Forums mIRC Help maxdepth command

Hi!

mmm, my question is:

what happened with maxdepth command?

That command is cited in mircFAQ document, but mIRC doesn't know it (say the typical: /maxdepth: not connected to server :S).

mIRC 6.17

Greetings

I'm unable to find this command in any mIRC documentation.

This command was so old, it was removed since mIRC 4.6.
mIRC used to allow alias recursion, and /maxdepth was there to set a depth limit to that.

I didn't know it

Well... but... What command I could use instead /maxdeph?

There isn't any way to change the limit on recursion because technically speaking speaking it doesn't exist in mIRC scripting anymore.

You can get around it by using indirect recursion with two aliases which call each other or by calling the command via scon/scid (example here). Both of those methods are severely limited by mIRC's own call stack limit which cannot be increased, so you may find you have to avoid recursion completely.
