Automaticly reload scripts after edit #232680 15/06/11 07:39 PM

DuXxXieJ D	Is there any setting to reload scripts automaticly when they've been changed? My bot is running on an other pc where I connect to using FTP. Using the FTP I edit it's scripts, but I need to use .reload <script> to have it reloaded. The popup "<script> has been changed, reload from disk?" comes back every time. Any idea?

If you have no clue, here is an example: Code: on :Text:.reload :#:{ var %file = $+($scriptdir,$1,.mrc) if ($exists($qt(%file))) { .load -rs $qt(%file) notice $nick $nopath(%file) successfully reloaded. } } You should change the path to your script directory path, or adjust the code in the way you want... Hope this helps. Nothing...

DuXxXieJ D	@Masoud, I already said that I was using a script, which was the problem because I don't want to reload the script manually, that's why I asked for an automaticly <----- option for this. Not a manually. But thanks tho. @DJ_Sol and RoCk Both options didn't help. Maybe I didn't explain well, I'll try better now: I'm running a mirc bot, which has scripts loaded (doh). Because it's on an other PC, I'm editing the scripts by FTP. So, I connect to it's ftp server and edit a file and then save it. Now the script has been edited, but needs to be reloaded to make the changes work. Let's say the script first had a !command which replied with 'hello!'. I've edited the 'hello!' to 'hello $nick $+ !'. When saving the file (by FTP!) I want it to reload automaticly in mIRC, because when I've saved it and using !command it'll still shout 'hello!'. So actuallly I'm looking for an mIRC option that reloads and loaded mIRC script when edited, without doing ANYTHING. Maybe this explanation was better? If it wasn't clear enough tho. --- EDIT ---- @Masoud; .load -rs is quite double, reload will work as well :P Last edited by DuXxXieJ; 16/06/11 08:34 PM.

Lol, I just wanted to post again with having a idea, which is a timer to check the 'edited at..' date/time and if that was later than the var %time (or something that's been set while loading) it should reload itself. I'll go try yours

Ok, I've been looking in the mIRC help file $md5. So, if I do //echo -a $md5(files/fun/fortune.txt) I get 0bca7c6a0c47c954973fd24783c7ce5b. Can't really figure out how this should say the file has been edited (can't decode it.) - EDIT - Didn't saw the Nth part, I now have used //echo -a $md5(files/fun/fortune.txt,2) which appears to be different when I've changed the file. Hope this'll work! Thanks Last edited by DuXxXieJ; 16/06/11 11:50 PM.
