Forums mIRC Help How do I automate Nickserv Identify <password>?

Can I automate the /msg nickserv identify <pw> needed when I enter a channel that wants that?

on me:*:JOIN:#mychan:msg nickserv identify PW

where do i put that command?

That goes into your Remotes (Alt + R)

Please note that most networks ask/require the information when you connect rather than when you join a specific channel. Also the code given would send the same password no matter what network you were on.

Personally, I use the following (with the specific details hidden)

Note that this does require you to use the same password on each network. If you use different passwords on each network then the code would have to be changed.

Replace network1 network2 network3 with the appropriate network names and <password> with the appropriate password.

russel, thx

is the space in front of '.msg ' necessary?

ALSO; are network and server the same thing?

That big a space isn't necessary, but there does have to be a bit of space, usually 2 presses of the space bar is sufficient. Also note that the spaces are needed both between the { and the .msg as well as at the end of the line before the }
Alternatively, you could just put the .msg line on a separate line.

As to network and server, sometimes they are the same, sometimes they are not.
Bigger networks will have multiple servers that people can connect to.

One network I'm on is Xeromem, thus //echo -a $network returns Xeromem
However, //echo -a $server could return any of these:
DeathStar.XeroMem.Com
Structure.XeroMem.Com
Mysfyt.Waysted-Youth.Net
Astaroth.ESyLumIRC.com
Hell.ESyLumIRC.com
Insanity.Vapors.Net

These are all servers that are connected to the Xeromem network.

egads!

DroidLife is a 'server' I added to server list.

I put this in Remote:

;on *:notice:*nick* is registered*:*:{
if ($istok(network1 network2 network3,$network,32) && ($nick == nickserv) { .msg $v2 identify <password> }

on *:notice:*nick* is registered*:*:{
if ($istok(DroidLife) && ($nick == nickserv) { .msg $v2 identify xxxx }

when I entered server next time, it did NOT ask me to IDENTIFY, so maybe it worked?

If it didn't ask you to identify then it probably did work.
However, please note that if it did it was a bit of a fluke as this line is misconfigured.
It should look like

If you only deal with one network, then you could replace $istok(DroidLife,$network,32) with ($network == DroidLife)

Ok, I see the difference, will comment my 'active line of code and see if I get asked to ident.

this:
on *:notice:*nick* is registered*:*:{
if ($network == DroidLife) && ($nick == nickserv) { .msg $v2 identify password}

yielded:
-NickServ- You are now identified for drumtrucker

THANKS AGAIN!

how do I do this if my password contains the $ symbol please?

I do not see any obstacles for this. The password may be sent and received using any symbols, available in the encoding used by your network, services and the client.

For example:


But nevertheless, if in some way there are obstacles for this, then you can try using a temporary variable "%my_pass" to save there the password, where this the symbol will be: $ = $chr(36)

In the script code it will look like this:


Don't forget to change "YourNetwork" to the name of your network. Try this method, perhaps this will help you solve your problem.

P.S. I tested this even using as a password Japanese characters in unicode.

Also, Epic's method works fine even if the password begins with the $ or % character:

//echo -a $+($,version) and $+(%,variable)

You could also use $eval to prevent a password being evaluated: //echo -a $eval( $passwordstring ,0)

And, while it is true that you have your password be given to nickserv while connecting to the server, by including it in the serverlist entry, I have encountered networks in the past where services frequently died and restarted, where they immediately demanded everyone's password again, forcing everyone into a guestnick if they didn't send their password again.
