Update / Custom install issues Rich_Kelly 16/01/26 04:24 PM

I will try explaining this to the best of my ability.
First some PC info ... HP Compaq 6200 with Win 7 Pro upgraded to Win 10 Pro. Security updates, etc. are up to date. Any other info will be provided on request.
I recently tried updating from 7.58 to 7.83. I could get it to install BUT ... during install the "Destination folder" defaulted to the 7.58 version folder, which I have now been told is correct.
BUT, her comes my problems ... I've previously been told mIRC needs to be installed in the root (C:\) directory so, I named a new folder (Realm2026) and re-directed the install to THAT folder. It installed to that folder and after choosing the network, I was able to connect but, none of my settings were there. so, I proceeded to adding channels (rooms) manually and drudging through other settings to make it look like the old version.
It was at this time I was told by another experienced user on that network that I should have left it install to the recommended directory and that I should do so WITHOUT deleting the previous install and to make a Zipped backup of 7.58 version, which I did. It installed to the desktop.
I then tried to reinstall the7.83 script, which defaulted to C:\Realm2020\Realm2026\mIRC ... Realm2020 being the version7.58 script folder.
Now, defaulting to that destination, all it did was add a folder labeled Realm2026, which had the mIRC folder in it. There are several other folders along with the realm2026 folder that are NOT in the mIRC 7.83 folder.
My question to start with is this ... Is there an easy way to add all the old settings to the new version? What should and shouldn't I delete? If I need to do so, how can I get rid of the Realm2026 folder label? I would like to name the new Script Realm2026 but, don't want to cause issues doing so.
I am open to all suggestions concerning this.

TIA
Rich Kelly

Re: "SASL (/CAP)" login method password issue. Khaled 29/12/25 08:48 AM

Thanks for your bug report. I have not been able to reproduce this yet here. However, note that there are situations where changes to server entry will not be applied to a status window, eg. if you edit a server and press the "OK" button in the Options dialog while a status window is currently in the process of connecting, logging on, authenticating, etc. In such cases, pressing the "Connect" button in the Options dialog always applies the status window settings, as it cancels any ongoing connection process and starting a new one.

Re: SSL Record Layer Failure Wims 28/12/25 08:36 PM

Google says it's a DALNET issue, nothing mIRC can do (their SSL cert expired or they are advertising an incorrect version of SSL compared to what they actually use)

Typo in help document Bauderr 24/12/25 06:56 PM

In the help document under $finddir it says the following:

Code

$finddir($mircdir,logs*,1)  returns the first directory name beginning with "mirc"

As you can see, it says beginning with "mirc" however it is searching for logs*

Re: being kicked in certain channel KindOne 24/12/25 04:36 PM

If you know any of the ops names you can try private messaging them directly.

If you know of any normal users in the channel try messaging them and ask them to relay the message to the ops.

If the network has ChanServ you can "/msg ChanServ info #channel" to possibly get the channel owners name.

You might be able to view the channel ban list to possibly get other ops names if the ban list is public for people not inside the channel. "/mode #channel b"

Connection Issues

Re: SSL Khaled 22/12/25 10:27 AM

If you are using the latest version of mIRC, the SSL options dialog comes preset with defaults that normally do not need to be changed.

The "Server certificates" option should be left at "Reject invalid certificates", since if a server is using an invalid certificate, there is no guarantee that the SSL connection is secure anyway. A "Private certificate" is usually not needed. The "Certificate chain" should be left empty. The "Trusted authorities" is usually set to the cacert.pem file that comes with mIRC, but it can be left empty in which case mIRC will use the Windows certificate store. The "Allowed ciphers" should be left with the default settings - click the "Default" button.

Depending on the IRC network/server, the SSL port can be +6697, although it can be other port numbers. You would normally need to find out by connecting to 6667 first to read the server's MOTD (the message of the day that appears when you connect) which will provide information on their supported ports for secure connections.

Re: Edit Putmode for stacking kicks Simo 17/12/25 03:53 PM

does anyone know how to edit this so custom kick reason can be included as well like:

/putkick #channel nick kick reason here

or

/putkick #channel nick,nick,nick,nick kick reason here

heres what i work with so far :

Code


Alias putkick {
  if (!$isid) {
    var %echo = !echo -acq $+ $iif($active == Status Window,e) info *
    if ($regex(putkick,$1,/^-t(\d+)/)) tokenize 32 $2-
    if ($2 == $null) %echo /putkick: insufficient parameters
    elseif  (!$nick($1,$me,~&@%)  && o !isin $usermode)  { %echo /putkick: you need to need to  be at least half-opped or have ircops access } 
    else {
      var %name = putkick. $+ $cid $+ . $+ $1
      hadd -m kick %name $hget(kick,%name) $2-
      if (!$timer(%name)) {
        !.timer $+ %name -m 0 $iif($regml(putkick,1) isnum,$ifmatch,0) putkick.exec $cid $unsafe($1)
        !.echo -q $regex(putkick,reset,/reset/)
      }
    }
  }
}

alias putkick.exec {
  var %name = putkick. $+ $1 $+ . $+ $2,%nicks $hget(kick,%name)
  var %maxkick 10,%a 1,%tmp
  while ($gettok(%nicks,%a,32)) {
    %tmp = $addtok(%tmp,$ifmatch,44)
    if ($numtok(%tmp,44) == %maxkick) {
      if ($me ison $2) { kick $2 %tmp «1» }
      hadd kick %name $gettok(%nicks,$calc(%a + 1) -,32)
      if (!$hget(kick,%name)) {
        hdel kick %name
        .timer $+ %name off
      }
      unset %tmp
    }
    hdel kick %name
    inc %a
  }
  if ($me ison $2) && (%tmp) {
    kick $2 %tmp «2»
    hdel kick %name
    .timer $+ %name off
    unset %tmp
  }
}

Re: mIRC v7.83 FiSH Khaled 05/12/25 05:35 PM

The most likely reason is that the latest version of mIRC has been updated from the OpenSSL v3.0.x branch to v3.5.4. FiSH will likely need to be updated as well.

Update: A solution to this issue can be found on the FiSH 10 github page.

Re: Ban enforcer with kick limit Wims 01/12/25 02:14 PM

Well in fact I checked the code again and it is unsetting %kick after the /break, meaning that the if (%kick) part after the while loop should never get executed.

Edit: Most likely you described the problem incorrectly, what is triggering the kick is that last condition inside the while loop:

      if ($numtok(%kick,44) == 4) { kick $chan  %kick «-Banned-» | unset %kick }

and not the if (%kick) stuff outside, after the while loop

The overall logic of your event is unclear anyway, what is it that you want to do with nick affected by a ban ?

Indentation size in the script editor goblin58 28/11/25 09:19 PM

Would it be possible to add a user option to adjust the tab/indentation size in the script editor. I use a vs code for editing and I have my tab/indentation size set to 4 spaces, however loading/saving scripts reformats the indentation/tab size to 2 spaces.

Re: $urlget Khaled 24/11/25 08:23 AM

Thanks for your bug report. WinINet is reporting a decode error when "deflate" is specified in the Accept-Encoding header on this particular website. It looks like the implementation of deflate on this server is different from WinINet's version (see here for an explanation). I have changed $urlget() so that in the case of a decode error, it will retry the connection without compression, which resolves the issue in this case. This change will be in the next version.

website text script NewzNZ 23/11/25 08:36 AM

Hi there

I have some scripts to pull headlines etc from various news feeds.

Am currently using:
if (some-text-here isin %temp) {

to identify the line of text I want to use, but some of the sites have more of an RSS format and don't have unique lines or codes to identify them.

Just wondering if there's a way to pull a specific line number from a page? e.g. in a tcl script used on an eggdrop bot, it's [lindex [split $data \n] 6] where line 6 is the number.

Thanks in advance for any help...
