Forums mIRC Help how to auto op people

how do i auto op people when im the main operator? so they automatically op when they sign on.

If you're going to be in the channel all the time, or have a client acting as a bot that's going to be there, check the /aop command in the help file. /help /aop

ok, thanks

its still not working, i dont get what i have to type in the

/aop [-rw] <on|off|nick/address> [#channel1,#channel2,...] [type] [network]

Options:
/aop on
Turns the aop (auto-op) system on
/aop off
Turns the aop system off
/aop <nick>
Adds <nick> to the aop list. Will be auto-opped on all channels that both of you share when <nick> joins
/aop <address>
Adds <address> to the aop list. Will auto-op anyone using the specified address when they join a shared channel
/aop <nick> #channel
Adds <nick> to the auto-op list for the specified channel. Multiple channels can be specified with them being comma separated.
/aop <address> #channel
Adds <address> to the auto-op list for the specified channel. Multiple channels can be specified with them being comma separated.
/aop <nick> [type]
Uses [type] to determine address format for the /aop command. See /help $mask for valid options for [type]
/aop <nick> [network]
Only applies to specified network. Current network is used by default.
/aop -w <nick>
Entry valid for all networks
/aop -r <nick>
Removes <nick> from the /aop list

I didn't go through all of the possibilities, but the major uses have been covered.

Note: Adding a nick or address to the aop list will turn the /aop command on automatically.

If you need direct assistance, post your network and channel, and I'll come by and help one on one.

First:
/aop on

Then either of these (obviously a nick/address other than mine and different channel):
/aop Riamus!Riamus@host.com
/aop Riamus!Riamus@host.com #Invision

You can also add the network if you want and you can use a nick or an address (the address is the smarter thing to do).

To read the help file:
1) Anything in []'s is optional
2) Things separated by | are choices... you enter one of them.

I don't have the help file in front of me, so can't see what -r or -w are for. I'm assuming -r is to remove a name, but not sure about -w. It should say in the help file, though.

EDIT: RusselB beat me to it. And his explanation is more thorough.

Does the network you are on have services? if so try using chanserv or whatever it may be called. A quick trip to the help channel may help.

Assuming you are using a clean mIRC the manual way of adding nicks to your aop list is by...

clicking the address book icon at the top of mIRC
go to Control tab
make sure list type is set to Op
Put a check(tick) in the enabled box
click Add
type in the nick, channel and network
click Ok Ok

job done.

That sounds a lot more complicated than typing

Where channel and network are optional, and multiple channels can be specified by separating them with commas.

You'd think so wouldn't you! I guess some people just like a GUI.

I have nothing against GUI, and in some cases it is easier...in fact I have a menu code that I use for the /aop and /avoice commands for the channels that I'm on, so all I have to do is right click on the nick and select AOP (or AVOICE), and the code does the rest (default settings of the current channel and network, added if not already in the list, removed if present)
