Some of the line numbers in the default popups.ini aren't in order. maroon noticed this in this thread in mIRC Help for an older version, which made me check the default files for 6.33. They show the issue still persists.

Affected parts:

Code:

[bpopup]
...
n9=.Version:/ctcp $$?="Enter nickname:" version
n11=Set Away
...

Code:

[lpopup]
n2=Info:/uwho $1
n0=Whois:/whois $$1
n1=Query:/query $$1
n3=-
...
n6=.Unignore:/ignore -r $$1 1
n6=.Op:/mode # +ooo $$1 $2 $3
n7=.Deop:/mode # -ooo $$1 $2 $3
n6=.Voice:/mode # +vvv $$1 $2 $3
n7=.Devoice:/mode # -vvv $$1 $2 $3
...
n11=.Ban, Kick:/ban $$1 2 | /timer 1 3 /kick # $$1
n11=.Ban, Kick (why):/ban $$1 2 | /timer 1 3 /kick # $$1 $$?="Reason:"
...
n13=.Ping:/ctcp $$1 ping
n16=.Time:/ctcp $$1 time
n15=.Version:/ctcp $$1 version
n17=DCC
...

I, however, found that the problem only affected the default order/setting for the lpopup section.

From what I've seen, the nN= numbers are just there for compatibility with the .ini format, it doesn't actually read it in the order given by the numbers themselves. For example, replacing all the values with "n1=" gave me the same popups file and everything worked just fine. It seems mIRC just reads lexically through the ini line by line regardless of the number. What exactly is the problem then? edit: in fact, the nN isn't even required in itself, the following also works: Code: [qpopup] q=Info:/uwho $$1 x=Query:/query $$1 z=Whois:/whois $$1 a=- CEDG!=Ignore:/ignore $$1 1 \| /closemsg $$1 edit2: Given the above information, I don't think the original bug report has anything to do with the order of numbers in the default popups file.. the OP never even confirmed that assumption (nor did anybody else).

Yeah, it's mostly lpopup. In bpopup, it's just that one line (#10) is missing. I overlooked that at first though, so my guess is that you did too.

I don't know if there are any scenarios where this could have an effect; I merely reported it as a bug because it certainly wasn't intended to be this way, and Khaled is probably more likely to see this here than in mIRC Help. I'm not going to judge on whether it's "worth fixing".

However the multiple lines having the same N# reference, I think should be called a bug as the /writeini routine, to my knowledge, should've over-written the previous entries with the newer entry. Therefore there should not be two or more lines with the same N# reference.
