I already connect to these networks with an on startup script using the -i switch in /server, however, mirc does not respect this when disconnected and when trying to reconnect, it uses whatever is in the nick/altnick boxes in mirc's options. The problem however is that the content of those boxes seems to change at random between any of the nicks one uses, so one does not really have any control over the nick used when reconnecting after being disconnected, unless even more scripting is done.

If you use the server command while still connected, you will be disconnected with your normal quit message and will then connect to the specified server. You can also use /server N which connects to the Nth server in the server list in the connect dialog. You can also use /server groupname which will cycle through all the servers in the server list which have that group name until it connects to one of them. The -46 switches make /server connect to either IPv4, IPv6, or both types of addresses. The -e switch initiates a secure connection to an SSL capable server. Alternatively you can prefix the port number with a plus sign, eg. +7001. The -m switch creates a new server window for that connection and connects to the server. The -n switch does the same thing but does not connect to the server. The -pfoc switches prevent perform, popup favorites folder, autojoin channels, and the on connect event when you connect to a server. The -z switch minimizes the new server window. Example: Code: ;This will connect you to "server.com" on port 6667. Once a connection is established your: ; Nick will be "Nick1" ; ANick will be "Nick2" ; Ident will be "MyIdent" (if you have no ident server) ; Fullname will be "MyFullName" /server -m server.com:6667 -i Nick1 Nick2 MyIdent MyFullName I am SReject My Stuff

I think basically every other IRC client with a UI has multiple identity (per network) support by now-- mIRC is kind of behind the curve here and relying way too heavily on the scriptability, which, although powerful, is a little awkward to new users. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"

I already said it can be done with scripting, the problem is that nick and altnick are NOT kept per connection, so when reconnecting, it uses whatever is in the boxes in mirc's settings, which is not always what someone wants due to different nicks on different networks etc. I've tried trapping the disconnect event and then simply reconnect with a /server myself with the proper settings, but it doesn't always have the desired effect.

I agree with argv0 here. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel
