lol yer ruining this guys thread on a personal vendetta.
Your whole argument is ridiculous. Yes, that is a valid way to point to file paths. So? What the heck is your problem? There is more than one way to write scripts in mIRC.
In the future, I'd really appreciate it if you toned down your attitude in general when discussing mIRC with me. This has happened more than once.
My paths are correct. I make sure mirc.ini is in the directory with mirc.exe. I point directly to the path basing off of the root of the currently running mirc.exe. I have over 2000 users around the world on Windows machines Win2k+ and mIRC 6.21+ and they all agree. They have no issues with my chat interface.
If I am adding scripts to someone else's full script or server connection then I better not ruin any of their files, variables, aliases, etc. That's up to me as the script writer.
If I release something publicly and someone wants to add to my scripts. If their stuff overwrites my files then that's their problem. They need to adjust their code, not mine. There are a few ways they can do this of which using an independant folder and $scriptdir is one solution.
If you showed an ounce of respect or humility I would take the time to show you what I'm doing and why. You have not seen any of my scripts. How can you judge me? You are being silly. Now let this guy get some help and drop this bs of how YOU think everything should be run.
