Forums mIRC Help Connecting to multiple (three) network on startup

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to use perform so that I can automatically connect to three networks plus the channel (s) when I start mirc but I can't seem to get it to work.

Can someone tell me how to do it? I have been told to use script but I am not sure how to do this.

P.S. - I am also looking for a bot that is similar to the koolbot. If anyone can provide me with some information about this, I would be very grateful.

Thank you

The Perform section cannot perform commands when mIRC starts up, only when you connect to an IRC server.

To perform commands when mIRC starts you do indeed need a script, you need to use the ON START event, see /help ON START. You might use something like this:

ON *:START:{
server irc.server.here -j #channel1,#channel2,#channel3
server -m other.server.here -j #blah,#blah,#blah
server -m another.server.here -j #some,#other,#channels
}

This would connect to 3 servers when you start mIRC and automatically join the specified channels.

For mIRC bots, check out the following websites:

www.mirc.net
www.mircscripts.com
www.hawkee.com
www.mircscripts.org
www.google.com (Search)

What do I do with this?

About the bot url, I have browsed through mircscripts.com and I found nothing except koolbot but I assumed that this was because I did not know a specific name of a bot but I will keep on searching. If anyone knows one, please let me know!

P.S. - Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry, should have explained that.

The code bit (only the green bit), goes in your Remote section, press ALT+R to access it. Make sure it's on multiple lines and not just on one line. Also make sure it's in a NEW file, go to File > New.

Make sure you replace 'irc.server.here' and the channel names with your own servers/channels, you can add more if you wish by following the same format on a new line.

Using the format site:url.com search-term you can search a specific website with Google. See this example and this one to see what I mean in action. Some websites have their own search feature look for a 'Search' link. Make sure you search for 'bot' or 'mIRC bot', not a specific bot name.

Thanks,

This seems to do the job. But now, I am having problems with some of the network to connect because of password issues. Some of them require authentication. Is there a way around it?

If you mean the server requires a password, the format of the /server command becomes:

server irc.server.here password -j #channel1,#channel2,#channel3
server -m another.server.here password -j #blah,#blah,#blah.

If you mean you need to identify to some Services, then you can use the Perform section to do it (or the ON CONNECT event.)

Further reading:
/help ON CONNECT
/help Perform
/help /server

Hope that's of some assistace!

Yes, that's what I meant - but unfortunately - this didn't work. I am not sure why. If I type /pass mypassword for each then the connection will be made.

P.S. - Thank you, you save me the hassle of running four mirc folders.

I doubt the /pass command is the same as the password mIRC sends to the server then.

You could probably use the ON SNOTICE event to see when the server asks you for the password (if it does send you any form of notification) and automatically do it that way.

Regards,

I am sorry, ON SNOTICE?

On Server Notice.

/help ON SNOTICE.

Yeah, I get that part but I don't know what to do with the given information.


I am assuming that it is something similar to the first one you have given me about the ON START, but I am not sure how to configure it.

I am guessing that I should add below what I already have something like this...

ON *:SNOTICE:{
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
}

Well I got lucky and I got it working.

I had to do the following.

ON *:START:{
server irc.server.here password MYPASSWORD -j #channel1,#channel2,#channel3
server -m other.server.here password MYPASSWORD -j #blah,#blah,#blah
server -m another.server.here password MYPASSWORD -j #some,#other,#channels
}
