Hi everyone. I have a proposal to all the mIRC scripting experts/new people here at the board. I am not new to mIRC at all (have been using it since February of 2000). I do have *some* scripting experience with mIRC, scripting is a fun thing to do, but I have never made any exciting scripts worth looking at.
If anyone posted script in here or asked me to do something with script I may be able to, with a little reading up on scripting topics, although I would appreciate pre-written script..
I was wondering if there was a script out there or if someone could write a script that would
1. send all or specified user-typed messages (the messages you type to a channel or query or DCC) to a special "container" (using variables, maybe?) for use later, so that (see 2.)
2. they can be recalled quickly by looking them up in a specially designed dialog box and when the messages are double-clicked from the dialog (many messages at once can be highlighted, and can be set to a delay so they don't flood a room), they would be entered into a chat room again just as they were typed before.
3. The dialog box would consist of a drop-down box that allows to search for all messages typed to a nickname (remember, the messages that will be selected are the user's own messages), by chat room or by date or all. (Okay, that may be a stretch, but I can dream!) The dialog box also has a text area that shows the messages typed recently (the main selection area) and the user could select more than one message for use in a conversation or file server.
I do go to IRC that have File Servs. It will be helpful to me (or it could be helpful to anyone else who uses DCC file servers) because when on IRC, I could easily cycle through messages in the dialog that were typed previously in a DCC server (in case I exited the server recently) so I don't have to type out directories over and over.
You may ask, why don't I just use the arrow keys to cycle through messages? Good question! Partly because it takes a while to do this, especially if I look up something further back and then I want to look up something closer to when I typed - it gets to be a pain.
I'm using mIRC v. 6.03.
Due to my lack of advanced scripting knowledge I may not have any crazy-useful scripts to give in return for this favor, but if it were done I would be grateful..It doesn't sound like the easiest thing in the world, but I believe it can be done - and then some.
