time the script is executed, the image is cached again using /drawpic -cp, even though it may have been cached before and there is no need to do so.

The -p switch is already checking whether or not the frames have been cached.

Changing the position of an ID TECO 07/05/26 03:50 PM

Hi Khaled

mIRC offers the option to customize the size of a dialog box after it has been opened, using the following command:

Code

/dialog -s name x y w h

But there is no command to change the position of text, edit, button, check, radio, box, scroll, list, combo, icon, and link.

A new command could be created, such as:

Code

/did -p name id x y w h

So that we can position the dialog content after it has been opened.

When we need to create custom dialogs, sometimes we have to repeat several OK, Cancel buttons, or edit boxes or combos to position them in the desired location, when using the command /dialog -s name x y w h.

Re: Style editbox enable/disable TECO 27/04/26 04:23 PM

The only way I found that works and solves the problem is this:

Code

alias test { dialog -m test test }

dialog test {
  title ""
  option pixels
  size -1 -1 250 99
  check "Enable", 1, 12 15 50 16
  edit "", 2, 10 32 230 21, disable autohs
  button "&OK", 4, 164 66 76 23, ok default
}
on *:dialog:test:*:*:{
  if ($devent == sclick) {
    if ($did == 1) {
      if ($did($did).state) { .timeroff off | did -ve $dname 2 }
      else { did -h $dname 2 | .timeroff -h 1 190 did -bv $dname 2 }
    }
  }
}

However, this is not a perfect solution and may fail in some circumstances.

Display/show gif -- /drawgif Wims 17/04/26 09:57 PM

This code can be used to show a gif in a picture window, it auto loops and auto clean itself if you close the window:

To create/initiate the gif, use $drawgif(@win,x y,filename,cbalias,w h,customdelay)
It will return an ID value which can then be used to pause, resume, and delete the gif animation

pause: /drawgif -p <id>
resume: /drawgif -r <id>
delete: /drawgif -d <id>

'cbalias' is a callback alias called when the gif is finished, if not specified, the gif auto loops, if specified, the alias is called as an identifier, if you return something non-0 (non-$false and non-$null), it auto loops.
'w h' can be used to strech/squeeze into that bitmap size
'customdelay' will ignore the gif's delays and use that constant time (millisecond) between frames.


alias drawgif {
  if ($prop) {
    var %h drawgif $+ $1,%f $hget(%h,frame),%delay $hget(%h,cdelay)
    if (%delay == $null) %delay = $pic($hget(%h,filename),%f).delay
    if ($hget(%h,wh)) drawpic -os $hget(%h,wxy) $v1 %f $hget(%h,filename)
    else drawpic -o $hget(%h,wxy) %f $hget(%h,filename)
    .timerdrawgif $+ $1 -ho 1 %delay noop $!drawgif( $1 ).draw
    if ($calc(%f + 1) >= $pic($hget(%h,filename)).frames) {
      if ($hget(%h,cbalias)) {
        if ($($+($,$v1,$chr(40),$1,$chr(41)),2)) hadd drawgif $+ $1 frame 0
        else {
          .timerdrawgif $+ $1 off
          hfree drawgif $+ $1
        }
      }
      else hadd drawgif $+ $1 frame 0
    }
    else hinc drawgif $+ $1 frame
    return
    :error
    if (*invalid window* iswm $error) {
      reseterror
      .timerdrawgif $+ $1 off
      hfree drawgif $+ $1
      return
    }
  }
  if ($$1 === -p) .timerdrawgif $+ $$2 -P
  elseif ($$1 === -r) .timerdrawgif $+ $$2 -r
  elseif ($$1 == -d) {
    .timerdrawgif $+ $$2 off 
    hfree drawgif $+ $2
  }
  else {
    var %t $ticksqpc
    hadd -m drawgif $+ %t wxy $1-2
    hadd drawgif $+ %t frame 0
    hadd drawgif $+ %t filename $3 
    hadd drawgif $+ %t cbalias $4
    hadd drawgif $+ %t wh $5
    hadd drawgif $+ %t cdelay $6
    .timer -ho 1 0 noop $!drawgif( %t ).draw
    return %t
  }
}

Example

alias mayo {

  echo -sg $drawgif(@test,0 0,C:\Users\Ouims\Downloads\gm1.gif,gifend)
}

mIRCHub - A github alike but for mIRC Scripting Piratoshi 10/04/26 02:45 PM

Hello everyone. Hello Khaled!

I was thinking, mIRC came from a time when communities like github didn't exists yet.
But considering now we have such tools avaliable, wouldn't be cool to have a github alike but for mIRC Scripting code only?!
a mIRCHub, similar to github.
And if it would be possible to upload our scripting codes to this mIRCHub directly from a button in the "Scripts" dialog in mirc.exe
So we can keep code updated on mIRCHub sync to our scripting in mIRC.exe
I feel that we as a community would benefit a lot from a virtual place where we all can share our mIRC scripting codes if we want to as we edit them in our mIRC client.
What do you all think about this idea?

btw, have a good weekend 🕺
